That's what it looks like to me, Kyle. A book that seems to be on multiple "to read" lists possibly due to the author/genre, rave reviews/publicity and/or a timely or uniquely interesting story; two are selected based on consensus, and then there will be a discussion thread for those titles :)

Gone Girl sounds like a good idea to me:)

Thirteen Reasons Why and the life of Pi

I think that Divergent would be a good one but Cloud Atlas looks very interesting.

[Sofia (Bookish Wanderess), Founder]

Tha Casual Vacancy and Gone Girl sound good to me :)

[Emily]

I've almost finished Marked, the first of the House of Night series, I really enjoyed it and I would reccommend it to vampire lovers who like a twist on the classic vampire.

[Luke]

GAME OF THRONES! no offense to John Green but the fault in our stars was by far my least favorite of all his books

[Luke]

How about

The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. Just read this and I absolutely loved it. A creative idea and a moving plot.

[Cheryl]

I would like to suggest "you and me against the world" the creepers saga. book two is getting ready to come out so I want to reread book one before starting book two.

[Angelica]

so uhh it seems like cloud atlas and gone girl might win but i would like to suggest Impulse by Ellen Hopkins or perhaps even The Host by Stephanie Meyers

[Kristie, Moderator (Retired)]

My vote would be for Gone Girl or Casual Vacancy too. Although, I'm reading Divergent now, so I think that would be great, if everyone else hasn't read it already. I've also heard great things about The Light Between Oceans.

When will the poll be for March BOTM?

[Mads]

I would suggest Gone Girl too! A lot of people have been recommending that book to me and it looks interesting! And also The Book Thief, it seems everyone wants to read that book these days!

[Mel]

I heard or read two negative reviews about "Casual Vacancy" (from New Yorker and Die ZEIT) which led me to decide that I do not want to read it, although I was very much interested in Rowling's first adult book in the first place.
Instead, I strongly recommend "The Secret Keeper" by Kate Morton. I read it a few weeks ago and was really excited. It's a story about a family secret which is solved by playing both in our time and during the second World War. It was amazing how everything was revealed; the book had a really surprising twist in the end.
The Secret Keeper

[Anna]

I think The Perks of Being a Wallflower would be great, since the group is named after it! ^^

[Amelle]

Can I suggest A Tale Of Red Riding, Rise of the Alpha Huntress?? I love this book soooo much. I just can't stop talking about it. Sorry if I am being obnoxious!

Well. I'm gonna have to recommend the first book in a series of 10 by Steven Erikson. One of my favorite authors. It's called "Gardens of the Moon".

My reasons are threefold.

1. These days really popular and well known books are generally not too advanced. Something like "Twilight" is written at pretty much a 9th grade level, or somewhere around there. Which is fine. Its a decent series for its genre and target demographic. However, books can get SO much better. I kind of like to "raise the bar" every time somebody asks me for a recommendation. Since I'm arrogant. ;) Steven Erikson's novels are extremely intricate, without being painfully confusing. Highly detailed, without being boring. Also EXTREMELY entertaining, without losing the feeling of a "serious" bit of fiction.

2. I LOVE CANADA! ^_^ He's a Canadian author.

3. Steven Erikson, in my opinion, gets no where NEAR the acclaim he deserves.

This is however a public group with a wide range of persons at various levels of reading proficiency and comprehension. Having said that I feel it's only fair to say that this book and the entire series is pretty advanced. So someone who thought a series like "Twilight" was really well written and is the best book EVER would probably not even be able to finish it.

STILL. I recommend it. ^_^ That is all. My rant is complete. =D

[Cara]

Casual Vacancy. Although I have heard, ixed reviews from friends. Still want to see for myself, though.

[Jennifer]

I would like to read Cloud Atlas or The Casual Vacancy.

[[deleted user]]

Totally up for The Casual Vacancy or Game of Thrones.

[Kyle]

Ya. A song of ice and fire has been a great series forevers. Its too bad it took a tv show to make it popular. I could go for that as BotM.

[Bianica]

Just started Cinder. So far it's pretty good. I think that would be another great choice. It was one of the nominations for the Goodreads Choice awards too.
