Nominations for November Group Read!

[Char]

It's time to put together our polls for November's group read!

There are only a few rules:

Books read by this group in the last year are disqualified.

Independent authors may NOT nominate their own books.

The book must be widely available, as our group is an international one and we want everyone to be able to participate!

Books with more than 1 nomination are more likely to make it to the final polls, so be don't be afraid to "second" or "third" a book.

[Lena]

My nominations:

The Red Mohawk
Carrion Comfort
The Delicate Dependency

[Aaron]

Hmmm, what to read between Halloween and Christmas!

Has the group read Suicide Forest by Jeremy Bates yet?

Nice walk in the woods, very autumnal.

Sorry Daniel, if you read the first post, you'll see that authors may not nominate their own books.

[Marie Helene]

I nominate:
Carrion Comfort

[Kimberly]

I'll nominate The Lesser Dead, since I've read nothing except incredible reviews for this one.

I absolutely love Bates' work. When The Forest came out, I thought it was his lol. Probably would have been much better if it had been. Have you read the rest of the series in his World's Scariest Places?

I nominate Such Nice People by Sandra Scoppettone. It has a bit of a Christmas tone to it to get you in the mood. No Kindle version, but the physical copies are pretty cheap.

I'll fifth this one since I've already read The Lesser Dead and it was awesome.

I think I'll get a copy of that one, too, since the synopsis sounds great...

[Kathy]

I second Suicide Forest. I must read the rest of his series.

[Nate]

I'll second The Delicate Dependency. Michael Talbot is amazing, and I'm planning on reading this one soon anyway.

[Kieron]

I 2nd The Lesser Dead. Like the look of this one.

[Mike]

I'd vote for Carrion Comfort too but I think we need to remember that November is a short month and this book is over 800 pages long.

Just saying.

[Boon]

The Father of Flesh, https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

Like 350 pages, pretty quick read. I have the audio book and am going to read it once I get paid.

I think we have but it's been years ago. let me check. . I think it was in 2015 cause that's when I read it lol and I'm pretty sure it was with a group here.

[Melissa]

Those Across the River sounds fantastic. Second choice is .

[Mixofsunandcloud]

I third Suicide Forest. It's free on Amazon right now, as well.

[Krystal]

My nominations:

The Stand by Stephen King

The Mall by S.L. Grey

The Passage by Justin Cronin

The Small Hand by Susan Hill

[Kimberly]

I'll second The Dead Path. I've never heard of it before now, but it looks really good!

[Kelly B]

Another vote for Those Across the River. It's one I actually own, but haven't read yet.

[Monica]

If Suicide forest is free I'll second that. It would be nice to read.

[Marie]

I will second "The Red Mohawk".

[Char]

There's still time to get your suggestions, (or seconds or thirds) in. Looks like we have a great variety this month!

[Lena]

Thanks Marie! It’s a short 80s tribute slasher that was everything awesome Final Girl was NOT.

[Rachel]

I will second The Small Hand by Susan Hill

[Rouxmia]

Suicide Forest :)

[Kris Melson]

How about off season by jack Ketchum or what the hell did I just read the new John dies at the end book

Anything Marie likes generally makes its way into my TBR pile... ;)

[Badseedgirl]

I'll second The Passage just because it is a kick ass book!

Another vote for this one.

[Red]

I third? Carrion Comfort by Dan Simmons. And also, White Is for Witching by Helen Oyeyemi, or the extremely creepy story of The Devil in Silver by Victor LaValle.

Awesome!

I wish I had noted The Dead Path before yesterday. I had a chance to meet the author, but I didn't recognize his name.

I'm putting together the polls now, so I'm closing this thread. Look for a poll message later today.

Thanks everyone!
