Hi all! It's time to get the recommendations for the January 2011 group read books!

Starting in January, we will have a fiction and a non-fiction choice. You do not have to read both but it may be fun to try it!

So get in those Fiction and Non-Fiction suggestions!!

Great, so happy about that option beginning in 2012!!!!!

Lady Day ~ me too!

How about the Steve Jobs biography by Walter Isaacson for the non-fiction?

Thanks Beth!

I've been pretty interested in reading I'm adding that as a nomination.

I'm not sure I was completely clear about the new way we are doing things. Each member can nominate a fiction AND non-fiction book. Make sense? We'll have a poll for each genre then members can choose if they want to read one or both of the monthly selections.

Nonfiction - Blood, Bones & Butter: The Inadvertent Education of a Reluctant Chef by Gabrielle Hamilton

Fiction - The Cats Table by Michael Ondaatje
