Time to post book of the month nominations! What do you think would be interesting and fun for the group to read in June? I'll take the first 10 nominations and put them in a poll once we reach that magic number.

Check out our bookshelf of books that we've already read!

Nominations should be for first books in the series (unless we've read the first book already) or stand alone books.

Current May Ongoing Book of the Month Discussions
May's group pick was Breeder Breeder (An Arrow's Flight Novel) by Casey Hays which is still ongoing Breeder book discussion. If you voted for the group to read this intriguing book, I hope you're participating in the discussion. It's been pretty lively and the amazing author Casey Hays has even joined in. Be sure to stop by and say hi to Casey!

And don't forget about the amazing Q&A books that are also being featured as our May book of the month!!

Monument 14 Monument 14 (Monument 14, #1) by Emmy Laybourne Emmy's Q&A. I have to admit that when I read this book, I got quite addicted and polished off the entire series within 3 days.

Author Dan Well's Q&A was another fascinating Q&A and his book is another incredible read which I personally LOVED. Check out Partials Partials (The Partials Sequence, #1) by Dan Wells ongoing book discussion.

Post your June book nomination below! :)

Defiance (Courier's Daughter, #1) by C.J. Redwine
Dreams of Gods & Monsters (Daughter of Smoke & Bone, #3) by Laini Taylor

Defiance (Courier's Daughter, #1) by C.J. Redwine was nominated last month but missed making the poll, so I'll add it to this month's poll.

And I would like to nominate Dreams of Gods & Monsters (Daughter of Smoke & Bone, #3) by Laini Taylor

I'll add Bruiser by Neal Shusterman . This book was INCREDIBLE!

Why do I get the feeling this is going to be another tough poll to choose from? ;-)


message 6: by Katy (new)

Katy H (the_other_katy) | 49 comments I vote for anything that isn't from The Daughter of Smoke and Bone books simply because I've not read the others of the series yet...sorry, Karen!

Sherrie | 1212 comments Monstrous Beauty by Elizabeth Fama


Fierce, seductive mermaid Syrenka falls in love with Ezra, a young naturalist. When she abandons her life underwater for a chance at happiness on land, she is unaware that this decision comes with horrific and deadly consequences.

Almost one hundred forty years later, seventeen-year-old Hester meets a mysterious stranger named Ezra and feels overwhelmingly, inexplicably drawn to him. For generations, love has resulted in death for the women in her family. Is it an undiagnosed genetic defect . . . or a curse? With Ezra’s help, Hester investigates her family’s strange, sad history. The answers she seeks are waiting in the graveyard, the crypt, and at the bottom of the ocean—but powerful forces will do anything to keep her from uncovering her connection to Syrenka and to the tragedy of so long ago.

I nominate The Girl of Fire and Thorns (Fire and Thorns, #1) by Rae Carson just because I've had this series on my brain lately. Seriously, this is one of those series that you think about loooong after you've finished it! Or at least I did!

kynndra-jo (charlietanghoe) Reboot (Reboot, #1) by Amy Tintera This seems like a really interesting book that I saw Tracy was reading so I checked it out and bought it. It looks like a few have marked as a to-read so why not nominate it for June? c:


message 10: by Angela (new)

Angela Blount (perilous1) | 20 comments Glad to see Defiance up there already! :) So I'll dodge dystopians this time...

This one was kind of an "issues" book, but it really hung onto me long after I finished it: Faking Normal by Courtney C. Stevens

And in case you don't max out the 10 noms:
Once Upon a Road Trip by Angela N. Blount

message 12: by Samuel (new)

Samuel Vega (sj_vega) Is it okay for me to nominate my own book?

Kyle Demore and the Timekeeper's Key (Kyle Demore #1) by Samuel J. Vega

It's YA Fantasy, first in a series, and I think you guys would like it!
