I nominate I See You by Clare Mackintosh
. Clare is the international bestselling author of
."If it's just the two of you,
Just you and whoever's behind you,
Whoever is chasing you,
How fast could you run then? It doesn't matter how fast. Because there's always someone who can run faster." I See You

It is true I have read kindle edition. I checked on amazon before nomination and I saw it was available in other formats .

I am from Romania. I order books from UK, US etc. In my country some books won't be publish.
From US perspective, this book will be publish next year and right now paperback edition can be only ordered. This is an international group and it is hard to know if a book will be publish in US, Australia etc. Kindle edition (not only) is available everywhere, but some people love paperback edition.
So, in the future should I focus on books published in US? If paperback edition is there (published), I can nominate it and if it is not, I should avoid it.
Simona, I would suggest you choose books that are already published and readily available in your country. A book does not need to be new or recent. Classic and older books are fine to nominate. Just as long as they are easy to get a copy of.Perhaps Chava will have more advice for you.
There are just too many books released each year to purchase all of them. Unless it is a unique book that includes beautiful artwork or maps, I usually borrow the book from my local library.
Agreed, I volunteer at my local library and think it is the greatest public resource available to us.

Before nomination, we should check your local library as well. Clare's book can be bought in Canada, US and other countries. As I understood, you can not borrow it from your local library.
I can not deny that one reason of nomination new releases is that at the end of the year we have Goodreads Awards and I am interested of it.
I checked with the local bookstores here, but unfortunately it will not available in stores either until Feb 21/17.

It is not mandatory to have a group read this year. You can nominate it next year when it will be available in your local libraries.
Hi all,It's not against the rules, but as per rule #5, please be mindful of what you nominate.
I would like to nominate:DiggerDigger: Sierra and the Case of the Chimera Killer
This is about Sierra who is a Search Dog, and a good read.
I would like to nominate Ripper by Stefan Petrucha. Please and thank you:)
I nominate "You Gotta: Be Dirty: The Outlaws Motorcycle Club In & Around Wisconsin by Michel Grogan As the author notes, this work of non-fiction is about treachery, beatings, bombings, and (unsolved and solved) murders.
