Kristie | 5928 comments It is time to nominate books you would like to read in May!


Rules:
➙ Please nominate only ONE book.
➙ Books do not need to be seconded.
➙ Do not nominate books that have already been read as a BOTM.
➙ Do not nominate books that are the second or later in a series.
➙ Do not use this thread for author self-promotion.
➙ No erotica.

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.

Equine Dragon | 83 comments Oops. My bad, I get it now. So let me start over here. I wish to nominate The Book Thief by Markus Zusak there, a nominated book not a part of a series or erotica. I thought we could only pick from the list. (Blushing)

Kristie | 5928 comments No worries, Rachel. You're not the first to do that. :) I'm trying to make the rules part more "user friendly", but it's a work in progress. We have already read The Book Thief as a group. Would you like to try one more time?
