Shut Up & Read discussion

Suggestions for March BotM!

Please leave no more than two books suggestions. One book can be any genre, the other should have something to do with Fae or Faries - in honor of St. Patrick's Day (leprechauns) :D

If you agree with someone else's selection just say I second this selection and then link the book name.

If nominating a book in a series, only nominate the 1st book in the series (unless we've already group read the 1st book).

Voting poll will be put up at the end of February.
Thanks!!

Let me suggest by Robert J. Sawyer. It's the first in a trilogy (all 3 books are in print), and some of the best science fiction I've read in a long time. It's not so technical that it'll lose the casual reader, and all the main characters are people I'd consider to be friends. You feel good after reading each of the books.

Hi;
I have a question: How do you nominate a book? on what basis? and can any one suggest books?
thanks :)

Anyone can suggest books. You just put which book you think we should read as a group here in this thread. At the end of the month the top 6 or 8 books (the ones with the most votes here) will be put into a poll and voted on by everyone.

so, if I may suggest a book it will be
by Louisa May Alcott. it's a nice story, didn't read it yet but I wanted to for so long.
(I know it's kinda children story :P)

I like to suggestMagic Bites by Ilona Andrews

I also like to suggest Not Your Ordinary Faerie Taleby Christine Warren

I am nominating The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater. I just bought it and have heard really good things about it. I really want a book to be the BOTM that I haven't read yet so I can experience it with everyone else. (I think Divergent might win for February and I loved that book but read it just a few months ago)

I second . Good choice Marisol! I bought it a couple of months ago because I heard it was good and haven't read it yet :)

I also nominate

I didn't think this was out until May 1st..I'm so looking forward to it

Yep, Insurgent doesn't come out until May.

I loved The City of Bones. I was drawn to them actually because all of the covers of the hardback books were shiny. I know that sounds silly but I kept feeling myself drawn to the cover art. I never read the blurb for the book, just bought City of Bones on a whim and it was a really really great book. I loved it so much I went and bought the rest of the series: City of Ashes, City of Glass. City of Fallen Angels, City of Lost Souls and City of Heavenly Fire. Defiantly a good pick however..


I really want The Scorpio Races. I have it on my coffee table and I keep reading one or two lines at a time of the Prologue. I don't know if I can wait much longer. :)

Covers are what usually draws me to books first, too :)

LOL! OOps, that's not the one I meant to post! ARGH!!!
I nominate

I also nominate

I second Marisol's pick. The Scorpio Races book sounds like something completely out of the ordinary of what I would usually choose to read. Sounds like it could be very promising!

I also nominate The Faerie Ring by Kiki Hamilton and Faery Tales & Nightmares by Melissa Marr.

Is there a list of past BOTM's somewhere? As a new member, I wouldn't want to recommend something that you guys just read a few months ago or a year ago or something.

In the top right corner of the page there's a link called "bookshelf." That has all of the past books we've read as a group :)

I agree with Marisol's pick as well! The Scorpio Races will be fun to read as a group! :-)

I've been wanting to read for a while, so I nominate that.

I recommend it's about the fae and I loved it

I nominate either or
