Thanks Winter.

i nominate The Fault in Our Stars

I nominate Outlander by Diana Gabaldon (the first book in the series) since the whole series has been brought to the screen by starz ...

OK, I vote for a Wrinkle in Time as well. While I wouldn't mind reading Alias Grace, I have watched the first episode of the series and am not sure if I can stick with it. I do not find it as riveting as the Hulu adaptation of The Handmaiden's Tale.

stick with Alias Grace the show, I promise it will start to keep your attention in an ep or so

I would like to nominate The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky!

It was made into a movie several years ago.

I support The Zookeeper's Wife as well.

I loved this book so much but since I can vote for only one I decided to go for one I still want to read.

I hope it hasn't been done before, I wasn't able to find the list of previous group reads, so I apologize if this is an oldie.

I am interested in reading Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West by Gregory Maguire. The book has had a Broadway adaptation that I saw with my Mom and Grandma and I just think it would be interesting to read the book, especially with the new movie adaptation planned for 2019. Again, sorry if it's been done!

The list is at the top of the page on the right side under bookshelf. I think you are fine, I didn't see Wicked listed.

I'd like to second nominate Wonder. Looks really good

I second Wicked!

I'm going to nominate something on the lighter side : The Princess Bride

It is pretty inexpensive on Amazon $4.49 electronic edition, $4.99 PP.

I would like to nominate The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah
It was Goodreads Choice winner in 2015, has a whopping 4.5 star rating, and is set to be made a movie next year ^.^

I would like to second "A wrinkle in time"

Unfortunately we have read it already. Would you like to nominate another? Also please state a connection to the theme: Page to Screen (any connection) :)

I'm going to second The Nightingale, it was a great book!

I would like to nominate The Zookeeper's Wife.

I'll pass on nominating anything else for now. Thank-you.

I'll third The Alienist

Fourth

Not sure of the number but I will second, third, The Princess Bride.

If you would like to do a buddy read with me, I would be good with that!

I'm closing and posting poll now. I suddenly discovered it's 29th already. These last days has flown apparently!

https://www.goodreads.com/poll/show/1...

Here it is! A great selection for the month. Some of you are probably wondering why The Zookeeper's Wife isn't there. It was seconded, so often it would be. But this month we had so many nomination and secondings. There were 11 seconded books which gets to go first. Only ten in poll though and it was the lowest ranked so it missed the poll.

Thanks for lots of nominations this month. Keep your eyes up for next nomination thread. I post it the 1st.
