[Stephanie]

I suggest Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire
The China Garden by Liz Berry

[Kenna]

I'd like to vote for Insurgent.

[Karen]

I love A Discovery of Witches and just finishe the second in the series Shadow of Night. I'm currently reading The End of Your Life Book Club and would highly recommend it as well. One of the great things about this book is that I'm getting a lot of new books to be put on my to be read list.

[Darrian]

I love this group but we always seem to read books I've already read. Everlost by Neal Shusterman is a phenomenal book. I read Unwind too but Everlost is far better. A book I just started reading is Shatter Me by Kasie West and IT'S SIMPLY BRILLIANT! I'm casting my vote for Everlost and Shatter Me.

[Michael]

I have Ready Player One as a book I would like to do soon.

[Alicia]

the casual vacancy and insurgent! :)

[Diann]

Hi everyone, I'm new here, but I would like to toss out my new book, A Faded Cottage, a South Carolina love story.

[Jon]

I think that for a general group like this one we should stick to just the first book in a series for our main read. That way new members could join the reading without having to catch up, especially with longer series. Many new members join every day.
Of course, we could alwaysl open discussions for those who want to continue with a series.

[Kristie, Moderator (Retired)]

I disagree. There are a lot of series out there and not everyone has time to finish a series outside of the book club if they get interested in it on here. I think if everyone votes on a second in a series, then it should be as equal an option as the first in a series. We have two books every month and no one is required to read them both (or even one of them), so I don't think it matters if a book is the first in a series or not. We'll never all have read the same books anyway. Also, if someone hasn't read the first book in a series, they can always vote for a different option.

[Gina]

Graceling
The Host
Looking for alaska
Legend

[Becky]

I'd like to suggest:

Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn
Me Before You by Jojo Moyes
City of Bones by Cassandra Clare

[Brittany]

I think it might be good to broaden everyone's tastes so why doesn't everyone suggest a book that is not so well known? Something new from a new author perhaps? I mean as readers if we never try anyone who isn't mainstream those authors are not going to flourish and we are going to lose out on a book to read between the big releases. Everyone starts at the same place so why not try the new?

[Angelica]

I would like to suggest Impulse by Ellen Hopkins or really anything by her she's an amazing writer and her writing not only changed her life it changed others as well so yeah haha I'll keep suggesting books by her until it happens so if it doesn't happen this month look out for this suggestion again next month!! oh and here's a link to impulse http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/27...

[Dustin]

On a side note would it be possible to make thread folders for each new book so different discussion topics can be added to the books.

For example: I really want to start a topic about what faction people would join if they were in the society of Divergent

[Annie]

Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn

[fio]

Looking For Alaska by John Green or Geek Girl by Holly Smale

[Jacky]

[Francesca]

Can we read Anna and the French Kiss? This book is honestly so cute, I just can't even.

[Catherine]

The Catcher in the Rye or maybe Insurgent

[Jon]

@Kristie,
OK, I agree that if it wins the vote then it should be picked. That said, how about we reserve one of the two reads for a first/stand alone?
I've looked at many groups and ended up not joining them because all their current reads were in the middle of a series (even when they had more than 2 per month)

P.S. I guess we could just set up a poll with this question and debate it below said poll :)

[Arushi]

Maze runner,before I fall , delirium or book thief
Any of these would be a good idea ......I have read delirium( an amazing work) and before I fall(another masterpiece ) both by lauren Oliver and would highly recommend both .....I have not yet read maze runner and book thief but my best friend has and she does not stop praising them like anything so I think it would be a great idea to read any of these books ;)

[Jack]

I'd be up for Insurgent

[[deleted user]]

Obernewtyn by Isobelle Carmody. It's not very well known but I absolutely love it.

[Kristie, Moderator (Retired)]

@Jon I do see your point and I think that would be a great idea, but up to the moderator how she would want to handle it. Currently, she sets a poll with all the books mentioned here, then the top two picks are our reads for the month. Which is also a fair way to do it. I know I'm in another book club and if I'm not interested in the read for the month (due to how far along it is in the series or another factor) I just skip that month. I guess it helps that with two book clubs there's always something I want to read.

[Debanjan]

How about The Devotion of Suspect-X ?

[Christine]

I'm reading Changes by Danielle Steel and it's a very good book

[Sylvia]

Insurgent!! I'm very into Divergent and I think we should finish the serious!!

[kayt]

I would really like to read Cinder! And since I have so many other books to read, I'd be happy to start a new one next month!
Another book we should read is Insurgent considering we're reading Divergent this month :)

WOAH!!! even if we dont read this in the group... cant wait to read it!! sounds awesome!!

[Dina]

I definitely vote for Insurgent since divergent is amazing.

Another book I've been considering which is by an unknonw author but sounds amazing is The Club Dumas

[Kyle]

Can I suggest my own book, or is that too shameless? If so, then I'd like to suggest Acea and the Animal Kingdom

[[deleted user]]

Gentlemen and Players

You really won't regret reading this one ^^

[Christine]

Is that a good book?

Christine wrote: "Is that a good book?"

It really makes you think =) So yes, if you like that sort of thing.

[Tatiana]

I would like to Nominate Clockwork Angel :D

[Kyland]

I'd Like To Nominate "Matched."

[Lisa]

Me too, that book has been on my to-read list for years - I forgot to say "The Catcher in the Rye" :)

[Lauren]

I have been trying to read that book for at least a year now! Every time I start I get interrupted and never get a chance to pick it up again :/

[Megan]

A few others mentioned Graceling by Kristin Cashore and I completely agree!

[Patty]

I just finished Graceling. It was okay. Getting ready to read the second book Fire

[Barbara]

The Night Circus ❤

I enjoyed Fire much better than Graceling, in my opinion, but the series is altogether pretty good :)

[Emma]

[safia ☼]

I'm new so I don't know what books you've read here yet, but here are some suggestions: Wither, Insurgent, and The Perks of Being a Wallflower. :)

I can second this recommendation. It's been years since I read this but it is just astounding. Melina Marchetta is a marvelous author who deserves world-wide recognition. http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11...
