message 51: by Autumn (new)

Autumn (autumnmemory80) | 374 comments Is the list still open? Is YA a possibility? I would like to nominate Little Monsters by Kara Thomas. I just finished this, and would gladly read again. It may be compared to PLL, which is an insult in my opinion. I would compare this to Gone Girl, gladly, and say I enjoyed it more than Gone Girl a thousand times over.

If not, I agree with the book I Let You Go.

another book, maybe?"


I am sorry, I did not see the "M" requirement. I looked, but I did not see it. I will look again.

Autumn (autumnmemory80) | 374 comments How about another fun YA read? One of Us Is Lying by Karen M. McManus. Breakfast Club meets Thriller/Mystery.

Skye | 2105 comments Thanks, Nancy. I also wonder why Iron Lake had such a small group of people discussing it.

My excuse is that I had read it already and had too many books on my plate to squeeze in one I had already read, even though it is an excellent book that I highly recommend.


message 68: by Skye (new)

Skye | 2105 comments Tom, I can understand that!

Unfortunately, it is too late to nominate something. You can vote, though. Here's the link.

You voted and the results are in:

I Let You Go, by Clare McKintosh and
All the Missing Girls, by Megan Miranda

came out winners.

I'll be contacting the moderators Skye and Fred to let them know -- in the meantime, you have plenty of time to find copies and start reading.


message 74: by Skye (new)

Skye | 2105 comments Thanks, Nancy; I just read this!

Wend (wends) | 44 comments Will be reading I Let You Go, it's been on my tbr list a while, considering it won awards in the UK, no idea why I've not got to it before!
