October Group Read Theme Nomination

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Literary Adrenaline Junkie]

The time has come to select our October Group Read theme. Please feel free to make a suggestion (one per member). You may include a quick definition if you want in order to clarify your selection.

The theme should be related to the overall group purpose: action and adventure in some shape or form.

The poll will go up on August 24th.

**We're not looking for actual book choices right now, just a general theme.***

Theme Suggestions:

*Memorable Sidekicks
*Talking Animals
*Best Prequel Books (book that was written after the start of a series but chronologically takes place before the start of the series)
*Action Horror
*Urban Fantasy Action

[Lisa P, My weekend is all booked up!]

I'm going to suggest Memorable Sidekicks. There are so many books out there, where the main character is enjoyable; but the extremely memorable sidekick will really make the story successful for me!

I really like that idea, Lisa!

You made me think of Dr. John Watson almost immediately!

Talking animals.

[Magiccats]

I thought of a book right away re the talking animals.

[Henry]

I love the memorable sidekick idea (my two favourite A/A characters would definitely be described as memorable and sidekicks. I would also like to suggest best prequel book for an A/A series

[Henry]

by prequel I mean a book that was written after the start of a series but chronologically takes place before the start of the series.

Since October is scary month (at least for some of us), I added Action Horror as my nomination pick.

[Rizwan]

Since I don't have anything better, I'll nominate Urban-Action-Fantasy again (after last month), mostly because I'm having so much fun reading Storm Front right now!

Me, too. It would also fit the sidekick theme.

[Eileen]

Good idea, Lady D.

[The Pirate Ghost, Long John Silvers Wanna-be]

Creature Feature? (an action book with something monsterous?)

[David]

Spooky books :) I agree with the idea of a scary book in October

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Literary Adrenaline Junkie]

Is there a particular distinction between action horror, creature feature, and spooky books? I think if they more or less fit in with action horror, why not just use that as a broad theme (that includes your suggestions), instead of splitting votes?

[David]

Yeah, just make then under the same thing. Works for me :)

[The Pirate Ghost, Long John Silvers Wanna-be]

I'm good wit it.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Literary Adrenaline Junkie]

Thanks! :)
