First, a shout-out to Lena for picking my last book read Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail. I hiked along with the author and loved this inspirational memoir. Thanks!

Tony, for you I choose a great classic read: Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë. The story surprised me and was way more compelling than I had expected. Hope you find it interesting too.

Now ready for my next great read. What's it to be?

Anu, sorry, but just TITLES for the alphabet criteria, no authors. So unfortunately your books for March and October don't count. (Jane Eyre is a title, not an author.)

Kyra, the Mrs. Christie book doesn't meet our well-read criteria of 50K ratings yet. Is there another book you would like to nominate instead?

I second The Time Traveler's Wife.

Kylie wrote: "I nominate Lord of the Flies (182 pages)"

Kylie, "Lord of the Flies" was read by the group in 2019, so it can be nominated in the Bookshelf Catch-up topic. Is there another classic book you would like to nominate instead?

LittleRed, "Master and Marguerita" was read by the group last year, so it can be nominated in the Bookshelf Catch-up topic. Is there another classic book you would like to nominate instead?

Andi wrote: "I nominate No No Boy by John Okada, 260 pages"

Sorry Andi, but "No No Boy" doesn't meet our well-read criteria of 50K ratings. Is there another book you would like to nominate instead?

I second Andromeda.
