What do we want to read in September '14?

[Beth]

Use this thread to nominate books for September. We will put up a big poll the last week in August for everyone to vote.

[Courtney]

OOH OOOH OOOOOH! I vote for Isla and the Happily Ever After.

[Bee☕]

Breathe, Annie, Breathe by Miranda Kenneally. An encouraging fic about how and when to heal, making your goals, family, a swoony guy, and Newbs: How To Train for a Marathon and Not Die. YA mix of humor, realistic fiction, and inspiration. (Made me pull out my running shoes again)

[Tiffany]

I am reading the Lux Series right now (the newest book just came out last week) its a paranormal(ish)YA series. The first one sort of pissed me off because it was basically a Twilight rip off, but towards the end it started to win me over.

I love Stephanie Perkins so I'd be up for Isla and I hear Breathe, Annie, Breathe is supposed to be good too.

There is A LOT of talk in the YA world about a book that just came out today called The Unfinished Life of Addison Stone. So that might be a good one to review.

Tiffany, I know what you mean! Obsidian did have a Twi feel... then more characters were introduced and "Holy Alien Babies!" we are not in Forks anymore. LOL. Last week, I finished Lux#5. *sniff* LOVED it. I'm glad they revamped the covers to reflect the genre better and they are combining the books into two-in-one volumes. Its like buy one, get one free.

Ditto for Isla.

Great suggestions, guys! Keep em coming!

[Beth]

This is my suggestion for September (aka ... this might be what we read because I AM IN CHARGE). https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

I liked the Lux series too! I've read all but the recently released last book. I agree on the early Twilight similarities, but it just gets crazy from there.

please don't make us read that. I know a few people who HATED it...

[Jill]

Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty

about Moms behaving badly - navigating through a minefield of elementary school politics, proving that everyone has secrets. I cannot wait to read this!

I am all for Big Little Lies. Mostly because I already own it and it's staring at me with it's pretty cover, just waiting to be read.

Yea!

[Saskia]

I nominate Cinnamon and Gunpowder by Eli Brown, because it is about food and pirates. What is not to like:)

EEEEp I love this option.

[Beth]

Thanks so much for your suggestions, guys!! We are deliberating about them and will let you know soon what to expect in September!!! TOO MANY GOOD BOOKS TO CHOOSE!!!

Blue Lily, Lily Blue Late to the party, but I'm still going to recommend for the future Maggie Stiefvater's Raven Boys series. Number 3 is coming out in September so I'm GOING TO BE READING THAT ANYWAY!! :P

I'm definitely reading that too, MC, but we may need to wait until October.

AND? Is this a source of a) amusement b) deep regret?
It's not clear to me if you're laughing out of joy or hysteria. ;-)
