It's that time of the month again! Place your book suggestions here, one nomination and one second per person. Do read through the rules first, please. Feel free to nominate books that have failed selection previously.

1. All nominations must be shelved on GR as fantasy primarily.

2. All nominations must be linked to their book page, or they'll be ignored.

3. All nominations must be seconded.

4. Check our group bookshelf as we won't be including books we've read since January 2016. Check here https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

5. No self-nominations.

You have a week to nominate, then I'll set up the poll.


Have at it, Helen

I'll break a personal rule of mine and nominate a book I've already read: The Ten Thousand Doors of January.
I mean... It's the perfect January read (and the fact the audiobook is narrated by January LaVoy makes it even better :p).

The book itself is a newly released debut standalone, and it's enchanting, contemplative and beautifully written. It's a love letter to books, stories and escapism.

Seconding this one :)

Jenny Baker (jennyrbaker) I'll nominate The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern. I loved The Night Circus, so I hope this one is just as good.
