Ian | 9 comments Hi everyone! New guy here. Hope I'm not stealing anyone's thunder, but I think it would be fun to collectively pick a few titles to read this year and get some discussions going. Since this group doesn't seem to have a theme per se, I suppose the genre is wide open. I'd personally love to read any of the following, but I think this is usually done by group survey (yes/no? moderators?), so feel free to suggest others. Thanks!

The Martian by Andy Weir

The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

Exhalation by Ted Chiang

Before I Let You Go by Kelly Rimmer

NancyMagaly | 9 comments I’m in several groups that have Buddy reads where you either have 2 people read/discuss the same book or you have one book for the month and those who want, participate in the discussion:. I’ve also been a part of “pick one for me” where people wanting to participate provide their TBR list and someone selects 3 books for them to read for the month. I would be open to doing any of those or someone else’s creative ideas.

Ian | 9 comments Thanks NancyMagaly, those are all great suggestions. I’ve seen monthly reads in action elsewhere, and would be interested in either that or a Buddy Read, just not sure how to get that started in this group. In my others I’ve just jumped into the existing boards/discussions.

Above I threw out 5 titles that seem popular and that I’ll definitely be reading this year (The Martian / The Book Thief / Exhalation / Americanah / Before I Let You Go), so if anyone is keen to Buddy read & review, I’m game. Or otherwise, if we could get a few folks interested in something else, even better.

NancyMagaly | 9 comments I don’t mind starting a book discussion for February. I’ve read The Book Thief (loved it). I couldn’t find which “Before I Met You” as there were several. I like Americanah and Exhalation. I think there’s a way we can start a thread for the book discussion. I’ll check with a moderator

It's Before I Let You Go by Kelly Rimmer.
Before I Let You Go
If you are using a computer, you can hover your mouse over the book cover to see title and author. I don't know if you can do that on the phone app.
I prefer using Goodreads on my laptop. I dislike the app very much.

NancyMagaly | 9 comments Thank you! That sounds like a wonderful book! I’d love to have that as a book discussion

Nancy West (nancygwest) | 35 comments Which book, Nancy Magaly?


message 8: by Ian (new)

Ian | 9 comments Hi Nancy West. NancyMagaly was referring to Before I Let You Go by Kelly Rimmer, one of my suggestions for the monthly book discussion. See the posts below.

Don’t forget to repost your 3 suggestions to the separate “Book Discussion Poll” thread.

Thanks
