August Suggestions [Person's Name in the Title]

[Laura, Celestial Sphere Mod]

The theme for the August Book of the Month is "a book with a person's name in the title”.

We will be using challenge prompts (in this case, no. 34) for Book of the Month(s) so members can participate without have to add side-reads to their plans. Of course, you don't have to use the chosen book for week 34.

For those new to the group, a brief intro to the book of the month may be found here.

Rules:
- One suggestion per user
- A book will enter the poll once someone "seconds" the book
- Seconding a book counts as your suggestion
- Suggestions will remain open for five days or as soon as 5-6 books have been seconded.

Poll Entries
- The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch
- Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes
- Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier
- The Stories of Eva Luna by Isabel Allende
- Josh and Hazel's Guide to Not Dating by Christina Lauren
- Sweetland by Michael Crummey

[Emily, Conterminous Mod]

I planned on reading The Love Song of Miss Queenie Hennessy, but it's second in a series so I won't make a suggestion. I may change my read, though, depending on what the group chooses!

[Bookish Katie]

I suggest The Lies Of Locke Lamora!

[Trish, Annular Mod]

How about Rebecca, Daphne du Maurier?

[Entropia]

Flowers for Algernon

[Laura, Celestial Sphere Mod]

I'll second Flower for Algernon. It's been on my list forever and I need to just read it already :)

[Milena]

I second Rebecca

[Jenny]

I suggest The Stories of Eva Luna by Isabel Allende

[Brittany]

I would like to suggest Josh and Hazel's Guide to Not Dating

[Lizzy]

I will second the Stories of Eva Luna.

[Pam]

I suggest Sweetland by Canadian author Michael Crummey. It also works for the elderly character prompt.

I will second Sweetland as I still have the elderly character prompt open.
