Nominate Books for Book of the Month (see restrictions)

Members of the forum choose and read a new book every month together, and then discuss it. You can nominate a book to be book of the month using the book's page on Bookshelves. Simply click the link that says 'Nominate for book of the month' on the left side of the book's Bookshelves page near the social sharing buttons. Don't be scared to nominate, as you can change your nomination to a different book if you think of something better.

I created the subforum to discuss the March book Inferno. I also created the topic to vote for the April book of the month.

Please continue to use this topic to post new nominations. As of the time of this post, nominations are currently for May.

I nominate a book names "Prince of Wolves" it's actually a series called The Grey Wolves series. I know it probably WONT win because a lot of others never heard of it but even if it doesn't u should REALLY read it. The author is Quinn Loftis. The book is fantasy. It's defiantly action adventure too. It is hilarious bust a gut funny. I wrote a review on it where it tells you what it's about and my thoughts on it we'll Duhhh that's what a review is. :mrgreen: :lol: :roll:

I'm new here, so I'm not sure if it's been done already. But I would love to nominate FAHRENHEIT 451 by Ray Bradbury.
The joys of literature transcend the evils of the world. I believe in its miraculious baptism and emotional power of the words trickling down the page. To me, there is no higher artform...

The Fallen Star
A touch of fantasy would make a refreshing change!

I would like to second Tayla's suggestion & nominate "Prince of Wolves (The Grey Wolves Series)" by Quinn Loftis as well.

Check out the Amazon reviews of this book, they are mostly very positive. :lol:
