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 skipped November and made The Book Thief the December book of the month so that we can be caught up. I have created the subforum to discuss The Book Thief. I have also created the topic to vote for the January 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 February.

I highly recommend Rebooting My Brain by Maria Ross. I just started reading it and it's blowing my mind. Aneurysms are known of but aren't that well known and going through this brave woman's journey and what she did to get her life back is amazing to say the least.

Evidently I still haven't the hang of how this forum works. i never seem to see the books that are nominated. I have joined discussions on books so that isn't the problem but I do want to see the book of the month. Right now I'm reading The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd and it's excellent. Last week I read The House Kitchen another wonderful book. How about these for nomination?
