440859 From now on I will start the nomination process near the beginning of the month. It gives leaders a chance to prepare and others a chance to get those reservations in at the library :P

Nominate a theme/genre for our March read.

One nomination per person

**There must be 6 months between repeating a theme i.e. the themes/genres - dystopian literature, historical fiction, new writers and banned/controversial books cannot be nominated**

You can make a genre more specific. E.g. English historical fiction would be fine.

2 days to nominate!

1662951 For all the love it's been receiving since, I nominate The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett

440859 We need a theme first Jzhunagev! You'll have to think of a theme the book will fit under if you want to nominate it.

1199525 How about "Journeys", whether literal travelogues, or more metaphorical journeys from one lifestyle/stage of life or whatever to another?

440859 I'm feeling childish so....

Children's Books

How about 'coming of age' there are many books that would fall under that theme.

1847457 How about

Books with an element of the supernatural

?


message 9: by Cecily (new)

1199525 Hmm, but we've just read Peony and/or Monsters. Certainly Peony has elements of the supernatural and doesn't Monsters too?


message 10: by Stephanie (new)

1847457 True... maybe they have whetted my appetite for the supernatural! Or maybe I'm just not feeling very original this morning.

OK - how about....

books set in wartime? (any war)

1693966 How about...classic writers from the 18-19th century. I know...it's broad, but I've been in a classics stage lately


message 12: by deleted member (new)

I like that idea, reading a book from a particular time period.


message 13: by Heather (new)

1693966 Ya, not necessarily set in the time period, but actually written in the time period.
