Kara (karaayako) | 3984 comments November's theme is historical fiction. Nominate a work historical fiction for November's group read.

Please nominate only one theme-appropriate book. You can second someone else's nomination, but that will count as your own.

This thread will close on October 11th. Ten books will be chosen for the poll. If more than ten books are nominated, we'll choose the ten most nominated. If there is a tie to get into the top ten, we'll go by their Goodreads average rating.

Was this book made into a movie? The plot seems familiar...

I read The Winter Sea and loved it! She's a great author!

Carrie (carrie_s) | 130 comments I nominate The Feast of All Saints, by Anne Rice. This one has been on my To-Read list for a while, and it seems fitting to read a "feast" book during the month of November!

The Feast of All Saints by Anne Rice

I thought the answer was no, then I looked around, and it turns out that it was. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0396171/

I'd had no idea!

Kelsi (essentiallybooked) | 751 comments That movie is on Netflix/Amazon Instant Video too! I didn't know there was a book, so I guess I'm going to be rooting for two books to win.


message 15: by Lauren (new)

Lauren (estrangeira) the movie is AWESOME. I super recommend it and would looouuuve to read the book, heard great things about it.
