Bailey's/Orange Women's Fiction Group discussion

Nominate away for August - feel free to nominate books even if they have been nominated before.

If anyone would like to do the suggestion of reading The Goldfinch over 2 months then please nominate that book again and state a 2 month read!

thanks everyone!

I nominate:
The Signature of All Things by Elizabeth Gilbert

It is a historical novel looking at natural science, art, religion and the role of women, set all over the world.

I liked her very popular book Eat, Pray, Love.

so good!!! i would actually re-read this if it wins the poll.

i read it last year, and i think it was the book that surprised me the most in 2013 (in a good way). i have not read EPL, but had read gilbert's previous novel Stern Men (and then i went back and re-read 'stern men' after TSoAT - i could see where the new novel evolved from, so that was cool.) i have been recommending TSoAT a lot and, so far, with great results. :)

I would like to nominate The Strangler Vine

Is there a thread to nominate from the archive list, or am I just being particularly incompetent today?

Yup, incompetent! Thanks Jennifer.

I have that one on my to-read list as well.

I'll re-nominate as I feel it might suit summer reading!

Anyone want to nominate another book?

If not I think we might put the polls up next week to give people time to vote and then get hold of the winning book for August.

Slight change of plan.
I have set up the poll for August today, please save further nominations for September.
