June Group Read Nomination

[Winter, Group Reads]

Hi everyone!

We now allow books the group has read for more than three years ago to be nominated again. To see which books are not eligble, see this google sheet:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...

It's time to nominate for June the theme is Weather.

Please remember to state a connection to the theme when you nominate. Thank you :)

Here are some short rules for nominating books:

~ Each person can nominate 1 book.

~ Book must be available both as a physical copy and as an ebook.

~ Authors: Please do not nominate your own book.

~ Please include the name of the book and the author or link to the book.

~ Please do not nominate books that are part of a series, unless it is the first book.

~ You can second someone else's nomination, but that will count as your nomination.

~ When nominating, please state a connection to the theme.


This thread will be closed by April 26th, and we will choose ten books for the poll. If there are more than ten books nominated, we will choose the ten most nominated. If there is still a tie to get into the top ten, we'll go back to the Goodreads average rating to see which is highest.

This sounds fun. I will nominate Doctor Zhivago by Boris Pasternak.



While only part of the book takes place in winter, I surely think of cold when I think of Siberia. Also, many editions feature snowy covers.

Oh, my! I love that book so much and haven't read it since I was 14! I do not own it, so this would be a good excuse to buy a nice copy to add to my collection. I'll second this one!

[Julia]

I nominate Firestorm by Iris Johansen.

[Dhiya]

I second Doctor Zhivago!

[Ilona]

I'd like to nominate The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami.

Wind (rhymes with kind) in the title of this books has the same spelling as wind (rhymes with grinned), an important part of weather.

[Kelly]

I nominate Aurora Rising by Amie Kaufman, Jay Kristoff.

I would love for this to win! I have always wanted to read it!

[Samantha]

I would like to nominate The Summer Wives, the connection to the theme, weather, is when I think of summer I think of the nice warm, sunny weather connected to it.

[Niya]

I'd like to nominate The Story of More: How We Got to Climate Change and Where to Go from Here. It's a nonfiction book about climate change (as the title suggests) written by a specialist in the field.

[Tayo]

I would like to nominate Weather by Jennifer Offill it about climate change, lasting marriage, and fighting addiction.

Would like to second this nomination

I'd like to suggest Mara and Dann by Doris Lessing. I read it years ago, and I'd love to re-read it for the group read. And weather (and climate) is one of the main point of the story, wich begins because of a terrible drought.

I second this!

[Brittany]

I would like to nominate The Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin. I would say this book is definitely a climate fiction, with its conditions and the threat of a terrible fifth season, so it is definitely related to weather.

Another vote for Doctor Zhivago by Boris Pasternak
Been wanting to read this ever since finishing The Secrets We Kept by Lara Prescott which is all about the suppression of Doctor Zhivago and the American effort to get the book into the hands of the Soviet peoples!

[Marc *Dark Reader with a Thousand Young! Iä!*]

How about Cloud Atlas? Obvious weather connection, imagine an atlas of clouds...

That is an amazing book.

Yet what is any ocean, but a multitude of drops?

[Christine]

I nominate The Sun Down Motel

[Kenny Wallace]

My nomination is book one from a three part series

Orcs - Bodyguard of Lightning by Stan Nicholls

Link to the book - Bodyguard of Lightning

I read this years ago and had considered picking this back up again recently. So what better way than as part of a group read so it can be discussed.
