Ok this is VERY hard to choose. I think this group is insanely good at nominating!

The maze runner is more of a Young Adult, and it's not bad, but it is not a book I want to read the rest of the parts. It's quite adventurous, but not very intriguing.Life after life seems very interesting, But I wouldn't mind Cinder as well.
I vote for "And the Mountains Echoed" by Khaled Husseni :) I have already pre-ordered my copy on Amazon. "The kite runner" and "A thousand splendid suns" had me hooked.
I've read The Maze Runner and I loved it! Now I'm going to check out the other books and make my final decision, I have a feeling it's going to be hard.

I do that too! :D
I do that too! :D
They all look good, but I've been dying to read Cinder for ages, which is a goodreads nomination. It also leads up to Scarlet which was released this year and will probably be a goodreads nomination as well!
This happens every time I need to vote. There are so many good nominations I'm not sure which to pick. There are two on the list that I am planning to read in June regardless of whether they win or not and others that I'd like to read eventually.....Decisions, decisions....

I'd like to read The Fifth Wave and The Repeat Year. Hoping to get them both read in June, which would be easier if one of them won. :)
Kristie and Karlee, I'm in the same situation, I've got some of the books on my TBR already, and I'm decided to read them anyway, later this year, and this time, as I promised earlier, I voted on The Repeat Year, but Life after Life and Cinder are on my TBR list, together with Maze Runner and The 5th Wave.

I also have The Maze Runner on my TBR and I'd like to read Me Before You, The Kitchen House, and maybe Life After Life as well. I hope to get to some of them eventually! I've already read Cinder. It was a good read. Definitely a YA book, but very good.
The Maze Runner is an awesome series! One of the first that I got hooked on via Goodreads :-).Me Before You has been sitting in my book box saying read me, hey don't ignore me, for the last month, lol. I've heard great things about it, and I already own it, so...
Then again I've heard wonderful things about the Kitchen House too....urghhhhhhh....decisions, lol
Good Gravy, there are so many goodies to choose from.
My TBR list is not heading in the direction I intended it to go :-)

lol Cathie. My TBR list just continues to get longer every month. The more I read, the faster it seems to grow!

I hear you Cathie, every day I add something new to mine, mainly due to recommendations from our group, there are so many good books that I would like to read, what helps me with my reading schedules, are buddy reads :), it's easier to follow some plan and make decisions about the order of reading
I try not to add everything I would like to read, but eventually they all seem to make their way onto my TBR list somehow.
I read The Kitchen House, and for those of you who liked The Help, and haven't read this book, I highly recommend it! It's a similar genre as The Help, but a bit more involved with characters in terms of heros & anti-heros~ also, good little sub-plots, and agendas throughout!
I will stick with what I nominated - And the Mountains Echoed. However I also have recently purchased Life After Life on my kindle and The Kitchen House. Me Before You I might like to read too.
Crap! All of these are good! I read Me Before You already and I highly recommend it - best book I've read in 2013, so far. So which one to choose? Hmmmm......
I'm going for Life After Life, which is on my TBR list already. Really looking forward to reading it, even if it's not chosen. Me Before You is on my TBR also. I just finished the Kindle free chapters (1st 70 pages) of the 5th Wave. It's written from the point of view of a 16-year old girl, and although the story is interesting and of universal appeal, it is clearly a YA book. Cinder is also a YA book. Question is, do we really need to do another YA books so soon? A little variety maybe?
I voted for Cinder but I want to read Life after life, me before you, The kitchen house, and the mountain echoed...
I voted for Life After Life. But I want to read so many of them! I actually just got the Maze Runner audio book from the library.

Lynn wrote: "Kristie - Which ones are you planning to read anyway?"Previous to voting for Life after Life, I was planning to read Cinder, and The 5th Wave already, so there is three more books to add to my "currently reading" list.
I went for The 5th Wave, I'm in the mood for some alien dystopia. However, I'm going to read (someday) Me before you and Life after life. My TBR list is growing too fast for me to keep up!

I chose Cinder myself. Sounds interesting and I am looking forward to reading it, even it if does not win.
Clearly down to 2 choices - Cinder and Life after Life so I recomend people change your vote to between the two. A vote on another book wont matter. It is like the presidential election in the U.S.

There are still 5 voting days and we have over 3000 members in the group so I'm not rushing to change my vote; I've seen things change around on the last days in polls on Goodreads and only 325 members have voted so far.

I can't remember what the top two were 48 hours ago but it wasn't the two up there now, so things can change!

They were same top two as now. But it would be cool to see all 3000 members vote. Maybe I will change my vote at the last minute depending on where my first choice falls in the polls. Hey if my second or third is doing better in the polls it is a better strategy to give them my vote.
Wow, 3000 votes, that would be cool! I didn't think Life After Life was in the top two at the beginning because I had not heard of it, but I could be wrong. I do remember it was behind by 30 votes yesterday and now they are tied!
Looked up all the choices (I haven't read any of those) and I found Life After Life the most attractive (at least for me). Cinder looks cool too, I'll probably read that after my choice :)
I've read Me Before You already. It's a story unlike anything else. A story that will make you think things through..I don't really know how to describe how good it is, except that I've started reading Jojo Moyes' books after reading Me Before You, and I've never been happier.
