Bookmarks Subscribers discussion

Please use this thread to nominate a book that we haven't read thus far with the group that appeared in a prior Bookmarks Subscribers issue.

This thread will close on January 18 and the poll will go up that same date.

I nominate In One Person by John Irving.

Thanks for getting us started, Tiffani.

loved it!

I am going to re nominate My Sister lives on the Mantelpiece by Anabel Pitcher. I learned about this book before it was available in the U.S. from the website Lovereading.co.uk so when I went to visit friends in England, I bought it there. I passed my copy on to several of my friends and really encouraged them to read it. I'm so glad it's available here because it is really a beautifully written book about family, grief, and letting go (I'd say this was a 3 hankie book)Even if we don't pick it for group read, I encourage everyone to read it.

I can't find these in the Bookmark's magazines to read about them there -- they may be there, but not easy to find. Could we have the issues listed (and maybe page)? That would help me. Thanks.

Okay - take that back about My Sister Lives on the Mantelpiece - I see it was in the Nov/Dec issue. I just missed it.

Sure thing, Lynn. We can have folks list the issue and page number. That would be helpful to me as well, because I generally have to go back and page through the issue to confirm eligibility of the nomination.

Thanks for the idea :)

I nominate by Kevin Powers. It was a Bookmarks Selection from the Nov/Dec 2012 issue.
