Modern Good Reads discussion

It is time to nominate our JULY Book of the Month. Let’s let the fun of a new book and discussion begin.

For this month let’s discuss our favorite books (any genre).
We will be picking from your choices, but one book will be decided by your votes and the second by the moderators. We try to maintain a balance between indie and more mainstream books, and will make sure the final choices reflect the two. If the popular vote is for an indie, then the moderators will choose a mainstream option. If the popular vote is mainstream, then we will chose an indie option.

Please nominate your favorite book to our list and we will get the poll up soon. First the ground rules:
- No self-nominations
- The nominations will be open for three days
- Nominations will be listed in a first come first serve manner, with the books with the most nominations heading the list
- Total number of nominations taken for the poll is twenty.
- If you prefer to email me your choices, those will be added at the end of that day’s nominations.

I would like to nominate Lord Foul's Bane, the first of an award-winning fantasy trilogy by Stephen R Donaldson (The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant).

I would like to nominate Silent Echo by Elisa Freilich for the July BOTM.

It's a timely and beautifully written book.

September Ends

Ye Gods! by Lynne Hinkey -- fun stuff, nice mystery, good characterization

I nominate "Silent Echo: A Siren's Tale" by Elisa Freilich. Not sure how new it is to you (I'm new to this group - hi!) but it was new to me and I loved it. Really cool stuff - kind of like mashing up A Fault in Our Stars and Twilight, but there's so much more to it than that. Read it and you'll know :)

The Spectrum Conspiracy by Craig Faris -- action packed!

I would like to nominate The Skin Collector by Jeffrey Deaver.

I nominate

Mr. Mercedes

@aNITA: wE READ back i this January or February. You might want to change your vote.

Since, it wasn't chosen last month, I nominate again The Martian.

I nominate The Troop by Nick Cutter.

I nominate The Wave.

Blurb:
The Wave is based on a true incident that occured in a high school history class in Palo Alto, California, in 1969.

The powerful forces of group pressure that pervaded many historic movements such as Nazism are recreated in the classroom when history teacher Burt Ross introduces a "new" system to his students. And before long The Wave, with its rules of "strength through discipline, community, and action", sweeps from the classroom through the entire school. And as most of the students join the movement, Laurie Saunders and David Collins recognize the frightening momentum of The Wave and realize they must stop it before it's too late.
