Ok, since the month of November is almost over, we will go ahead and start with the month of December... This thread will be to recommend any books you would like to read in December and I will go ahead and set up a thread for voting on which book we all would like to read. I will do that at the end of November, that way in the first week of December we will find out what book we all have chosen.. Well what the majority of us have chosen. Lol...So go ahead and recommend. I will love seeing what all you have in mind...

I havent read a good book in a long while.....therefore, I will agree with any chosen book. Thanks ladies.

I agree.... my sisters keeper is the only good book other than flags of our fathers I have read recently

'walking across egypt' by clyde edgerton and 'dinner at the homesick restaurant' by anne tyler are both great books.

Let's try to see if there are any books that no one has read yet.. I haven't read this book by Emily Giffin....Something blue. Check it out and see what ya'll think...

My Sister's Keeper is such a good book!! I would recommend that to anyone. :)

i've actually been wanting to read "something blue" or "my sister's keeper", but i'm open to suggestions! :thumbsup

The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde is really good.

These are on Oprah's book list:
Darkness Visible by William Styron
Saving Grace by Sarah Brady

im open to anything we choose!

I'm open to anything and I'll read books over again, so if I've already read it, that's fine with me.

Ok, I went upstairs and found 2 that are pretty good. The Virgin's Lover by Philippa Gregory and Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden.

How about any of these?

Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas by James Patterson

The Red Tent by Anita Diamont or any of her other books

Angela's Ashes or something else by Frank mcCourt

A Wedding in December or anything else by Anita Shreve

The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold

The Celestine Prophecy by James Redfield

The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd

The Kite Runner by Khaled Hossein

Gods in Alabama by Joshlyn Jackson

anything by Meg Cabot

something blue seems ok

I have Something Blue, and I haven't read it yet... I recommend that one too... Keep up with the recommends and at the end of Nov, we can go ahead a take a poll or select by vote, the book that we all would like to read in Dec... You guys have awesome selections...

Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt -- this is a book I've read about 6 or 7 times and I could seriously read it over and over. There are two books that come after it called Tis' and Teacher Man. The Cider House Rules is great as well. But I've read those.

I put The Wedding by Nicholas Sparks, The Aeneid by Virgil and Great Expections by Dickens on my Christmas list along with very long list of other books but the rest are all fantasy, history/fantasy romance or Irish history! I've never read the three I mentioned but am interested, if one was chosen I would take it off my list and buy it. lol

For anyone who likes fantasy, check out The Wheel of Time Series by Robert Jordan. Currently there are 12 books and 2 more to come until the series is finished. GREAT books!

Another that is just wonderful is The Bridges of Madison County. I read it awhile ago and sobbed for days. lol I wouldn't mind reading it again.

My recommendation is going to be for anything by Zane.....once you read those books, I swear, you're hooked!

I was reading on Barnes and Nobles... There is this book called "The Woodsman's Daughter" by Gwyn Hyman Rubio And I thought it might be something we could read...I think it would be interesting.

Marley & Me by John Grogan is great, I've also read Something Blue it is very good (so is Something Borrowed)

oooo, marley and me. is that the one with the dog? if so, i've been dying to read that book!

How about any of these?

Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas by James Patterson

The Red Tent by Anita Diamont or any of her other books

Angela's Ashes or something else by Frank mcCourt

A Wedding in December or anything else by Anita Shreve

The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold

The Celestine Prophecy by James Redfield

The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd

The Kite Runner by Khaled Hossein

Gods in Alabama by Joshlyn Jackson

anything by Meg Cabot

Anything you guys choose is great with me....havn't had much time to really see what is new out there right now...
Have to agree with Debra...Angela's Ashes is a great one..I suggest thought that if this is chosen that we follow up the next month with 'Tis which is pretty much the ending to Angela's Ashes
Also, The Lovely Bones is a great book...the first 2 paragraphs pull you in and don't let go....I own this book but haven't read it in about 3 years so I would definitely be up to reading this again!!!

like Judy said...i heard Lovely Bones is a great book. i think we should read it :)

oooo, marley and me. is that the one with the dog? if so, i've been dying to read that book!

Yes Marley & Me is about the guy (John Grogan) and he gets a yellow lab (Marley) and he's just a crazy dog and it's so good I would highly recommend it to anyone!

These are all the book recommended by ya'll for the December book.. Let me know which book you each wanna read. Only pick one that way I can go and tally up the book that has the most votes, then we will start from there. I tried doing a poll but it wouldn't do it. Lol...

Sounds cool. I'll see if the library has a copy.

For future months...are we going to pick in advance so we can order books off the internet and such? Like picking January's book in mid-Dec. so everyone can order it and so on? The library and bookstore are crap here so I end up ordering everything and sometimes it takes 2 weeks to get here....
I'd love to participate if it is feasible.

yea, i was sorta wondering the same thing.

I got mine! :)

I have mine! I've read it already but need to brush up on it!

Let me post a warning though!This book is very sensitive & talks about the murder of a child & her views from heaven as stated in the book jacket. There are some descriptions in there especially at the beginning that might be upsetting to some!

I can't wait to talk about this with you all!
