The Perks Of Being A Book Addict discussion

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

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.

And the Mountains Echoed by Khaled Hosseini

My first nomination ever! I'm going to nominate

It sounds like very intriguing, in part:
"Brutally attacked by one god and unfairly cursed by another she faithfully served, Medusa has spent the last two thousand years living out her punishment on an enchanted isle in the Aegean Sea. A far cry from the monster legends depict, she’s spent her time educating herself, gardening, and desperately trying to frighten away adventure seekers who occasionally end up, much to her dismay, as statues when they manage to catch her off guard. As time marches on without her, Medusa wishes for nothing more than to be given a second chance at a life stolen away at far too young an age."

it's a YA book, but it's really good!
