BOTM Suggestions August 2019 - Bookshelf Catch-up

[Tori]

Hello everyone! It is time again to start the book-of-the-month suggestion threads for August 2019! This discussion is for the category called BOOKSHELF CATCH-UP.

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.

Not a hard and fast rule, but please try to limit your nominations to one book per category. But please do second any that interest you! The number of seconds determine poll inclusion.

Books featured as a group reread within the last twelve months are not eligible.

>>> Attention, please: We will be featuring page numbers in the poll, so please include page numbers in your nomination if possible.

Nominations end Midnight June 16.

[Tori]

Remember, we can't nominate books we have reread as a group in the last twelve months, and those are:

And Then There Were None
The Night Circus
The Handmaid's Tale
Wuthering Heights
Lord of the Flies
Fahrenheit 451
Little Women
A Christmas Carol
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
