I'm in the mood for something funny and Molly Harper has never disappointed me on that matter. I basically laughed out loud with every book I read from her that's why I nominate Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs
.

[Cathie]

I'll nominate Wool

[Jojo]

I would like the nominate The Virgin Cure , I loved The Birth House and hopefully The Virgin Cure will be just as good :)

[Donna]

I'd like to nominate The Shoemaker's Wife. It's a wonderfully romantic and sensory rich story that starts in the hills of Italy, continues in the turn of the century immigrant experience of New York, following a family's touching and inspiring story. A book to get lost in!

[Lynn, Moderator]

Thanks for the suggestion Donna, sounds interesting.
Next time don't forget to include your nomination with the book link or book cover links :)
Like this The Shoemaker's Wife or

I assume this is the one you meant?

I totally agree with this book -- loved it and like anything Trigiani writes!!

[Lynn, Moderator]

Anyone else like to nominate?

[Ayesha]

May I nominate Good Omens? I've been wanting to read that...

[Lynn, Moderator]

Thank you Ayesha, your nomination along with the others will go into a poll at the end of the month.

[Ayesha]

All right! Thanks. :)

[Narmeen]

i would like to nominate .

[Lynn, Moderator]

Thanks Narmeen.

All these nominations are books that I've not read, I'm not sure if this is a good thing (lot's of lovely recommendations) or a bad thing! (more books that could be added to my TBR pile!)

[Celi]

Hi, I would like to nominate Sarah's Key. I have heard this is a wonderful book!

[Jojo]

Celi, I love that book! if it wins I would happily read it again....or rather unhappily as it's not a 'happy' book!

[Liz]

Everyone please remember to check the 2013 Calendar of Monthly Reads http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1... in the Monthly Awards Reading Folder and check the Calendar of Series Reads for the year http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1... in the Award Winning Series Challenges folder.

The Fault in Our Stars is one of our Books of the Month for May.

[Lynn, Moderator]

Fault in Our Stars wasn't a nomination Cathie; we were just discussing the author of the nominated book called Looking for Alaska which is the same as The Fault in Our Stars :)

[Patty]

Are there other "calendars" so I can bookmark them and check in every so often. I need to reserve books in advance of the discussion (of course), but sometimes it's a wait to borrow a title from the library; in addition, I'm a slow reader ... ;o)

[Cathie]

They are the only 2 claendars for this group that I am aware of Liz :-)

I nominate The Demon King by Cinda Williams Chima

[Obožavatelj]

I nominate Dreaming by Barbara Wood

[Jessica]

Le Sigh. I suppose it's time for me to read the 2nd Harry Potter book since I've only ever read the 1rst one. Here's my nomination:

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

Why Le Sigh? The Harry Potter books are amazing!

[Jessica]

Because while I really do want to read them and see what the fuss is about, I feel obligated to automatically love them on sight and unread lest I get deluged with the onslaught of the million different ways that these books are amazing.

BUT, I want to read them before my resentment of all the pressure pushes me into an arbitrary resistance...

[Lynn, Moderator]

Ah yes, understandable. Of course there are many people out there who don't rate them at all, which of course you may be one of them :)

[Kaustubh]

I nominate The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable

[Lynn, Moderator]

I'm really pleased to see so many nominate. I may be not so pleased when I have to vote on the poll! :)

[Kristie, Moderator]

I'd like to nominate Cinder. It was nominated for a goodreads choice award and it's the first in a series (the second book just came out), so there would be no need to do additional reading in order to catch up to the series.
