June Group Read Nomination

[Winter, Group Reads]

Hi everyone!

Time to nominate for June is Mind.

~Please remember to state a connection to the theme when you nominate.

~Books we have read less than three years ago are not eligble. To see which books are not eligble, see this google sheet:

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

~ 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 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.


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 "seconded" books first. 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.

I've been using my *mind* to think about this one for days lol I've decided to nominate Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. It's a twisty story where most of the characters play mind games and you can never sure what is real or imagined in your own brain. :)
