Goodreads Choice Awards Book Club discussion

March is Oscar month this year and I'm looking for nominations for books that have been made into films. We will then read and watch both book and film during March and discuss the two (and most likely say the book is better ;) )

- When nominating please include both book AND film title.

- Please make sure to include book link or book cover link. This can be done by clicking on the 'add book / author' link above the comment box. If not possible (because you're using the mobile app), then make sure you inlcude both book title and author.
Your nomination will not count if not in either of these formats.

- Please refrain from nominating any book that has already been a group read or scheduled to read as part of the Goodreads Choice Award Book Club. These can be found at https://www.goodreads.com/group/books...

- Please do not nominate a second (or later) book in a series read. Your nomination will be not counted if you do.

- Only one nomination per person will be accepted.

- Nominations will close on Sunday 26th, 5pm GMT and will be followed by a poll.

I think I will go with City of Bones. The movie goes by the same name: The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones.



Trailer: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1538403/?...

I just noticed on the ebook deals thread that someone mentioned that this book is $2.99 on Amazon right now. Not sure if that's just US or UK, etc.

I would like to nominate Beautiful Creatures . The film goes by the same title. I have had this book for over a year now on my Kindle, it seems like a good opportunity to finally get to it :)

I would like to nominate Twelve Years a Slave which is nominated for an Oscar.

As, only one. Okay, then I nominate Water for Elephants and the movie with the same title.

Because its one of my all time favorite movies and because I've never read the book, Jurassic Park (film same name)

I would like to nominate The Perks of Being a Wallflower

I would like to nominate The Life of Pi by Jason Shaverin. My husband wants to watch The movie, but I won't let him till I read the book!

We're opposite Sandy! I won't read the book until I've seen the movie! I get too angry at things they've left out to actually enjoy the movie!

I am going to nominate: (movie title is The Diary of Anne Frank).

Which movie? There have been a few...

I'm nominating Lone Survivor by Marcus Luttrell and Patrick Robinson. It's in theaters now known as the Lone Survivor. Honorable and fabulous story.

This, to me, is one movie that didn't miss a beat. It did a very good job of following the story line very well. But I must say for me this book has one of the best endings - for me it really made the book, and I will say if you already know the end because you see the movie first - I believe it may take away from making the book so good -IMO

Just FYI.
Too bad we weren't doing this in December because the movies this year we could have added to this list are:
and

Movies to be released by March include

...And on my birthday, March 21st is the release of

Who says we won't be doing it again Sarah? :)

I nominate Dead Poets Society
movie same title

Aw man, I love that film! And I've never read the book.

Ha, ha! That is true! But, it so much fun for me to rip up the movie! (I'm not much of a movie/TV watcher and my husband loves, loves watching movies and TV)

I just get too irritated, Sandy. I remember getting really angry at the miniseries of after they left an ENTIRE character out!

Me too! I have only seen the movie also!

I would like to nominate 'The Help'. Both the book and the movie have the same name.

Well my nomination will be for - but I would also love and

Since it is Oscar month - I am thinking the Twelve Years a Slave may actually be a nomination for an Oscar?

I'd not heard of Winter's Tale before? Is the movie of the same name? I know 12 Years a Slave is nominated for an Oscar. But Lone Survivor? I've not heard of that movie either.

Sarah, please state what the film is for your book, so the nomination will count (mainly so I don't have to go searching ;) )

I would like Gone with the Wind book and movie same name

Sorry - the Lone Survivor is Emily's nomination in an above thread, message 13.

My nomination is Winter's Tale - same title for book and movie - but it comes out February - I think it is on Valentine's day. So if this doesn't work that is o.k. But major brain fart. I am not nominating this book. I have no desire to read this book. I don't know what I was thinking. My only desire is to see the movie and drool over Colin Farrell. Sorry.

Disregard my nomination

ha ha ha, ok Sarah :)

LOL Sarah!! I'm with you. ;)

Oh I really like that suggestion! Would love to read

I vote for Lone Survivor as well

(but I read the book and saw the movie The Help and LOVED both - you should read it!)

I think this is one of the few that I actually enjoyed the movie more than the book. Although both were good.

I loved both - I think it was a tie. It is so rare that I love both the book and the movie.

I second Twelve Years a Slave . The movie is really deserving of the Academy Award . The book is on my kindle .

Twelve years a slave

I do not like The Great Gatsby - but I loved the movie last year.

Poll is open and can be found at https://www.goodreads.com/poll/show/9...
