Awesome, Holly! I second your nomination.:)

Holly wrote: "I nominate "

I'm in, I have just pre-ordered that one and Black House in hardcover, coming in November.

I don't have time to participate in this now, unless it happens to be something I need to research for my novel. The one I'm currently trying to get through (before I have to return it to the library) for the purpose is a book I don't think you'd find too exciting: "Life of an Oak: An Intimate Portrait." Lol. An oak tree plays a pretty prominent role in my story, so I wanted to be accurate about it. And there's a lot more to learn about these trees than I could have imagined. *throws a few acorns your way* :) Enjoy your books! I have to read more portions of Chicago Manual of Style and then do some more editing for my class.

Awesome! Thanks Dustin!

Awesome!

I would be willing to read the tailsman as long as I can find it at my local library for I do not own that book.

Holly wrote: "Dustin wrote: "Holly wrote: "I nominate "

Awesome! Thanks Dustin!"

You are very welcome! I've been wanting to re-read it, anyway, in preparation for Black House.:)

Ooh! Ooh! Read my book! Read my book!



Yes, that was a shameless promotion. All in favor say Aye? ;)

I do own The Talisman but I've never read it.

I'd like to nominate Boy's Life and Carrion Comfort. I've been dying to read these for some time now! I actually have started Carrion Comfort but stopped when I had my surgery and just haven't picked it back up yet. A group read would be a great excuse to! lol

*Lament!* *Weep!* I still can't find the time to read a book for fun! Part of it is my habit of hanging out on Goodreads, but I mostly blame my schooling and my novel. I remember my mother reading The Talisman, saying that in it, a character could cause a catastrophre by doing some some small, everyday thing. Creepy! That is all I know about that book, other than the author's name.

Hi, Christopher! Since you're interested in Carrion Comfort, you should join Janie's Bookworm Buddies group, as they're currently reading it as a group.:)

I think we still have some time. Let's give it some time, in case anyone else has any others they'd like to nominate.

It seems there are a lot of votes for The Talisman. Do you think we should just skip the poll and go with it, or wait and see if any other nominations are made?

Ok, sounds good.

Holly wrote: "I nominate "

I also nominate Black House!! woot-woot..

Of course, World War Z is awesome too... mmmm

Well if The Talisman is indeed the group read, I think it should be followed by Black House (for obvious reasons, IMO.)

i think i voted for 3... i will stick with The Talisman, especially if the possibility of Black House following it up... :D

I should have the nominations posted relatively shortly. There's time yet, so I thought it best to wait awhile, so everyone can nominate whichever book(s) they'd like..:)

The Talisman and Black House for sure!

Dustin wrote: "Well if The Talisman is indeed the group read, I think it should be followed by Black House (for obvious reasons, IMO.)"

I totally agree, Dustin!

I nominate Storm of the Century by Stephen King.

Victor wrote: "I nominate Storm of the Century by Stephen King."

Nice one, Victor!

Have you read The Talisman and/or Black House?

Thanks!
No I haven't. I don't even own them. I would like to get them soon, but every copy at half price is very destroyed:(

Courtney wrote: "anyone in to ya or mg fiction?"

Hi, Courtney, that's a great idea, IMO!

Has anyone read The Knife of Never Letting Go? I read it earlier this year, and absolutely LOVED it! There are two other books in the series, along with a Prequel.

That's a bummer! :(

Oh, indeed, Alondra! I absolutely adore them, The Talisman in particular. Travelin' Jack and Wolf are AMAZING characters, IMO. I've only read Black House once, shortly after its publication. As a result, I remember very little about it, and am just itching for a re-read!

Terrific news!

I'm kind of surprised that Black House isn't as well received as it rightly deserves. It's written differently, yeah, and the first 60 or so pages are kind of hard to get into, but I from what I can remember, I really liked it a LOT. It was great to see Jack again!

i know. the old guy in the 'rest home'... what a creepy psycho... eeekkkk

Will you post a new board when the decision is made?

Yes, we will.

Will I have nightmares if we read Talisman? Seriously, I'm game for anything & always glad to have a group read of something new for me.
