Read Women discussion

Nominations for our December read are now open. It's an Open Choice month, so any genre welcome!


Criteria:
1. Book must be by a female author (transwomen and women using male pseudonyms are women).
2. No books that have already been group reads (see our list of previous reads)
3. You cannot nominate a book you have written yourself.

How to Nominate:
1. Give both the title of the book and the author's name when nominating to avoid mix-ups. Title only nominations may be missed
2. Please use the 'add book/author' button when nominating otherwise your nomination risks being missed.
3. Please indicate whether you are willing to lead discussion on the book.
4. Try to avoid using this thread for chatter as it makes it very hard to locate what are actual nominations and what is just discussion. If you really want to discuss something, please drop it in a spoiler tag.
5. One nomination per person.

Nominations will close on 9 November when the poll will go up.

Three things about Elsie by Joanna Cannon

I would like to nominate Terra Nullius by Claire G. Coleman again. It was shortlisted for the Stella Prize and the author is Aboriginal. I can lead.

Hello, I'd like to nominate Let Me Tell You About a Man I Knew by Susan Fletcher. I'd rather not lead.

Is it acceptable to nominate a book I have nominated before? If so, I'd like to nominate Brown Girl in the Ring by Nalo Hopkinson.

I'm willing to lead.

Hi Anne, are you happy to lead the discussion if your book wins the poll?

I nominate Journey into the Whirlwind by Evgenia Ginzburg, a memoir. I can lead.

I think Journey into the whirlwind is a good idea.
