Book Snails Book Group discussion

This is where we will nominate and discuss Second Chance Reads for 2020

I'll nominate a book I'd like to read that we had as a runner-up in September 2019 poll: Beloved .

If others would like to consult our previous Second Chance Reads polls and pitch some runners-up, that'd be great! No big deal if we skip a Second Chance Read too!

another one from a former poll:

The Testaments by Margaret Atwood

(The Handmaid's Tale #2)

Both excellent choices. Though, I still haven't read The Handmaid's Tale. Just the thought of it makes me angry but also anxious. When ever I think about reading it, my body starts to feel like a panic attack is coming on. I've never had a physical reaction to a book, that I haven't read, before. And after reading a fair few of Atwood's other books, I know that it won't end happy. "Must reads" are never happy. Bittersweet, possibly but never happy.

Maybe add Becoming, as well.

Any more suggestions for our next Second Chance read poll? We can include suggestions below, plus maybe a handful of 2nd placers from recent other Polls.

[If one of the other Mods wants to put up the Second Chance Poll sometime in July, please go for it!]

First 2nd Chance Poll

It worked for me! 👍🏻
