Jayme | 4630 comments You have voted and the winning theme for June is "Books with a Body of Water on the Cover"

You can nominate a book now.

If you don't want to nominate your own book, you can second someone else's nomination instead, and that will count as your own nomination, and that book will be entered an extra time in random.org - giving the book an additional chance to make the cut.

Nominations can be seconded multiple times by different people . If you second a nomination, please make clear that is what you are doing. E.g. If I nominate "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", you need to state "I second Harry Potter and the Philosopher's stone".

A couple of points to consider when nominating:
- Please check the YLTO Group Book Shelf to ensure we haven't already read the book in the last 2 years before nominating it.

- In case of series, only the first book in a series is allowed, even if later books could be considered as stand-alone

- One nomination/seconding per person.


Only 5 books will be selected to be in the poll when it comes to voting.

Each of the chosen group read books will have a discussion leader assigned to help facilitate the discussion. The discussion leader will be the person who originally nominated the book, or someone who seconded their nomination if they do not wish to do it.

Current Book Nominations:
Every Summer After - Nistha (Jayme)
The Ruin - Janice (Sharon, Katrisa)
Happy Place - Kristie (Fiona)
Go As A River - Odette

Nominations will end May 18.

Lydia, to post a link to the book, click on the link above the comment box that says "add book/author". A search function will pop up. You can select the title or the image at the bottom of the screen.

Kristie | 19435 comments I really want to read Happy Place, but I've only read one other book by this author. Based on that book, I am guessing there may be some intimate scenes. If that's allowable, I'll nominate that. :)

Edit: covers
Happy Place by Emily Henry Happy Place by Emily Henry

I have this book right now from my library. I haven't started it yet, so I checked the due date in case it becomes our book read. I have 3 days to read it, if it wins (it's due back 6/3). Oh the suspense!!

And it there are some naughty bits, we'll close our eyes. 😉

Hey Lydia - the book that you are nominating is the second book in the Climate Quartet series. For the group reads we only nominate the first book in a series. I will have to remove your nomination. Sorry, Lydia.

I only noticed because I was checking out the nominations to add to my already overflowing TBR and saw that I hadn't read the first book yet. lol

Lydia - You can still read it for the theme even though it can't be a group read, just discuss in the theme thread.
