Call for Nominations: Sweet Read Apr-Jun 2015
 
Sweet Reads for 2015: Each quarter we will hold nominations and vote for one book to be our 'Sweet Read' for the quarter. Once we have a book selected, there will be two threads in our Sweet Reads forum, one for general chit chat about the book and reading progress, but no spoilers and another for book discussion, spoilers allowed.

Post your nomination(s) for our next Sweet Read of 2015 here. If someone has already nominated your choice, go ahead and 'second' their nomination, just in case we get lots of nominations and I have to narrow the field for the vote

Nominations close at the end of the day Monday, Mar. 23rd.

Voting will be Mar. 25-30.

LOL Since I nominated the clunker that we read first quarter, I'm sitting out nominations this time! I'll be happy to vote when the choices are listed though!

Misty Cato 03-16-2015 05:21 PM

LOL - I liked it! Though I seem to be in the minority.

Misty Cato 03-16-2015 05:24 PM

Has everybody already read The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern? If not, I'll throw it in the ring since it is next on my toead list.

Oooh, that's on my toead list too, Nikki. Looks good.

Libby Pritchett 03-16-2015 07:17 PM

Oh, BOTH of those sound good! I need to add them to my TBR list even if we don't read them as a group!

I read the Night Circus about 3 years ago...I really liked it.

Keely~B 03-17-2015 11:01 AM

I've read both Night Circus and Station Eleven, they're both awesome.

Heddy your suggestion looks good, I'll add it to my TBR pile regardless ;)

This is how I always felt after picking a dud for my real life book club! Too funny!

abm234 03-18-2015 07:27 AM

Good to know Keely and Nikki! I'm usually too cheap to buy hardcover but I've really been wanting to read this!

Me too!!

Misty Cato 03-20-2015 07:31 PM

Bumping this. I'm going to pull Night Circus out of the running, since so many have already read it.

We could use a few more nominations so we have a good variety to vote on.

nikkiARNGwife 03-20-2015 08:22 PM

I'm going to nominate this one again...

luckyme 03-20-2015 08:29 PM

I'd like to read this one as well:
