For these nominations, the book must of been released in the 2013 year :)

Would you like to renominate?

Didn't Gone Girl come out longer ago then 2014?

It won a GR choice award in 2012.... So, yes.

amber wrote: "Didn't Gone Girl come out longer ago then 2014?"

Yes, Amber is correct. Amy did you want to renominate? I can understand the confusion. The new "movie version" cover of the book was released in 2014, but Flynn actually pub. in 2012 :)

Maybe Someday by Colleen Hoover

The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History

I second the Hello from the Gillespies

Rachel, sorry, bear with me, to clarify, your original message said "released in 2014", but then a few messages up you said "2013"??? So, if the book was "published" in 2014, does that count? Sorry I'm so confused :)

The Shock of the Fall
Sorry, it was on a list for 2014, but I see now it was released in 2013.

How about this: Rooms

The High Divide by Lin Enger (published Sept 2014)

Cold Calls by Charles Benoit is my nomination.

Hi! Yes the book should be published in 2014.

I guess I should of clarified the differences between published and released. Books can be re-released, especially ones with movie adaptions coming out (i.e. Gone Girl). Please nominate books that are published in 2014 :)

I nominate the silent sister by Diane chamberlain. It's sounds so fascinating and like it's going to be a can't put down page turner!!

Someone already nominated that one. We don't second things in this group all the noms go to the poll. So you could pick something else if you wanted to. :)

Oh oops sorry I must have missed that. I nominate The Miniaturist by Jessie Burton instead. :)

No reason to be sorry. :)

Take Me with You by Catherine Ryan Hyde looks good.
