I’m in please

Do we vote for all the nominations that appeal to us or was I supposed to pick just one?

I’ve been voting for the ones that appeal to me. It’s too hard (for me) to just pick one

This is a good suggestion as it’s the newest of the CoHo books so could be a good introduction to her books for people!

I've just bought this, waiting for it to be delivered

I've read It End With Us and Ugly Love so far and loved both!

@ordinaryjelly looks like you’re our book club head librarian if you’re up for the job!

anyone want to help her out?!

Just don't quiz me on the Dewey Classification codes!

Happy for any help and/or suggestions.

@Libbylulu I was thinking we'd give a month for each book to be read, I'm well aware that we have all kinds of reading pace here and don't want it to become stressful for anyone to keep up, it's supposed to be fun afterall. Unless anyone has a better suggestion? I thought doing it by calender month, so this month we'd have one week less to read since we are still just picking our book. Am hoping we'll be more organised in future so we'll have picked next month's book ready for March 1st. Then the discussion of this month's book can kind of be ongoing alongside that. But like I said, if anyone has any suggestions please speak up. I want this to be enjoyable for us all.

I think voting for any that appeal to you.

If there's a tie we'll have to figure something out.

I think a month is perfect like you said we all read at our own pace and may have other books on the go

Totally agree. Shall we have the person whose book who was nominated start the discussion? Or do we just want to chime in once we’ve finished it?

My suggestion is Our House by Louise Candlish. I read it in 2018 but wouldn’t mind rereading as it’s soon to be a TV series with Martin Compston.

Right, we have a few books to choose from this month. We'll pick whichever one has the most likes on Monday at 7pm. I've direct linked to each books post below. I'm excited to see which will be out first selection. I'll post again on Monday evening to share which book has the most votes, then we'll have until the end of the month to read it. Next month I hope we'll be a bit more organised and ready to start March's book on March 1st and go by full calendar months.
