Indian Readers discussion

Being a responsible citizen also entails nominating and voting for your most anticipated / favorite read for the month of June!

HERE ARE THE RULES --->
★ Please suggest a worthy title for the group to read as a whole.
★ Please avoid nominating if you feel you won't be able to read and discuss the book in the thread.

A few more simple rules:
★ No promotions of any kind
★ Please avoid books already read by the group. You may access the group bookshelf to see the list of books read here:
Please don't make History repeat itself
★ Try and nominate books that can easily be read in a month. ( this means chunksters with 700 or more pages better be avoided).
★ Moderators have the final say in selecting a book for the poll.

We will put up the polls around May 15th.

Eagerly awaiting your suggestions. Let's get this summer rollin'!

I nominate Verity by Colleen Hoover .

I nominate Milkman by Anna Burns. I have been meaning to read it, as I'm sure many others have been and would love to read it with everyone in June.

I nominate My Lovely Wife by Samantha Downing

I second my Lovely Wife ...

June nominations have started with a bang.💥

I suggest "GOOD TALK" a memoir by Mira Jacob.

Verity could have been an obvious choice however I've read that

I suggest " It's Not About the Burqa: Muslim Women on Faith, Feminism, Sexuality and Race" by Mariam Khan

Fahrenheit 451, The Rosie Results, The case for India

You can nominate one title :)

Is there any particular genre of nomination or it's just "anything goes"?

I think we should decide at least a broad category like - fiction or non-fiction.

Tell the Wolves I'm Home by Carol Rifka Brunt

Hi Nick. .
We had introduced categories a few years ago.. and nominations ( as well as discussion) were minimal.
Even with this broad category ... Though nominations do occur ,
active participation is not the norm , even by the person who suggests.

Next month we will try with a specific genre and gauge the response.

I nominate An Unlikely chemistry by S krishnaswamy

I'd like to nominate Post Office by Charles Bukowski

I’d like to nominate Eleanor Oliphant is completely fine

I second Milkman by Anna Burns!
