Book Club choices will be announced 2 months prior to when the book will be read. For example, March book of the month will be selected and posted in early January. This is to allow time for people to get their copy. Books are often cheaper if you don't mind waiting a while to receive them.
New releases won't be selected for a book of the month due to the cost.
There is an open thread in this board where you can nominate books to be considered for Book of the Month. We welcome you doing this but respectfully ask that it is not a book that you've already read.
Anyone taking part, should let us know in the thread for the book. Keep us updated on your progress even if you don't like it and abandon the book. Discussion points will be posted at the end of the month, earlier if everyone has indicated that they've finished. Please do not start discussions until everyone has read the book.
Enjoy!

Guidelines for nominating books for Book Club.I have now set a short criteria for nominating books that will come into effect on 1st September 2021 1. Book nominated must have a star rating above 3 on goodreads. You will find the books exact rating next to the stars when you search the book. Any book with part of the 4th star coloured is ok to nominate. (Rating example: 3.1 <-- and above would be acceptable). 2. Please check your nomination is available in paperback as hardbacks can be expensive. 3. To allow people who either don't read fast or who are limited in time to feel comfortable participating, we request that all nominations are no more than 500 pages long. 4. While the age of the book doesn't matter, we would ask that you nominate books you're interested to read and not one you've already read. The idea is that Book Club is a shared experience of reading something new. 5. If your nominated book is chosen as a Book Club read, you can have the option to set the discussion points when everyone has read the book. If you'd rather not, that's fine, just DM me to let me know. 6. There is no expectation to take part every month. It's fine to opt out if the chosen book for the month doesn't appeal. -- Current Members, Please read first post again as I have made some changes --
