Nophoto-f-25x33 Thanks Fiona

message 30: by Elena (new)

1015470 Maybe you can add the month to the poll title.


message 29: by Fiona (new)

1356469 If you go to the polls section you can vote there.

http://www.goodreads.com/poll/show/25541...

it's poll # 18 because I can't make it a 'featured' poll.


message 28: by Nancy (new)

Nophoto-f-25x33 I vote for Remains of the Day. Not sure if we vote simply by comment here, or via another avenue.


message 27: by Fiona (new)

1356469 Emilee's been really busy, as has Kandice I think. But I've just realised as I've completely forgotten (I can barely remember polls for my own groups!) that I can put one up.

There you go, go and vote!

976884 hmm why isn't the poll up yet?

2153853 Is this thread even alive? October 25th has been and gone ...


message 22: by Judy (MPHM) (new)

2247636 Do you have a limit on page length? Genre? What are the guidelines for your monthly reads?


message 21: by Veronica (new)

2153853 Delurking ... I'd like to suggest A Suitable Boy. But it's very long (kind of War and Peace sized!)

1430273 Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton


message 19: by Fiona (new)

1356469 The Hansel and gretel one also sounds good. I'd vote for it too if my library had it... bah. I might see if I can ILL it one day...

Grotesque is already on my to-read list so it could easily be the one I vote for (however, so is the Hansel & Gretel one...) - but I think I'm more into some weird Japanese stuff right now :-)


message 17: by Fiona (new)

1356469 Aw thanks for the offer Fiona! But I think I should read the one I have and see if I like the author. I may come back to you on that though! ;)

Haven't read Out, but want to. I didn't know which one to get when choosing - Out or Grotesque. Evidently Out is supposed to be better... oh well.


message 14: by Donna (new)

1334924 I have been meaning to read OUT I own it and believe it or not it was recommended to me by Junot Diaz! (he came to our book club at work)

Fiona, have you read Out fits the bill of gruesome Japanese crime (perpetrated by regular people). Not my cup of tea but might be yours (our bookclub was very divided by it).

I will toss a nomination into the ring: Cloudstreet A Novel I love books by Tim Winton and haven't read this one yet.


message 12: by Fiona (new)

1356469 Yeah vote for Grotesque! I've been reading so much Historical fiction in October I want to move onto some gruesome Japanese crime!


message 11: by Christina Stind (new)

565777 There are actually several really good suggestions this month! I like both Grotesque and The true story of Hansel and Gretel and volume 12 of Whee of Time - but as much as I would like to read the new Wheel of Time, it will have to wait till I have read the first 11 in that series (I've finished 3 so far...). But the other two suggestions are so good that I will refrain from suggesting something else this month.

934927 I will open this thread in a few weeks. But thought I would get it up so you can be contemplating what book you would like to nominate to the group.
