Nominate Books for Book of the Month (see restrictions)

Members of the forum choose and read a new book every month together, and then discuss it. You can nominate a book to be book of the month using the book's page on Bookshelves. Simply click the link that says 'Nominate for book of the month' on the left side of the book's Bookshelves page near the social sharing buttons. Don't be scared to nominate, as you can change your nomination to a different book if you think of something better.

The 5th Wave by Rick Yancy
Crap happens; it's inevitable, it's a part of life. You can't let it destroy though, you learn to be stronger and wiser through the crappy things that happen.

I just finished read a book by Kimberly McCreight, Reconstructing Amelia. This was my first time reading a book by this author and being a mother of three girls I found this book very insightful. I didn't like all the bad language the book had; but I do find it necessary to educate the parents today about the dangers of cell phones and Facebook etc. for their kids because it is so easy to be bullied using these devices. My girls don't have these things yet thank goodness but I know when they get older they will (maybe when they are in college) It also proves how important it is to communicate with your kids and keep plugged in with them and to know how to keep them safe. I thought it was a really great read sad but great.

The Bite of the Mango by Mariatu Kamara with Susan McClelland
Tells the true story of a woman from Sierra Leone whose hands were brutally chopped off and her family killed in a civil war. An absolute must-read, would have some great discussion!

Sounds like a stomach turner :) I think Frozen Solid by James Tabor might get some good discussion. It plays with the ideas of genetic manipulation, murder, and intrigue.

Please note, new rules for our book of the month program require that nominated books are not part of a series and have not already been turned into a movie.

I have created the topic to vote for the August book of the month. I have also created the subforum to discuss the June book, Divergent.

Please continue to use this topic to post nominations. As of the time of this post, nominations are currently for September.

An old book you chose. I have read it in my youth and liked it. Anyway, Scott stated that one of the requirements for Nominations is that the "original publication date must have been in the last 10 years".

Look Who's Back by Timur Vermes (translated from German by Jamie Bulloch)
A satirical book that has the potential to generate lots of conflicting emotions & much to discuss
We fade away, but vivid in our eyes
A world is born again that never dies.
