Richard Kenneth Conde | 310 comments Hi everyone. I hope you are all safe on this ongoing pandemic, and having some good reading materials to occupy you on you free time. Again, thanks for joining the group. At this time I am healthy enough again to continue this reading group. As you know with my ongoing health issues I was unable to maintain the reading group. For those still interested, welcome back. This will be for our group's official fifth monthly book discussion for September 2021.

Please suggest two books. You can suggest any genre you want (classics, fantasy, mystery, thriller, sci-fi, YA, contemporary, horror, non-fiction, memoirs, etc.). If you suggest more than two, then only the first two books you list will be included. After we reach 50 book suggestions or 1-week's or so worth of books suggestions (whichever comes first), then I will create a poll and then all our members will vote their choice in the "Polls" section of the group page which I will also send the link to the members for their easy reference. The winning choice will be our official 5th Group's Book Discussion for September 2021. The runner-up coming in second place will be our optional book discussion.

Thank you for your time. Have fun, enjoy, and most importantly stay safe.

1] Normal People by Sally Rooney
2] Open Water by Caleb Azumah Nelson
