The Martian is listed in the bookshelf, above. Did this group already read it last year?
I'll Give You The Sun By: Jandy Nelson would be a great book for June.

Hi Lori, American Gods is on the group bookshelf, so it might have already been a group read.
Best,

The categories for June and July are:
June - LGBTQ theme (a book written an LGBTQ author by or centering around an LGBTQ character)
July - Science Fiction theme (sci-fi or space opera books)
If you nominate the book, and the book is chosen as a group read, you agree to lead the discussion! Don't worry, it's not hard, and we'll love you all the more for it!
Please do not nominate a book more than once. A book can only be voted on once, so multiple nominations within this thread are not counted.
Only ONE nomination per month per person.
Please be sure to post the title, author, and the month you are nominating it for.
Ideally, you can type it as follows -
August - Room - Emma Donoghue
If your post does not have those three things, it will not be counted.
Are you ready?
I'll accept nominations through Monday the 11th. If we get tons of nominations, I may pull the plug on it a little early, so get them in as soon as you can!
Once I close nominations I will create the polls and let you know when it is time to vote!
Hit us with your best noms!
**Important note: At no time is it acceptable for an author to nominate one of his/her own books for the monthly group read. Likewise, it is not acceptable to "push" nominations or votes within this group. It also follows that "a nomination for a nomination" is not acceptable. If I suspect a push, or inappropriate actions have taken place within the group read nominations or votes, I reserve the right to deem those nominations or votes as ineligible.
