The F-word discussion

Post any and all nominations for books to read in February (yes I'm way ahead of the game here) and I'll make a poll of the top 10 for member voting!

The Awakeningby, Kate Chopin

Should this be fiction/ non-fiction or can it be any type of book?

We will pick a fiction and a non-fiction so feel free to nominate both!

Are the December and January reads posted somewhere? I am on my phone and I'm having a hard time finding them but I like to get on the wait list early if its a popular book at the library or if I have to order it. :-)

The Goodreads app doesn't display group pages properly, I have noticed, and things like upcoming reads or polls don't show up. Irritating. Here are the upcoming reads:

December selections:

Full Frontal Feminism: A Young Woman's Guide to Why Feminism Matters
by Jessica Valenti

The Gate to Women's Country
by Sheri S. Tepper

January selections:

Obsessive Genius: The Inner World of Marie Curie
by Barbara Goldsmith

The Bell Jar
by Sylvia Plath


I'd like to nominate Julia Serano's new book for February Non-fiction. Whipping Girl was great and I'm looking forward to reading her views on exclusivity within the LGBTQ and Feminist movements, as I have personally had great difficulty with this in my local 'scene'

Excluded: Making Feminist and Queer Movements More Inclusive

I just got this book The Sabi- by Diane Brown. Anyone read it yet? Only a quarter way through but wow!
Incredible how women face the brunt of dysfunctional societies.

I would like to nominate Sarah Canary for fiction and Of Woman Born: Motherhood as Experience and Institution for non-fiction.

I'll go with Fat Is A Feminist Issue

I'll second Sarah Canary.

For non-fiction:

Girls Like Us: Forty Extraordinary Women Celebrate Girlhood in Story, Poetry, and Song [poetry]

He, She and It [fiction]

Thanks for all the nominations! If there are no more last minute noms I'll set the poll up for January first. :)
