I second it.

I nominate Elon Musk: Inventing the Future - because its different genre (biography, non-fiction) from what we've read till date.

I second Matilda. Looks very interesting.

I nominate I'll Give You the Sun

The blurb reminds of God of Small Things for the twin connection and more. And then I see Mishty's ratings and her shelving it as - trash :D

OMG !! Did she rate that low for this book !? Even jenny gave this book low ratings .But my favorite booktuber https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/3... gave the book pretty high ratings . I am continuously reading Classics and wanted a break from it .So nominated this one !! I am reading The Catcher in the Rye now and next i will be reading To Kill a Mockingbird for the BOTM !! I dont want January's BOTM to be another Classic. I wanted something light and fluffy !!

I'm with you Ann for steering BOTMs away from classics :P

I nominate "wisely stupid"

Let's ban classics from this group :-P

Is Dec2016 the first time we're reading a non-classic as BOTM?
Off course I still can't say Dec2016 is the first time we're not reading any classic for BOTM!

I nominate The One and Only Ivan.


Children's books are great, and light.

Off course. Read message 14 again :)
[Keep in mind we have 2 BOTMs this month]
