September book club #nominations

[wanderingheart]

It's time to start discussing for September's book! I posted the discussion for Cuckoo's Calling Saturday if you still want to participate.

Okay, runners up last month were Ready Player One, Rebecca, Modern Romance: An Investigation (Aziz Ansari's book), and A Royal Wedding. Keeping the Moon was also tossed in.

Honestly the only one on that list I'm not super interested in reading is Ready Player One, only because I'm not really into video games

I'm not either, but I loved the book. All of the references to 70s, 80s, 90s pop culture really made the book. And the author kept me wanting to know more.

I'm with pippacricket, Rebecca.

Also because I'm reading it now The Silkworm: Book 2 of the Strike series.

[thelittleredm]

Mercy by Jodi Picoult
It deals with the issue of the right to euthanasia and it is so good. Heavy, but good.

[getzystark]

Silkworm or Ready Player One.

It's really good. It focuses on the US Ambassador to Germany during the 1930's.

[kawaiikitsune]

The Race for Paris by Meg Waite Clayton sounds really good.

[teenybenoit]

Another vote for Ready Player One. You really don't have to be into video games to enjoy it.

I just bought The Martian yesterday so I'll nominate that one too.

I'll play too! 

+ another 1 for The Martian. This was next on my list to read.

Also on my list:

All the Light We Cannot See

Orphan Train 

[rablissful]

Rebecca, Silkworm, or Ready Player One!

I'm also going to throw out A Year Of Wonders again.

[Girlymama79]

Can I join you ladies? My vote would be for keeping the moon.

Sounds like my life! #psychnerdFTW

[wanderingheart]

The Martian looks really good, so I'd be down for reading that. Also I'm with pippacricket - September is my birth month so Rebecca would be a good birthday present for us BOTH! #weevensharebirthmonths

I'm going to throw out Go Set a Watchman. Because I lurve To Kill a Mockingbird.

[penguin129]

Maybe we should just give wanderingheart and pippacricket a birthday present of reading Rebecca for September...
