October 12 is Moment of Frustration Day. To ease your frustration that the book you wanted to read was not chosen as a Fall Group Reads selection, read a book from the Fall Group Reads nominations that was not selected as the Fall Group Reads in its category. You may choose a book from any of the categories – it doesn’t have to be from the same category as the Group Reads book you chose (but it can be, if you’d like). The three books that were selected as Group Reads are not eligible.
