The Perks Of Being A Book Addict discussion

Happy New Year everyone!

It is time to nominate books you would like to read in February!

Please nominate only ONE book. If more than one book is nominated, only the first book you nominate will be included.

Please do not nominate books that have already been read as a BOTM. If a book is nominated that we have already read, it will not be included in the poll. The books we have already read can be found here: https://www.goodreads.com/group/books...

Please do not nominate books that are the second or later in a series. Although these can be fun to read and discuss, it leaves out many of our book club members. These will not be included in the poll. Instead, if your book is the second or later part of a series, suggest it as a buddy read. You can select the date and still read as a group and discuss without a poll. All you need is one person that would like to read it with you. You can make suggestions here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Please do not use this thread for author self-promotion. This is a nomination thread for for books that you would like to read as a member of the group. If you wrote the book, you have already read it. Self-promotions will not be included in the poll. Please feel free to promote your work here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Any genre is allowable for nomination, EXCEPT erotica. We are an all ages club and Goodreads does not allow us to read erotica as a group. Because we do not limit our membership, they could shut the group down. Please make any erotica nominations in an adult only group.

Additional tips - Please use a book link, if possible. If it's not possible, please include the author's name. I want to make sure I include the correct books! You can add a synopsis from the books Goodread's page, if you like, but it is not necessary.

Directions to add a book link:

This can only be done when online and not when using an app.

When typing in the text box, on top of the box there is a link that says "add book/author". Click on that and a new box will appear. Type your book name in the space provided and click on "search". When you see your book, click the "add" button to the right of it.

To add a link that just has the book name, you can click "link" at the bottom of the "add book/author" box. The link is the automatic setting. To add a book cover, click on "cover" at the bottom of the box.

Start nominating!!

I've read it and it is fantastic. It's definitely a book that warrants rereading and I'd love to discuss it with other readers.

Do you know who the author is? There are actually several books with that same title. (Surprised me. It seems like it would be a very unique title.)

The Thirteenth Tale

The Language of Flowers by Vanessa Diffenbaugh.

I second that!

I nominate Paper Towns by John Green.

I cannot link the book, I'm on mobile sorry c:

No worries! As long as I know what book it is, I can add it to the poll. :)


Here you go, Bianca!

I second The Language of flowers(seems very interesting)

Definitely nominating this book. Such a surprisingly wonderful read!
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

Flowers for Algernon it's older but I think it's a classic!

by Victoria Schwab
(I really been wanting to read Bone Season too)

There's no way to link books on mobile and sadly my computer is in the shop. :(
Anyways, I'd like to nominate Attachments by Rainbow Rowell if it'd still count!

Attachments I added the link for you.

Joanie- Yes, it would still count.

Shawna - Thank you for posting the link.

Look like great nominations so far, everyone!

I will nominate The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank since I already have a copy that I've meaning to read.

Thanks Shawna!

I nominate .

Darius & Twig by Walter Dean Myers

@Kristie: Can you do a list of nominations at the bottom of the thread after where you put "Star nominating!"? I think it's bit confusing this way.

Definitely! I was just thinking that I should have saved a message at the beginning for that. I will put it in the first message. :)

There is now a list of nominations at the bottom of the first post. I will be updating it as we go, but don't worry if your book doesn't show up immediately. I can only add the links when I'm at my computer.

Cindarella - I haven't added your nomination yet because I wasn't certain which book it was. I'm guessing it's this one: The Weight of Silence, but there's a couple other books with the same title. Please let me know which one it is.

Yes it's that one :) I couldn't link it because I am on my phone :) Thanks :)

Excellent! No worries about the link. Thanks for confirming. :)

@Kristie: Thanks. Will you please continue doing this of the next, few months?

I nominate "Cloud Atlas", but some others books that members already mentioned seem great too, thanks for running this contest :) !

Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor, just finished it and have decided that it's my favorite book - ever!

Hi Terri - We just read Daughter of Smoke and Bone in October. If you'd like to add to the discussion, the thread is here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Sorry, but we can only nominate the first book in a series or stand alone novels. If you'd like to nominate a second (or later) book in a series, you can suggest it as a buddy read and if others want to read it you can set up a thread in the buddy read folder. LInk to suggestions is here:
