November Additional Read Nomination ***CLOSED***
date
newest »


The men and women of each family relate their versions of events and we are drawn into their lives as they become players in a tragedy on the grandest scale. As Kingsolver says of Hillary Jordan, "Her characters walked straight out of 1940s Mississippi and into the part of my brain where sympathy and anger and love reside, leaving my heart racing. They are with me still.
Sarah - When I decided to do this 'theme' I did think to myself that you'd still be able to nominate the book :)

Hey Misha - Unfortunately you've chosen a book in a series read, #4, and therefore will not count.

Outlander

I'm curious about the book & the TV series and I don't want to start the TV series before I read the book :)
I've never read/seen a time travel series I didn't love. True story.
I still need to read a "V" book for my A-Z challenge, so I'm going to go with Vicious by V.E. Schwab.
A masterful, twisted tale of ambition, jealousy, betrayal, and superpowers, set in a near-future world.
Victor and Eli started out as college roommates—brilliant, arrogant, lonely boys who recognized the same sharpness and ambition in each other. In their senior year, a shared research interest in adrenaline, near-death experiences, and seemingly supernatural events reveals an intriguing possibility: that under the right conditions, someone could develop extraordinary abilities. But when their thesis moves from the academic to the experimental, things go horribly wrong. Ten years later, Victor breaks out of prison, determined to catch up to his old friend (now foe), aided by a young girl whose reserved nature obscures a stunning ability. Meanwhile, Eli is on a mission to eradicate every other super-powered person that he can find—aside from his sidekick, an enigmatic woman with an unbreakable will. Armed with terrible power on both sides, driven by the memory of betrayal and loss, the archnemeses have set a course for revenge—but who will be left alive at the end?
In Vicious, V. E. Schwab brings to life a gritty comic-book-style world in vivid prose: a world where gaining superpowers doesn’t automatically lead to heroism, and a time when allegiances are called into question.'

So Cool. Will wait and see.

Are you looking for suggestions for a "B" book that you could nominate or for someone else that wants to nominate a "B" book?

Nope, I just noticed it was the only letter we haven't covered.

This book is so good! I read it so quickly because I couldn't put it down. Also the movie starring Nicole Kidman and Colin Firth comes out at the end of October.
