Goodreads Choice Awards Book Club discussion

Seriously, we're talking about November already? Anyway, it's time to nominate.

This month it's back to open nominations; you can keep with the Goodreads Choice Awards theme and nominate a runner up, or just nominate your favourite book, or a book that's been on your TBR pile for ages. Anything you want!

- 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.

- 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.

Solomon's Oak- Jo-Ann Mapson

Hmmm.. Seems I can't add the book via add book/author link. So sorry for not nominating properly.

No worries Diane, at least you've nominated. At this rate you'll be the only one to suggest a book lol

The Golem and the Jinni A wonderful book. Just finished it and enjoyed it very much! WOuld be great for lovers of many different genres: Fantasy, historical fiction, romance fiction, etc.

I set up three buddy reads for November, so I feel like all my nominations "won" already!

I think I'll nominate...The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman. That's my planned audio for the month. :)


I have to say that I like all the nominations so far. I had never heard of Solomon's Oak, but it sounds really good and the other two are already on my TBR.

The Sea of Tranquility is soooo good! Great nomination Yasmeen.

You know what I was going to nominate Doctor Sleep, but then I got to thinking if we keep nominating possible winners in this year's awards, our BOTM's for next year will be very low in participation. (And I have a feeling that Doctor Sleep will probably be the horror winner simply on name of author alone.)

So I will nominate The Winter Sea

Welcome Jackie :-)

OK I am adding my own nomination.
. I am reading this right now and going crazy because I desperately need to discuss this book. I am so shaken up by the ethical issues addressed and it has really got me thinking. Wow. What a read. This is one that will stay with you. This book was written for a BOTM or book club or the classroom. This is a must read.

Hurrah! We have nominations :D

Sarah, I read that last year I totally get your need to discuss it!!

I Am Number Four



This book is really good. I have read this four or five times over. It is really good. I nominate it with 5 stars!

A Town Like Alice by Nevil Shute

I've had this on my TBR list for a couple of years now - I've seen the movie and heard that the book is wonderful.

I look forward to this one , Lorraine . I had just added this to my tbr !

Looks like everyone was just waiting for someone else to nominate first!

Lucky by Alice Sebold

Hello. I am new to the group so don't always know if the books have been read as yet, but if this one hasn't, I would like to nominate The Twelve Tribes of Hattie

Thank you

I nominate by Ben H. Winters. It was recently featured as part of NPR's Crime in the City series: http://www.npr.org/2013/08/22/2138718...

I'm new so I'm not sure if you've done this book already.. My suggestion is

Great suggestion, Leslie! I've been meaning to grab that book off my shelf!!

That is not nice. She is only new.

What did I say????

Dude...?

You were being sarcastic because she forgot put in what she would nominate.

Grainne wrote: "You were being sarcastic because she forgot put in what she would nominate."

I was not being sarcastic. I really do have that book on my bookshelf and I really do want to read it.

Oh sorry:(

lol Grainne, that sometimes happens when we receive email notifications of postings; picture links do not show up in the emails, so it looks like things have been left blank.

It's always good to come to the thread discussion itself and see what is posted before replying, lol. All lessons in learning how Goodreads operates :-)

Oh! Is that what happened? Well, that explains a lot. I was getting confused.

I'd like to nominate "The Waking Dark"

Wow, it seems we are going to have aplenty to choose from this month LOL, all the nominations look very interesting!

The Great Gatsby

Wow, no nominations for a few days to loads!

I'm actually going to close nominations early because of the amount of books we already have.

Sorry if you missed out but don't worry, you'll get your chance next month :)

The poll to vote can be found here http://www.goodreads.com/poll/show/90...

Lots of good options!
