message 9: by Vardan (new)

Vardan Partamyan (vardanpartamyan) | 186 comments My novel The After/Life was chosen as the BOTM for August on YA Dystopian and Apocalyptic fiction group. I would suggest my second novel I, the Provocateur as a possible group read and will also participate in the discussion thread. Apart from that, should the novel be chosen as the BOTM, I will introduce a special one month sale bringing the price down from 2.99 to 99c.

I, the Provocateur by Vardan Partamyan

Ender's Game Ender's Game (Ender's Saga, #1) by Orson Scott Card by Orson Scott Card - I am suggesting this since it will come out in the theaters very shortly.

When you are writing the comment, there will be a link above the box called "add book/author". Click on it and you can see two tabs - book and author. There will be two radio buttons at the bottom. Click "cover" if you want the bookcover to be displayed. Then, type the book title and click search. Click the add button on the right side of the book.

It should look like this now, without the spaces. [ b o o k c o v e r : I f I S ta y |4374400]

And post! Hope I made sense.

Kristie | 5928 comments Hi guys! Remember to use book links so that the book shows up in the "Books mentioned in this topic" list.

Also, you can check which books we've already read, so you don't suggest something that's already been a BOM, here: http://www.goodreads.com/group/booksh...

I've heard good things about The Husband's Secret. I haven't read it yet though.

I would like to suggest Before I Go To Sleep Before I Go To Sleep by S.J. Watson or The Last Original Wife The Last Original Wife by Dorothea Benton Frank . Two very different books!
