March Group Read Nominations

[Winter, Group Reads]

Hi everyone!

Time to nominate books for March! The theme is Numbers.

~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 January 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.

The Eight by Katherine Neville



The Number 8 in the title.

Something about a chess set that belonged to Emperor Charlemagne. Sounds exciting.

[Mary]

I nominate Charles Dickens's 'A Tale of Two Cities'. The novel is divided into three books, set in two cities, and begins with a famous phrase with eight pairs of contrasting adjectives.

[Liz]

I second The Fourth Wing. It’s been on my TBR lots for months and would meet my personal TBR challenge.

Liz, Fourth Wing has not been nominated yet for March (but is in the poll for February!).
If you want to nominate a book for March, please state a connection between the book and the theme of Numbers (even when it's obvious).

[Lorraine]

I nominate Three Trapped Tigers by Guillermo Cabrera Infante. Link is in the title: Three.

[Agnieszka]

I nominate Safety in Numbers by Sophie Penhaligon

because of the word ‘numbers’ in the title, numbers on the cover, plus female MC is a mathematician (= she works with numbers).

[Emily]

I would like to nominate Hidden Figures. The connection is that it is about three women mathematicians working for NASA during the space race who played an integral role in solving the calculations necessary to complete the moon landing.
