Please post your nominations for our group read next month, ie. May 2017. Do take care to follow the rules, which are:

1. Only one book nomination per person. The book goes to poll if it is seconded by another person, or if the moderators decide so.
2. NO PROMOTIONS OF ANY KIND.
3. Please avoid recommending previous winners; the list can be seen here: https://www.goodreads.com/group/books...

Hoping for some cool recommendations to cool us this summer. :)

I second The Age of Innocence

[Ahtims]

hi Sachin,
only English books. If you are nominating regional works, and English translation dhould be available. This is because in this huge country of ours, no indigenous language is universally apprehended.

I recommend A court of Wings and Ruin by Sarah J. Maas

[Shriram]

I nominate Career if Evil by J K Rowling under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith. This is the best thriller that I have ever read in my life. While that might not be a long duration of time, I am sure any avid reader will love this book. I also nominate this book because I see that Cuckoo's Calling was actually the Book of the Month once and I would like to say that this book is actually the third one in the Cormoran Strike series of which Cuckoo's Calling was the first.

[Wardah]

Okay, I nominate Fathers and Sons by Ivan Turgenev

[Aziz]
