So, with April upon us, and the last of our selections coming up, I thought I'd start a thread and ask you what you'd like to see us read for the next few months? Once we get a fair amount of suggestions, I'll put up a poll and we can vote on the selections. So fire away!
 
Hmmm....I'm no good at suggesting books. But I'll happily keep reading ones you put on here. However, might suggest that you try and get books that aren't just recently released. I'm old school and check things out of the library and it seems hard to get the new books. I'm STILL on hold for last months choice and this months choice. I may be in the minority but it would be nice to be able to get ahold of the book before the discussions :D
 
Recent reads I loved:
The Fault In Their Stars by John Green
The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd

I also enjoyed Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister.

I've been meaning to read The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz and A Visit From The Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan.
 
i've read 25 books so far this year. these four stand out...

mr. penumbra's 24 hour bookstore by robin sloan
the middlesteins by jami attenburg
me before you by jojo moyes
the fault in our stars by john green

i'm currently reading the invisible bridge by julie orringer and it is fabulous but i'm sure it will turn very sad soon.

the happiness project is good for three chapters and then it just gets boring.
 
I'm currently reading Delirium by Lauren Oliver. It's the first in a trilogy, and is really good so far.
 
I see several above that are on my too read list and more that I'm going to have to check out.

I just finished reading The Sea of Tranquility by Katja Millay and that was really good.
 
I had just read finish

* The Bridge by Karen Kingsbury : for the true believer in HIM, miracles & true love will conquer all.

* Tell Me Something by Adele Parks : it's about how fertility (or lack thereof) can affect a marriage. The 1st half is very draggy but once the female lead "wakes up", things started moving :P Oh, it's a very narrative book.

Right now, I hv these 3 books waiting for me.
* The Day You Saved My Life by Louise Candlish
* The Barbary Dogs by Cynthia Robinson
* A Killing in the Hills by Julia Keller

And many more ebooks :dizzy
 
Anything you guys *haven't* read, but would like to? I'd hate to have bunch of books that most of us have already read.
 
Now that you mention it... I've wanted to read Moloka'i for a long time and keep not getting to it...
