The Book Basilisks discussion

I know it's still the beginning of September but I think it'll be better if we start early so people can get more time to vote and acquire the books! So please nominate one book for next month's group read :)

I'll Give You the Sun- Jandy Nelson

I haven't read this yet but I read her other novel The Sky is Everywhere and I was a fan of her writing.

I nominate the Daughter of Smoke & Bone by Laini Taylor

I'd like to nominate Blindness by José Saramago.

I'd like to nominate The Martian by Andy Weir

Oooh I've been meaning to read The Martian before the movie comes out! Great choice, Julia :)

I nominate Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman by Haruki Murakami because I've never read anything from Murakami and I want to start with this particular book.

I'd like to nominate Hold Still by Nina Lacour!

i nominate The Secret History Of The World By Jonthan Black.

Nominations will close next week on the 17th so go ahead and put your nominations for those of you who haven't!

I nominate Holes by Louis Sacher

Oooh I love that book, Alisha!

Same, I've read the book a few times and watched the movie even more times. Shia Labeouf was my childhood crush bc of holes

Omg I don't think I've ever watched the movie before??? I really need to because the story is wonderful.

Have you read the spin off? Small steps, it's with Theodore and his life after Camp Green Lake. I still need to read Stanley Yelnats' survival guide to camp green lake!! But yeah I've loved that book and move since I was little and it's one of my all time faves XD Madam Zeroni is bae

There's a spin off?? I had no idea.

Yes, I have the book! I read it like a super long time ago though, so I dont remember much about the story. But I still think Holes was better, of course!

Oooh I've heard so many good things about that book, Rai!!

Is there a particular genre to stick to? What about The Magicians by Lev Grossman?

No, I there are no specific genres, in fact I actually prefer books with various genres we haven't read before! The Magicians sound like something really interesting as well :)

I would love to read gunslinger by stephen king.

ouuu yes i love Stephen Kings books!

Great choice Madeleine, I'm currently reading one of his books now, it's called Cell!

By the way, nominations are closed for this month, you can vote for your books on the home page or go to the polls page of the group. You have until Sept 25th to vote, so hurry up! :D
