[Sofia (Bookish Wanderess), Founder]

This is a discussion about your recommendations to be March BOTM :)

[Ashley]

I recommend Cloud Atlas!!! I just finished it, and it was incredible! I'd love to participate in discussion

[Jenny*=^.^=CrazyKatLady=^.^=*InMO]

I would like to read Cloud Atlas myself. I started it, had to put it down and would love to finish it!

[Patty]

Had broke horses

[Kristy]

I would like to read Awaken, that was recommended for February's BOTM.

[Patty]

That's supposed to read half broke horses!

[Allison]

how about or ? I've got those coming up on my shelf!

[Rachel]

Can anyone help? What was decided on for BOTM for February? Thanks

[Glenna]

Dinner with Anna Karenina by Gloria Goldreich. I have this book and haven't read it yet so thought I would add it to the BOTM list.

[Lillian]

I have two suggestions, if anyone else is interested of course. The Casual Vacancy by J.K. Rowling & Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin.

I'd recommend Looking for Alaska by John Green. I really want to read it.

[Victoria]

I vote Cloud Atlas too, just saw the movie previous the other day. I am a read the book before seeing the movie person.

[Edgar]

I just finished reading Eden and I would be remiss if I didn't nominate this book. I can't recommend it highly enough.

Here's my review: http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

That is one on my to be read list looks good, so would vote for this too.

This falls a little more into the self helpy/spiritual region but I would like to read May Cause Miracles: A 40-Day Guidebook of Subtle Shifts for Radical Change and Unlimited Happiness.

Annnnd as I write this I realize it probably won't work for a monthly book as it is 40 days. Whoops.

[Kristine]

Allison wrote: "how about or ? I've got those coming up on my shelf!"

I second your ideas.

[Patty]

The Wedding Dress

[Olivia]

The Darkest Minds. It's a new book that came out just last December and I think it would be great to read for everyone so we could all say we read it from the beginning too, because this book was just so insane and I was always kept on the edge that I don't see how this will evade movie rights in the future. It. Was. Amazing.

[Ariel]

imaginary girls looked pretty goodImaginary Girls by nova ren suma

[Courtney]

I would recommend Clockwork Princess that is coming out that month since it seams like a lot of the group is into YA and Fantasy most will probably be reading the latest in the series.

[Rachel]

I really want to read "Gone Girl" Gillian Flynn, have heard great things!

[amber]

Allison wrote: "how about the girl with a pearl earring or The Fault in Our Stars...but Looking for Alaska is also on my list so that one one would be nice too."

Girl With a Pearl Earring is really good.

[Zaira's Bookshelf]

I could recommend the Demon King by Cinda Williams Chima, great book, and I would love to read it again!

[Lillian]

Gone Girl has caught my eye every single time I'm at the local bookstore.

[Rameela (Star)]

Gone girl

[Kimi]

I would like to read Cloud Atlas.

[Candice]

I totally admit to looking up Cloud Atlas sibce I'd never heard of it. I would like to read it. Gone Girl also gets my vote. I've been waiting for my turn with it from the library for almost 2 months now

[Rianne]

I also want to read the Fault in Our Stars and Looking for Alaska, so they get my vote (if that's the idea of this dicussion)

[Cheryl]

I like both Cloud Atlas and Gone girl as well.

[Daphne]

At the top of my 'must read'-list are the Fault in Our Stars and also (but most people probably already read it) Divergent :)

[Jodi]

I loved Gone Girl. I couldn't stop reading. I have one of her other books on my kindle to read soon.

[Kelley]

I third Madman's Daughter!!

[Bridget]

I think Awaken or Cloud Atlas would be good! They are on my "to read" shelf.

[shakespeareandspice]

Cloud Atlas is a good choice. I also liked “Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children.”

[Leora]

I've been hearing good things about Cloud Atlas.

[David]

I would like to read Cloud Atlas as well. I've been meaning to get to that one.

[Kyle]

Could someone tell me what Book of the Month means exactly? Just a good book we're recommending for march?

[Wabomba]

I guess their are readers out their who would love this extreme truth on Afrika never told before

Check "The Great Conspiracy, The Black gods of Afrika" on http://www.amazon.com/dp/1468181297, http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1468181297, http://www.amazon.de/dp/1468181297, http://www.amazon.it/dp/1468181297, http://www.amazon.fr/dp/1468181297, http://www.amazon.es/dp/1468181297 or https://www.createspace.com/3765791

WHAT IS THE GREAT CONSPIRACY?

The Great Conspiracy is a short letter to the Afrikan child in a parabolic tone. It is a poetic riddle and in sum proverb. Is there remedy to the Afrikan problem? Can the Afrikan equation be solved? For a half a century since flag independence knocked on the Afrikan hut, the Afrikan political elite and comrade in cola have not been watching the Afrikan grass grow; instead as leaders upon whose shoulders, salvation of the Afrikan child from colonial pharaoh's slavery; read colonial culture, traditions, instrument of thought and in sum colonial gods duly lay as Moses and his blood brother Aaron were to Israelis while leading them from the yoke of bondage down Biblical Egypt to the promised land; have been to busy staying alive. How can we watch the Afrikan grass grow using a foreign eye? "Lest there be any fornicator or profane person amongst us Afrikan brothers who for one morsel of food sold his inheritance. For we all know Afrikan comrades that Esau did and afterwards, when he wanted to inherit the blessings later, he was rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he sought it diligently with tears" It is a social remedy which should be sought and or is found nearer home; from Afrikan own environment, culture and traditions. It cannot be external to us and it cannot be derived from a foreign alien environment because its tone will forever distort the Afrikan deed if it were derived from a foreign alien environment. This is because its spices will be foreign and not tied or derived from an Afrikan environment, traditions, beliefs, history and culture. LANGUAGE IS AN INSTRUMENT OF THE HUMAN THOUGHT. IT IS THE SOLE KNOWN INSTRUMENT OF IDEA FORMATION. PROVERBIAL WISDOM IS WISDOM OF CAUTION.

Book of the Month is just what it sounds like: the book we read as a group each month :) The Feb BOTM are Thirteen Reasons Why and Life of Pi, and this topic is where people have been recommending books we should read in March

[Amy]

I would like to read Cloud Atlas or Casual Vacancy. Both look interesting.

[Jaime]

I would like to vote for Gone Girl or The Fault in Our Stars. They both sound really good and I have been trying to read them for awhile now!

[Cecile]

My vote is for Gone Girl or The Casual Vacancy.

Thank you all for the recommendations, you have until february 15 to send more suggestions and then i will open the poll :)

[Katherine]

I second Cloud Atlas. I started it months ago but haven't gotten around to finishing it so I'd love some motivation.

[Dominique]

I like the idea of reading Game Of Thrones or Gone Girl.

[Jodi]

I have Game of Thrones on my kindle waiting for me,so I would be good for that one too.
