Between the Lines discussion

I will open this thread in a few weeks. But thought I would get it up so you can be contemplating what book you would like to nominate to the group.

Nominations are open. Nominations will close on October 25th then I'll get the poll up and running!

The Gathering Storm (Wheel of Time, #12; A Memory of Light, #1) by robert Jordan/Brandon Sanderson

OOOHHH OCt. 25th is my B-day!!!!

Anyways...I nominate Bitter Sweets by Roopa Farooki

The River King by Alice Hoffman .

The Deep End of the Ocean - Jacquelyn Mitchard

The True Story of Hansel and Gretel by Louise Murphy.

The Remains of the Day - Kazuo Ishiguro

Sounds good!

There are actually several really good suggestions this month! I like both Grotesque and The true story of Hansel and Gretel and volume 12 of Whee of Time - but as much as I would like to read the new Wheel of Time, it will have to wait till I have read the first 11 in that series (I've finished 3 so far...). But the other two suggestions are so good that I will refrain from suggesting something else this month.

Fiona, have you read Out fits the bill of gruesome Japanese crime (perpetrated by regular people). Not my cup of tea but might be yours (our bookclub was very divided by it).

I will toss a nomination into the ring: Cloudstreet A Novel I love books by Tim Winton and haven't read this one yet.

I have been meaning to read OUT I own it and believe it or not it was recommended to me by Junot Diaz! (he came to our book club at work)

Grotesque is already on my to-read list so it could easily be the one I vote for (however, so is the Hansel & Gretel one...) - but I think I'm more into some weird Japanese stuff right now :-)

Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton

Delurking ... I'd like to suggest A Suitable Boy. But it's very long (kind of War and Peace sized!)

Do you have a limit on page length? Genre? What are the guidelines for your monthly reads?

Is this thread even alive? October 25th has been and gone ...

Same question as Veronica.

Um I'll just throw a nomimnation out there in case this is still open...lol
The Gargoyle by Andrew davidson

hmm why isn't the poll up yet?

I vote for Remains of the Day. Not sure if we vote simply by comment here, or via another avenue.

Maybe you can add the month to the poll title.

Thanks Fiona

Thanks, Fiona :D

Hurrah!
