I've chosen Felicia Day's autobiography/memoir, which falls under Humour. I'm really looking forward to it - I loved her series The Guild, and she's fantastic in Supernatural. Plus, I play the violin and am a gamer too. :)

I'm choosing Circling the Sun. I saw it at the library a few weeks ago and thought it looked interesting.
I've chosen My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry by Fredrik Backman, which is nominated in the category Fiction. I read one of his other books this year and absolutely loved it, so this next book was already on my tbr-list for next year!
I initially had no idea as there are so many books that have been nominated that I would love to read but I've also gone with Felicia Day's book! I adore her in Supernatural and I really love the work she does so I'm excited to read more about her!
I went with Circling the Sun because I have already read, AND ADORED, Furiously Happy: A Funny Book About Horrible Things. I cannot recommend that book enough, along with her first, Let's Pretend This Never Happened: A Mostly True Memoir
I'm going to read The Ice Twins - not my usual type of book!!

Or listen to the audio book the author does a great job of reading her own book.
I need to vote twice in this poll. I have two books in mind for this week. Letters to the Lost: A Novel by Iona Grey which is nominated in the Historical Fiction category and The Night Sister by Jennifer McMahon which is nominated in the Horror category.
I am planning to read a coming-of-age book that I hadn't heard anything about until the voting started: The Secret Wisdom of the Earth by Christopher Scotten:
Hi Ive just joined this group so I am a bit behind with it being week 3 but I hope to catch up with the other 2 weeks at some point.For week 3 I have chosen The Ice Twins by SK Tremayne. I had already started it at the beginning of the week and was pleased to see it fit in with this weeks theme. Hope to finish by Saturday and hopefully be able to start on week 1.
Samantha.
Samantha, the challenge will start on January 2016, for the moment we are just planning our books ;)

Youre a little early girly - challenge starts in 2016 :)
I'm planning on reading all of the goodreads winners, but will likely read the mystery one first (assuming King doesnt win).
I usually can't decide which recent fiction book is good, so I am going with NeuroTribes: The Legacy of Autism and The Future of Neurodiversity or Gut: The Inside Story of Our Body's Most Underrated Organ. Both are an interest in my family.
I will go with Elon Musk: Inventing the Future, Goodreads choice awards nominee in Science and Technology category
I chose Did You Ever Have a Family as it was on the initial list but it has now gone, presumably knocked out in the previous round! I hope it is still eligible for Book #3 or do I need to change it?
Yes Lisa, you can use all the nominated books (I think they will all appear again when the last votes are done).
I've chosen The Fold (sci-fi), but I'm also reading You're Never Weird on the Internet and My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry
I picked Sarah MacLean, romance, since I have so many non-fiction books on the list that I need to sandwich with lighter reading.
I chose A Little Life. Based on reviews, it's a little dark but I could have guess that from the cover! Looking forward to it!
I'll be reading "Why Not me?" by Mindy Kaling. It seems funny and light and a few of my other choices surrounding that week are heavier so I thought I'd try to lighten it up a bit.
Just had to change my vote as I shuffled the memoirs that I'm planning to read around to different categories. For week 3 I shall be reading 'Modern Romance' which won for non-fiction, 'You're Never Weird On The Internet' is now down for my official memoir/autobiography topic, and 'Why Not Me' is now down for a book whose character is in a profession that interests me (this definitely still counts as far as I'm concerned).

I chose Beneath the Surface: Killer Whales, SeaWorld, and the Truth Beyond Blackfish. This is a topic I am very interested in, and I have gone up to Shedd Aquarium in Chicago with a group of people protesting their marine mammal show.
I chose The Heart Goes Last, Margaret Atwood's new book, which was nominated for Science Fiction.
I chose The Girl on the Train, as I have read about it. Since I read on a Kindle, I will put it on hold at my library and read it when I can get it.
