Around the Year in 52 Books discussion

Update: suggestions are now closed and you can vote in the poll to choose our June Book of the Month.

The theme for the June Book of the Month is "a book with a number in the title or on the cover.”

We will be using challenge prompts (in this case, no. 22) for Book of the Month so members can participate without have to add side-reads to their plans. Of course, you don't have to use the chosen book for week 22.

For those new to the group, a brief intro to the book of the month may be found here.

Rules:
- One suggestion per user
- A book will enter the poll once someone "seconds" the book
- Seconding a book counts as your suggestion
- Suggestions will remain open for five days or as soon as 5-6 books have been seconded.

Poll entries:
- Nine Perfect Strangers by Liane Moriarty
- Daisy Jones & The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid
- 11/22/63 by Stephen King
- In The Shadow of 10,000 Hills by Jennifer Haupt
- Year One by Nora Roberts
- Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher

Suggestions available to be seconded:
- One Person, No Vote: How Voter Suppression Is Destroying Our Democracy by Carol Anderson
- 90 Days of Different by Eric Walters
- 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami
- Beacon 23 by Hugh Howey
- Catch-22 by Joseph Heller
- On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century by Timothy Snyder
- Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo

I used Daisy Jones & The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid for this prompt. I won't be reading along this month since I already finished that prompt but wanted to suggest it here for y'all since I loved it! Sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll fun :)

I just finished and was blown away by One Person, No Vote: How Voter Suppression Is Destroying Our Democracy. Really important information.

May I suggest/recommend: 11/22/63 by Stephen King ?

Nine Perfect Strangers by Liane Moriarty

90 Days of Different by Eric Walters

On the last day of high school, Sophie's boyfriend breaks up with her. It turns out he thinks she is too predictable, too responsible, too mature...too boring.
When Sophie turns to her best friend, Ella, for comfort and reassurance, Ella just confirms what her boyfriend has said. And that hurts even more.
Then Ella comes up with a plan to help Sophie find her wilder side before college. In the ninety days between the end of high school and the start of university, she is going to arrange for Sophie to do amazing, new, different and sometimes scary things. Sophie has to agree to everything no matter what. And she has to share her adventures through social media.
Can ninety days of different create a different life? Can stepping outside your comfort zone help you find yourself?

Second Nine Perfect Strangers

1Q84 by Murakami combines his usual magical realism with a ruthless assassin and a love story.

I'll second Daisy Jones and the Six :)

I was thinking about suggesting this so will go ahead and second it.

A few have already been mentioned that are on my TBR but I have to nominate my top choice for this prompt which is In The Shadow of 10,000 Hills.

I'm going to read '13 Reasons Why' By Jay Asher for this one. I don't read the books in order though I'm afraid just in the order my reserves come through the library! Love this group

I am planning to read Year One for this challenge so I may as well offer it as a suggestion :)

Also seconding "Daisy Jones and the Six"!

I'd like to suggest Beacon 23 by Hugh Howey.

I second In the Sahdow of 10,000 Hills

I second Year One by Nora Roberts.

What about Catch-22-- read it before the George Clooney series comes out!

On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century

I vote “Six of Crows.”

I read this earlier this year and really enjoyed it! Long though.

I second 13 Reasons Why

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. That’s six seconded suggestions so nominations are now closed.

You can now vote in the poll to choose which of these books will be our June Book of the Month.
