Just when you thought it was safe to go on a hayride or enter a corn maze.......he's back!

It's the Return of the Living Clown Corn!

For October's read, Clown Corn wants books featuring PLACES scary clowns or popcorn might be - CIRCUSES, CARNIVALS, AMUSEMENT PARKS, maybe even BIRTHDAY PARTIES, or MOVIE THEATERS.
Clown Corn also only wants NEW or HIDDEN GEM books that we haven't read before.
So give this buttery guy your best stories that take place at the circus, carnival, amusement park, movie theater, or even birthday parties.
description

*As always, AUTHORS and PUBLISHERS may NOT nominate their own books.
*Books that were previous group reads are NOT eligible. Full list can be found here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
*Books that receive the most noms/+1s have a better chance of making the final poll.
*You may nominate as many books as you want, BUT it's best to limit nominations and +1s to the 2 or 3 you MOST want to read to increase their chance of making the final poll.

message 43: by Daniel (new)

Daniel Nobles | 23 comments Since I read a lot of ARC’s, do I have to wait until they come out to post as read? Some don’t show up as options on goodreads, like Stephen Jenkins.


message 44: by Alan (new)

Alan | 7654 comments Mod
If books are only in ARC format and haven't been released they're not eligible for group reads since they're not available to purchase or borrow by everyone.
