November 2018 Random Read Group Read Nominations

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Literary Adrenaline Junkie]

It's time for our semi-annual Random Read month. This month, you can choose the theme of your choice for the November group read. Just remember it still has to have some degree of action/adventure content, even if it fits into another genre.

(Please recall that we don't vote for books we've already read--There's a link below to check our list of previous group reads).

Here are the other considerations:

1. One nomination per group member. The books must be nominated with a Goodreads link by clicking on 'add book/author'. If a book does not have a Goodreads link, it will not be added to the poll.
2. Books need to be readily available, ie, in print (able to buy new or in ebook format).
3. Books should have some degree of action/adventure content.
4. Past group reads are not eligible to be nominated again. The past group discussions remain open for members to comment. You may see the list of past reads here:

5. Books must be either standalone or first in a series (or they may be later in a series if constructed to be read as a standalone).
6. Authors are asked not to nominate their own books or solicit nominations from members.

Please feel free to include a blurb for the book so others know a little about the book, along with your Goodreads book link.

The poll will go up on October 8th.

I would like to nominate The Lost City of the Monkey God by Douglas Preston.



A five-hundred-year-old legend. An ancient curse. A stunning medical mystery. And a pioneering journey into the unknown heart of the world's densest jungle.

Suspenseful and shocking, filled with colorful history, hair-raising adventure, and dramatic twists of fortune, The Lost City of the Monkey God is the absolutely true, eyewitness account of one of the great discoveries of the twenty-first century.

I nominate Zero World by Jason M Hough.

I second that nomination!

How about Starship Troopers by Robert A. Heinlein for something a little different?

[Mike (the Paladin)]

How about Death of a Citizen . I read it some time ago and it leads into one of my favorite older action adventure series.

Lightning by Dean Koontz

In the midst of a raging blizzard, lightning struck on the night Laura Shane was born. And a mysterious blond-haired stranger showed up just in time to save her from dying.

Years later, in the wake of another storm, Laura will be saved again. For someone is watching over her. But just as lightning illuminates, darkness always follows close behind.

This was a group read already. I double checked to be sure.

I just realized that Lightning has also been a group read before.

So I fell into the midterm maelstrom. As a result, I’m late replying about our tie. We’ll do what we’ve done in the past with ties. We’ll do one group read in November and the next in December.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Literary Adrenaline Junkie]

Lost City of the Monkey God will be our November read and we’ll read Starship Troopers in December. Thanks for voting, and thanks for catching that we had already read Lightning, Lisa.
