Goodreads Ireland discussion

This is where you nominate your chosen books for the October 2012 monthly read.

Good reading,

Declan.

2012 ;) you are ahead of yourself Declan......

Well, at least it gives you plenty of time to order it.

I'm more than a little embarrassed, actually.

I hope I didn't put that in the email, too.

Yes it does........haaha, i am heading to the states mid october, so hopefully i will have more access to normal life and books...........didnt see it in the email........ah sure we need something to giggle at!!

I hope you enjoy your trip. Bon voyage!

I hope we find a happier book than "Lucy Gault."

Where are you going to be in the states?

Still no nominations, guys.

Still recovering from Lucy. Just couldn't get through it. What is the funniest book by an Irish writer that people have read? Not just chuckle or wry grin funny - rather I'm thinking, laugh out loud snort milk inelegantly funny.

Monthly reads are open to all genres and writers of all nationalities, but if someone were to suggest a good Irish comedy I could get behind it.

I would like to nominate The Snowman.

@ Declan I didn't even notice, until Poilin pointed it out :-)

Thanks, Sam. It was still a rookie mistake.

The book looks interesting. This is the first time I've ever heard of the series, though. It's completely new to me.

Love these books, have just started to get into the Detective genre, especially the scandanavian ones.

So far it's the only nomination. It might get in without a challenge.

You should nominate something.
