Buddy Reads discussion

Nominate the books you'd like to (and you actually would) Sprint read with us in August.

Nominate 3 and second all that you are willing to read with us.

Books that belong to the series won't be added.

The 7 books which will be seconded the most will be selected for the Sprint! Please note that books popular in previous polls (but not selected) have been automatically renominated.

Limit: Max 300 pages and only standalones.

Nominations will end 15 days before we start the sprint. The Sprint will be from ** to ** August according to the polls. Nominations will end on 15th July.

P.S. Do mention the author's name or give a link to the book and check the Bookshelf for books already read. You can search the book in the search bar provided within this link. If the book appears faded in the search results, it has been read by the group.

Nominate: It means you offer a book not already mentioned.
Second: This means you vote for a book already nominated by another person.

Hi Sara, I'm sorry but for the sprints you can nominate 3 books that are standalones only and that are less than 300 pages each

You can nominate any kind of book in the Buddy Reads thread here, https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
But you can only nominate 1 book.

I'm sorry Nita, but we have already read The Catcher in the Rye and The Great Gatsby in previous sprints, please check the Group's Bookshelf if unsure what we have read. The link is found on the first comment :)
