In Jo's Book Nook we've read and discussed our way through a lot of the books recommended by JKR - see here for previous discussions. We're already committed to reading books from JKR's list during June - August but at some point we're going to run out and we've been thinking about the way forward when we get to the end of the list. So, in September, as a trial, we would like to run a Book Nook discussing a book recommended by Leaky members. We will collect a list of nominations and when we feel we have enough we'll start a poll to vote for September's book.

So, if you would like to nominate a book (please don't post yet to support other people's nominations - we'll get to that later) please copy, paste and complete the template below and post it in this thread. Any posts that don't answer all the questions from 1 - 6c will not be included in the final poll.

Only one book per member please,
if you post more than one only the first one will be included unless you PM one of the Nook mods to ask us to remove your earlier nomination.

QUOTE
1) Title:

2) Author:

3) Is it part of a series?

4) How widely is it published around the world?

5) Is the content PG-13?

6) Give at least three topics that you think would attract discussion (you can give more than three if you wish)

6a)

6b)

6c)

Optional extra info:

If you answered Yes to Question 3, is the series complete yet?

Author's website (if they have one):

Any other comments:

Thanks to everyone who has nominated a book, there are some really interesting choices, some I've read, some I've read part of a series and some are completely new to me, so I think we'll have an interesting discussion ahead. As we now have six nominations I'm going to close this thread and start a poll to choose which one we will read in September.
