Book Nominations

Choose TWO books that you think would be fun to read as a group.
Note: You do NOT have to nominate books to participate in either the voting or the reading.

General guidelines:
  • No manga
  • No light novels
  • No graphic novels
  • The book can have illustrations, maps, etc. but it shouldn't be the main part of the book
  • No page limit but please don't add 1,000 page books that might be harder for some readers to get through
  • Try not to suggest books that are part of a big series (more than a trilogy)
    • Please only list the first book of the series
  • Depending on who is joining there might be limited smutty content
  • Books that were previously nominated can be re-nominated

Ok, this last one is technically part of a series larger than 3, but the books are only loosely connected in that they all take place within the same universe. They all can be treated as stand-alone stories and even can be read in any order, and it doesn't change much.

March 2024 Book Nominations

Hello again friends! I think it is about time we started deciding the next book. I've opened the Book Nominations thread in the AWC Book Club, so if you are interested please head over there.

Please look over the General Guidelines again, but here is a quick recap of the changes:

- Only **TWO** books per person this time so it's not quite so overwhelming
- You may re-nominate books that were nominated in the January round
- Removed the page limit because there is such a huge discrepancy between book versions. That being said, please don't go looking for 1,000 page books because not everyone is going to be at that level

You do not need to nominate books in order to participate in the voting/reading. If you're still working on A Good Marriage please feel free to keep working on it at your own pace.
