This was a group read already in May 2014. Would you like to nominate another book?

I'll nominate The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson.

The poll is up. No further nominations will be accepted. Please note that I added the suggestions that were eligible, although two members did not use Goodreads links. In the future, your suggestions may not make it on the poll.
