if any one has a book they would like me to include in next weeks poll I post for september's book of the month please post them here.(if your shy you can pm me)

please keep in mind that I can only make the poll with a couple handfuls of nominations,so if there are to many nominations some will have to excluded perhaps if you see one nominated you agree with say you'd like that one as well, the more a book is wanted it will be surely placed in the poll

one nomination per person please to try to keep the poll at ten if one person nominates more than one book the first will be included in the poll or if another person also agrees with another book that should be included.

also if there is to few nominations I am going to use the most popular votes from July's poll as the fillers.

I want our book club to be enjoyed by everyone who wishes to participate all your suggestions and ideas are very much appreciated!

~bkk

p.s.~ Keep book in the confines of the forums pg-13 rating.
Book should be in print and available in paperback edition.

HockeyHorror
Jack London- The Call of the Wild

good book.

Bookworm
Oh funny, HockeyHorror, I was just about to suggest
"White Fang" by Jack London.
Jacky-boy was always a good writer.

Baylin
I'll go for either of those! smile

'The curious incident of the dog in the night time' is also a very good book!

Phoenix
'Children of the Dust' by Louise Lawrence

At this rate, I'm going to nominate The Stand again as I have had barely enough time to read through it this month. Judging from the lack of responses on that thread, I'd say others are having the same issue. That being said, I don't think I'll be nominating It anytime soon, seeing as it clocks in at 1090 pages...

Seriously? I'll nominate Hitchhikker's Guide to the Galaxy this month (the late, great Douglas Adams). A much shorter read than The Stand.

a gathering light by jennifer donnelly

When Mattie is given the letters by a guest at the hotel in which she has a summer job she thinks that the giver is simply upset. But the next day when the woman is found drowned in Big Moose Lake Mattie has to decide if she will read the letters, or burn them as the woman requested. But Mattie has problems enough of her own as she is growing up and trying to decide on her future. Her desire to be a writer and her dreams of life outside the small rural community in which she has always lived are beginning to overwhelm her. Will Mattie make it away from home? Will she leave the family and boyfriend who both love and smother her? Will she be like her friend and settle to married life or like her other friend and mentor the poet Ms Wilcox. Slowly the two stories merge to one amazing conclusion as Mattie finds the courage to make very important decisions. Set in 1906 and built around the real life murder of a young woman in a popular holiday resort this novel is touching, surprising, moving and compelling.


i think it is a teen novel but it has got much critical acclaim and looks excellent

'master and margaret' by bulchakow

big gay kirk
Hitchhikers, Dog in the Nighttime,, Children of the Dust.... with great books like that, what can i nominate...?? With the Englishman's love of the futile and lost causes, and using my trademark unpredictability, I wish to nominate...... The Last Unicorn, by Peter Beagle......

BadKitty
^lol! it will win one of these days!

we didn't make any rules on re-nominating previous books from the club...I don't have a problem with that but if we ever have that again and it win I'll use the same discussion thread though..we don't need more than one right?

Stealth Agent
InkHeart by Cornelia Funke

"My Life"

By Bill Clinton

Vampy
bulhakow with a 'h' and 'w', Suzie.

I nominate 'A clockwork Orange' by Anthony Burgess. It's not exactly what you call a pg-13 book, but it's very good.

I was kidding on the Stand renominate, BK wink ... I'm still going with Hitchhiker's Guide this month. But I have no opposition to someone else putting it back on again... and yes, I would think we could use the same thread again if it happened to win twice in a row.
