december read

[Stephen]

was thinking for decembers read to break away from a christmas book but maybe a book published in 2012 you wanted to read but never got round to it so you can finish off the year with a years good read , tell me what others feel december's theme should be to try and avoid xmas as had it 2 years on the trot

Sounds good to me

[Stephen]

if most agree then nominate a 2012 book you wanted to read but only books excluded if agree is unlikely as that was a group book earlier in year

Some ideas for December ??? The Kingmaker`s Daughter by Philippa Gregory , Life by Martina Cole or The Rose Petal Beach by Dorothy Koomson .....

[Stephen]

fine by me

just another idea here are the group still happy with me comig up with themes each month for reads or do they want a change for 2013

I'm quite happy with you coming up with themes because you come up with good ones. Is it hard though? If it is, then I think the group should put their thinking caps on to give you a break.

My december nomination is The Prisoner of Heaven, which I have still not got to despite buying it the same day it was released in the uk.

I'm happy with Steve coming up with suggestions; I totally lack imagination when it comes to themes etc but I don't want to dump on him. Maybe we should take turns?

[JackieB]

I'll nominate Mark Haddon's The Red House. Sorry, Goodreads won't let me link to titles at the moment, but as soon as it relents, I'll post a link.

Here's the link: The Red House: A Novel

happily come up with different themes for us to read books around :)

I'll nominate a book I am drawn to reading, but in a genre I don't usually touch - 'The Candle Man' by Alex Scarrow - published April 2012 - a Victorian thriller that seems to link the Titanic with Jack the Ripper!
