Goodreads Choice Awards Book Club discussion

Time to nominate your additional monthly read for October and it's time to mix things up again.

October is the tenth month of the year so for this month, I'm asking for book nominations that have a connection to 10 / Ten

Examples:
The title has 10 / Ten in it.
The title has 10 letters in it.
The title has 10 words in it.
Characters are celebrating their 10 year anniversary in the book.
Characters are meeting at thier 10 year school reunion in the book.

You get the idea right?

- When nomination the book please include the 10 / Ten connection to the book (any book nominated that doesn't have this explained will not be counted).

- When nominating please make sure you include the book link or book cover link. This can be done by clicking on the ' add book / author' link above the comment box.
Your nomination will not count if not in this format.

- Please refrain from nominating any book that is already scheduled to read as part of the Goodreads Choice Award Book Club. These can be found at http://www.goodreads.com/group/booksh...

- Please do not nominate a second (or later) book in a series read (as members of the group may not have read the previous books).
Your nomination will be not be counted if you do.

- Only one nomination per person will be accepted (if more than one is nominated, the first book posted will be accepted).

- Nominations will close on Sunday 25th, 5pm GMT and will be followed by a poll.

I want to nominate.....

As you can see it has 'ten' in the title and it looks sooooooo good!!!

Thanks!!!

and thanks from me too :)

You're both welcome. ;)

Hmm... Can I nominate The Rosie Project because it will be published (in the US) on October (the 10th month) 1st?

Americanah

Ten letters

Regarding my nomination , I had that title on my kindle wish list for a while and checked my list for a ten related book and there it was . Just thought I would explain further how I came up with my nomination .

Kristie, yes you can

was published January 10th, 2012. So the tenth day of the month? Does that count?

Lol Sarah! You are nothing if not determined! Hahaha :) I can't believe you haven't just read it yet. I love your enthusiasm for that book!

This is a book that needs to be discussed. I will read it though, eventually. But I am all booked up through the year with openings for BOTMs

I'll go with the orphan master's son

It was the Pulitzer winner. I am not the only one who is enthusiastic about this book. I have the literary community backing me. But it may not be for everyone, I know. Hee, hee;-)

I just love the idea behind this challenge! I would like to nominate Ten Mile River as the synopsis sounds very interesting and it has word 'ten' in the title :)

Here is the GR synopsis:

A stunning debut novel about survival and friendship on the streets of New York City. Best friends Ray and Jose are not your typical thirteen-year-olds. They've escaped foster care and juvenile detention centers to live on their own together in an abandoned building located near Manhattan Park called Ten-Mile River. With no use for school or families, street-smart Jose and bookish, introspective Ray have everything they need in each other. They are closer than brothers until they meet Trini. She?s smart, beautiful, and confident, and they both fall for her immediately. As tension creeps into their relationship, Ray must struggle to find an identity separate from Jose and try to envision a future for himself beyond Jose and Ten-Mile River.

This is Paul Griffin?s first novel, and his spare moving prose and uncanny ear for authentic dialogue is guaranteed to garner many fans.

Glad that people are liking my idea :)

Sarah - I'm not saying anything negative about the book. I just think it's great that you're so determined to get others to read it with you. :)

Cathie - Yes! I love this idea. It forces us to be a bit creative with our nominations.

All good nominations so far too!

I'm confused, I can't see any comment from Cathie .....

This is a great idea! Here's a non-fiction option: The Ten-Cent Plague: The Great Comic-Book Scare and How it Changed America

Oh I knew that. No worries. I'm just continuing my enthusiasm:)

I also really want to read Americana. And wouldn't mind The Rosie Project either. All on my tbr shelf already.

Lynn, I think she meant you?

Oh the author of also wrote - another one I really want to read. Not nominating - doesn't fit, but just saying.

LOL! Yes, I meant you. I have no idea why I said Cathie! I must have just been reading another post by her. Geez...nothing like posting when you're tired! Lynn - I love your idea!

I don't have a "ten" book or I'll have to search more thoroughly, however I thought this one was a perfect match: Ten Out of Ten (The Princess Diaries, #10). :D
I didn't include the link to the book because it was worth mentioning, not nominating!! :)

They all look good ... That's a hard choice I have to think about it a bit longer

Don't forget everyone nominations will close tomorrow, so if you're wanting to nominate you need to hurry up! :)

So far, all the nominations look great! :)

Nominations are now closed.
