BOTM Suggestions Jan '18 - Bookshelf Catch-Up

[Kaseadillla]

Hello all! Starting up the monthly discussions for January 2018 book-of-the-month suggestions. This discussion is for a brand new category called BOOKSHELF CATCH-UP.

This is a catch-up book club, after all. For this category, you can nominate any book that the group has previously read. For a list of books that the group has previously read and discussed, please see the bookshelf.

I'll start off by suggesting a group read that I personally missed - Dune by Frank Herbert.

[Radhika]

seconding Dune

I'd like to nominate The Shining by Stephen King

[Marcos]

My bad. :-) I posted something as if I were in another thread! Just removed it!

[Sarah]

Guys, especially new members, like our moderator said above, you can have a look at the "Bookshelf" link on the top right hand corner of the page and see the pr..."

That's why I nominated it for the Catch-Up category....

[Marcos]

Not fast enough, though... :-) Sorry, Sarah!

That's ok! You're just trying to keep everyone on the right path.

It did make me do a double check, lol.

I had all three threads open at once in different tabs, so it did make me think I had posted in the wrong one for a minute.

[Radhika]

Would also like to nominate Small Great Things by Jodi Picoult

the book thief sounds like a good idea? but i dont know i feel like picking something extra ordinary for starting the new year but i can think of a book like that

[vrenzy]

what about all the light we cannot see? or the martian or the sun also rises?

[Innastholiel]

I'll nominate Good Omens again. There's a TV miniseries coming sometime in 2018, so I'd really love to re-read it.

This is a little off-topic, but I love this idea. It is so fitting for a Catch-Up Book Club to have a "Catch Up to the book club" read :)
