Hello all! Starting up the monthly discussions for January 2018 book-of-the-month suggestions. This discussion is for a brand new category called BOOKSHELF CATCH-UP.

This is a catch-up book club, after all. For this category, you can nominate any book that the group has previously read. For a list of books that the group has previously read and discussed, please see the bookshelf.

I'll start off by suggesting a group read that I personally missed - Dune by Frank Herbert.

seconding Dune

I'd like to nominate The Shining by Stephen King

My bad. :-) I posted something as if I were in another thread! Just removed it!

Guys, especially new members, like our moderator said above, you can have a look at the "Bookshelf" link on the top right hand corner of the page and see the pr..."

That's why I nominated it for the Catch-Up category....

Not fast enough, though... :-) Sorry, Sarah!

That's ok! You're just trying to keep everyone on the right path.

It did make me do a double check, lol.

I had all three threads open at once in different tabs, so it did make me think I had posted in the wrong one for a minute.

Would also like to nominate Small Great Things by Jodi Picoult

I second The Shining!
I'm pumped to read more Steven King after IT!

I second Dune as well

I'll second Dune and The Shining and nominate Lord of the Flies.

I would like to nominate The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

SECOND Lord of the Flies stalled halfway through

The Kite Runner.

the book thief sounds like a good idea? but i dont know i feel like picking something extra ordinary for starting the new year but i can think of a book like that

what about all the light we cannot see? or the martian or the sun also rises?

I'll nominate Good Omens again. There's a TV miniseries coming sometime in 2018, so I'd really love to re-read it.

Second A Man Called Ove

I'll second Dune as well

I'll second Dune. Quite a shame I've never read it before :)

"All the Light..." is already on the poll going until Nov 6! So, those of you wanting to read it, go there and vote for it! I've done that! :-)

I second Lord of the Flies

This is a little off-topic, but I love this idea. It is so fitting for a Catch-Up Book Club to have a "Catch Up to the book club" read :)

I second Neverwhere. I listened to Dune earlier this year (after trying to read it some time ago) and I loved it so much. If it ends up getting picked, I'll definitely read it again - this time via my physical copy.
