Goodreads All Sorts discussion

What would you like to read for July??

THE POLL IS SET UP NOW -
The Monthly Group Read will be posted on July 5th.

Every month we will nominate a book to read and discuss as a group. Any book in any genre can be nominated. After nominations close, a poll will be created so members can vote on which book they'd like to read as a group.

Rules:

1. Only 1 nomination allowed per person.
2. First come first serve up to 10 nominations.
3. If you want to second someone elses nomination feel free to do so but that will be your 1 nomination.
4. If for some reason you think that the outcome of the poll vote is unfair please contact me and I will do what I can.
5. If the poll vote is a draw then there will be a tie-break poll.

I would like to start by nominating "Joyland" by Stephen King. This retro-style book just came out this month in paperback only, which I think is kind of appropriate for summer reading. It takes place at a cheesy summer amusement park - and if you're familiar with Stephen King's work, you know how macabre that can be...

I'm going to try again with as I still haven't read this yet :)

In honor of summer reading, Paris & booksellers everywhere, I choose the 1st entry in a new mystery/suspense series.

Voila: The Bookseller The First Hugo Marston Novel by Mark Pryor.

I would like to nominate .

Well, since we only have 4 nominations, I would like to bend the rules a little -
1. I'm keeping the nominations open until June 29th.
2. You can nominate 2 books instead of just one per person.
3. A poll will be set up on June 30th.
4. The Monthly Group Read Book will be posted on July 5th.

I'd like to nominate:


The Heretic Queen by Michelle Moran;
The Shadowy Horses by Susanna Kearsley

Terry, My SECOND pick for July is The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman. It is not, however, my 2nd preference!
Thanks!

That sounds like a good one - I put it on my ever-growing To Read list!

Orphan Train and The Mountains Echoed

second nomination for me is Breakfast at Tiffany's for a nice short summer read :)

Wow, I forgot that was a book - I want to read that one!

Are you talking about James Patterson's book?

Missy, are you referring to the breakfast at tiffany's book, if so that is written by Truman Capote.

Gotcha. I thought James Patterson had written one by the same name. But now I can't find it.

Ok. The James Patterson book is Sundays at Tiffany's. It's nice to know I'm not completely crazy!!!

IT LOOKS LIKE THERE IS A 3 WAY TIE BETWEEN






I AM SETTING UP A NEW POLL WITH JUST THESE 3 BOOKS ON IT. PLEASE VOTE IF YOU WANT TO READ EITHER OF THEM, TO BREAK THE TIE - THE POLL WILL BE OPEN UNTIL JULY 10TH.

Hi Hedvig, you have to go to the poll page to vote - you can click on Polls at the top right corner of the group home page.

Hi! Having a little technical trouble here - I can't figure out why the Monthly Group Read for July is not visible in the "Currently Reading" section at the top of the Group Home page...

Anyway,
The Ocean at the End of the Lane won the tie breaker poll for July - Yay!! See the discussion folder I created - hopefully that will show up somewhere!
