Kaseadillla wrote: "Second invisible castle"Not sure which book you are seconding. Is it "Invisible Man" or "We Have Always Lived in the Castle", or both?
I'll be diving into this one too. It certainly is "wordy". I have a library book now, but have been scouring the thrift shops for a used version to keep. Looking forward to the discussion!
I second Astrophysics.

Kimberly, this group does not have that stipulation. Any book can be nominated.
Quinty (Taylor's Version) wrote: "I second Winnie the Pooh.I nominate Het Achterhuis by Anne Frank (known in English as The Diary of a Young Girl)"
Quinty, Anne Frank's Diary has already been read by this group, so could be nominated in the Catch-Up topic. Is there another classic you would like to nominate instead?
Monte wrote: "I will nominate "the book thief""Monte, this book is on our exclusion list (message 2) because it has been re-read in the last 12 months. Is there another book you would like to nominate instead?
I second A Brief History of Time.
Andi wrote: "I nominate A Briefer History in Time by Stephen Hawking, 272 pages, last read 2/2018"Andi, our bookshelf title is actually A Brief History of Time. I assume you meant this one?
