It's time to nominate books for our BOTM in May. Please nominate books that you would like to read with the group in May here.

Rules:
�� Please nominate only ONE book.
�� Books do not need to be seconded.
�� Do not nominate books that have already been read as a BOTM.
�� Do not nominate books that are the second or later in a series.
�� Do not use this thread for author self-promotion.
�� No erotica.


Additional tips -
Please use a book link, if possible. If it's not possible, please include the author's name. I want to make sure I include the correct books! You can add a synopsis from the books Goodread's page, if you like, but it is not necessary.

Directions to add a book link:
This can only be done when online and not when using an app.

When typing in the text box, on top of the box there is a link that says "add book/author". Click on that and a new box will appear. Type your book name in the space provided and click on "search". When you see your book, click the "add" button to the right of it.

To add a link that just has the book name, you can click "link" at the bottom of the "add book/author" box. The link is the automatic setting. To add a book cover, click on "cover" at the bottom left.

Five Quarters of the Orange

Edgar and Lucy

Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman

Hi, I'm new here and trying to find my way around. Is there a place to see all of the previous BOTMs? I don't want to nominate a previous BOTM but I'm not sure where to find those.
Looking forward to getting back into a reading group!!
Thanks!

Hi, Emily. Welcome to the group. :) You just click on "bookshelf" in the upper righthand corner of the page. Here is a link for you: /group/books.... All of the books we have read are there.

You sure can!

Sorry, Anna. We've already read that one. Would you like to nominate something else?

I think I want to nominate Stalking Jack the Ripper again, hehe. :)

I nominate

That has already been nominated, Christine. Would you like to nominate something different? Or you can just wait for the poll and vote for it.

I'll nominate another book and thanks for letting me know

I nominate

Christine - The books listed above under "Nominations" have already been nominated by members and will be in the poll. If you'd like to nominate something different choose a book that is not already listed above. A poll will be posted around April 7th and will have all of the above books in it to vote on.

Oh ok and thanks

Yes, although it slays me that I missed it.
How about Burial Rites? It works for the popsugar challenge "A book about an interesting woman".

I would like to nominate:

The Underground Railroad

Thanks!
Emily
