I'll nominateA Man Called Ove
for my contemporary pick. I'll have to come back for my classic. The first two I thought of have already been read by the group and the next was too long to read in a month. :)
I love this idea!!My contemporary pick is Inside the O'Briens by Lisa Genova. She's the same author who wrote Still Alice
My classic pick is I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou
Fun idea!My contemporary pick is The Sky is Everywhere
My classic pick is The Catcher in the Rye
I looked on the bookshelf and I don't think these have been group reads.
I pick Confess by Colleen Hoover for contemporary.
I pick Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell for classic.
For Classic I nominate-
Gone with the Wind
For Contemporary I nominate-
Nothing. I dont seem to be caught with the titles except for Gone With the Wind. Sorry.

If your thinking Gone with the Wind then your so right! It took me a good 2-4 monthes to read the whole thing! I have read some halfway and had to put the books down with some titles above. They simply didnt interest me.

Amber - My first two thoughts were To Kill a Mockingbird, then Dracula. Both have been read already. My next thought was The Count of Monte Cristo, but it is 1276 pages. Too long for a monthly read. I may not nominate a classic this time, as there are already a couple books here that I'd like to read.
Im getting confused! LOL we can nominate other books not on this list?
Yes, the list are books that have already been nominated.

Thank you!
Thank you!
There are soooo many great classics that are already on this list that I want to read. I nominate The Time Machine so we can have classic sci-fi represented :-)Contemporary... hmmm I think I'll nominate Paper Towns
I'd like to nominate Gone with the Wind

Teneal ...Can you divide the nominations list into CLASSIC and CONTEMPORARY? Or will the voting be for any one of these books (i.e. not two polls, but one) ... sorry if I sound completely confused ...
I nominate Water for Elephants as my contemporary and classic: Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea

There are so many good ones so far! Its hard to choose.
I will do:
Contemporary: Playlist for the Dead
Classic: Lord of the Flies

These are just the suggestions for the poll for June. We won't know what the actual BOMs will be yet.
Anything suggested will go in the poll, so if there's anything you'd like to add that isn't on list yet there's still time. :)
Hey all... FYI... This is COOL...Well, I hear the book Ashley's War that I nominated in my earlier post is in the works to be a movie with Reese Witherspoon playing a role.
