Time to nominate your additional monthly read for November!

Using the letters of the month, nominate a book beginning in those letters (disregarding a, an, the etc), therefore the title of the book needs to being with:
N | O | V | E | M | B | R


- Please make sure to include book link or book cover link. This can be done by clicking on the 'add book / author' link above the comment box. If not possible (because you're using the mobile app), then make sure you include both book title and author.
Your nomination will not count if not in either of these formats.

- Please refrain from nominating any book that has already been a group read or scheduled to read as part of the 카지노싸이트 Choice Award Book Club. These can be found at /group/books...

- Please do not nominate a second (or later) book in a series read. Your nomination will be not counted if you do.

- Only one nomination per person will be accepted.

- Nominations will close on Sunday 21st, 5pm GMT and will be followed by a poll.

Sarah | 1467 comments Mudbound by Hillary Jordan -In Jordan's prize-winning debut, prejudice takes many forms, both subtle and brutal. It is 1946, and city-bred Laura McAllan is trying to raise her children on her husband's Mississippi Delta farm—a place she finds foreign and frightening. In the midst of the family's struggles, two young men return from the war to work the land. Jamie McAllan, Laura's brother-in-law, is everything her husband is not—charming, handsome, and haunted by his memories of combat. Ronsel Jackson, eldest son of the black sharecroppers who live on the McAllan farm, has come home with the shine of a war hero. But no matter his bravery in defense of his country, he is still considered less than a man in the Jim Crow South. It is the unlikely friendship of these brothers-in-arms that drives this powerful novel to its inexorable conclusion.

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.

Sarah Nine Coaches Waiting by Mary Stewart. It's a bit late for a Halloween read, but it could be a post-Halloween read.


ally  ¯\(ツ)/¯ (allykennedy) | 1002 comments I'm gonna nominate

Outlander Outlander (Outlander, #1) by Diana Gabaldon

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.

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.'

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

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.

Jennifer | 19 comments I am hoping to read it before I see the movie. A group read would help motivate me.
