February Group Read Nomination

[Carri Carey, TBR Twins]

Hi everyone!

Time to nominate books for February! The theme is Time.

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

~Books we have read less than three years ago are not eligible. To see which books are not eligible, 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 December 25th, 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.

[Theresa, Readathons]

I'll nominate A Day Like This

The connection is the word Day in the title.

[Kat]

Love in the Time of Serial Killers by Alicia Thompson the word time in title

[M]

The Watchmaker of Filigree Street by Natasha Pulley

Connection to the theme:
A watch tells time :) and I think there's a timepiece in here that's important to the story...

I have that book. I will second this.

[Rhi]

I will nominate The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared by Jonas Jonasson.

The connection to time it that alongside the story taking place in the present, the book takes us through the decades of Allans life, starting when he was a young man, up until his 100th birthday when he decides to climb out of his retirement home window.

I read this more then a decade ago, and I've always wanted to re-read it as I think I was too young to fully grasp some geo-political context that takes place. I have no idea if this book holds up. What I do recall is that this book was pretty nonsensical lol.

I'll second this one.

[Audrey]

Time Traveler’s Wife

[TerryJane, Challenges]

Based on both the title and theme, I'll nominate The Ministry of Time. It is shelved across multiple genres, including science fiction, fantasy, time travel, romance, and historical fiction. It just won the 2024 Goodreads Choice Award for science fiction, and was also nominated in the debut category.

[Lisa]

I'd like to nominate Time Shelter - the link is in the title, as well as the aspect of past, present and future being a big part of the plot.

[GailW]

I second the The Ministry of Time

[Gina Marie]

I'll echo the nomination for The Ministry of Time.

[LinaVer]

There are many great books already nominated that I'd like to and will likely read but as a nomination of my own I want to suggest One Hundred Years of Solitude.

It might be a book already read by many though lol. I've been wanting to re-read it.

[Kylie]

I'll suggest The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger. The links being the title and the nature of the time traveller's affliction and life.

[Carmen]

Hola!
I'd like to nominate Swann’s Way by Marcel Proust, the first book in his enormous novel "In search of lost time", a work as intimidating as it is magnificent and that I highly recommend.

[Shari]

I will second The Watchmaker of Filigree Street

[Ciara]

I'd like to nominate The Future of Another Timeline by Annalee Newitz. Murder, time travel, time war, riot grrrl, what's not to love?? Plus it's backlist, so it should be relatively easy to pick up cheap or from the library without waiting for weeks/ on hold.

[Astrid]

I nominate The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
I chose this going with the subject Time, since the tilte has the word night in it.

[Robynne]

I would like to Nominate the Out of Time Series, by Monique Martin. A whole series of books using the same family (Husband, wife and a daughter) who travel through time to fix up paradoxes that happen after other baddies do something to disrupt the timeline.

Book 1 is called Out of Time.

[La_mariane]

I second Swann's Way. It's been on my TBR list forever and a day...

[Susan, Games & Events]

I'd like to nominate Four Past Midnight by Stephen King.

Four past midnight is a time.

[BarbaraBrubru_gingertiger]

I will second The Watchmaker of Filigree Street too !

[ciera compton]

I 2nd Four past midnight!

[Anna Rachel]

I'll second The Watchmaker of Filigree Street
