Bretnie | 838 comments I'd like to nominate Lean Fall Stand by Jon McGregor. We read Reservoir 13 a while back together and his writing seems to make for really good discussion. I see Hugh (and others here?) gave it 5 stars, so I'm intrigued!

Sorry, I had forgotten about the deadline for nominations, and it has now passed. We only had one nomination, but it is a very good one, so I propose we should choose it without looking for other candidates and going to a vote.

We need to do some folder maintenance before we can add the topic for this read. Please stand by for the discussion, Bretnie and fellow readers.

I have managed to get the new folder to the top of the list - I will do some indexing and archiving tomorrow or later in the week.
