    I'm up for anything, really, except maybe Twilighty-harry-pottery type stuff ;) Y'all decide, I've had my turn!

    I'll put that on my to-read list then but we can scratch it here since you've read it :)

    I am up for any that Pat listed!

    Today, Amazon has free for kindle Write About Me - by Melissa Jane Poulliot

    I thought it might be an inspiring read for a future selection if anyone wanted to download it. :)

    I don't mind a book I've already read - I can always still discuss it. :)

    Titles I would love to see us tackle as a group:

    The Bean Trees (Greer Family, #1) by Barbara Kingsolver ( My new favorite author, I just finished the poisonwood bible, and I highly reccomend it!)

    The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman (I just love the way he writes fantasy and people.)

    The Shifting Fog by Kate Morton ( She is my new favorite master of the plot twist, and has a lovely lyrical style. I would classify her genre as mystery/romance/historical.)

    The House of Sand and Fog by Andre Dubus (a book that a co-worker has given me, and tells me is a 'dark read')

    I would also be interested in reading The Book Theif, as a previous poster mentioned. It's actually been on my list for quite some time now.

    I wouldn't mind trying out "The Thousand Faces of Night" by Jack Higgins at some point; I would like to do something else this month since our last book is a "crime" type book though! Keep that on our list for the future!

    "The Shifting Fog" and "The Bean Trees" also appeal to me! Anyone like these ideas?

    The Bean Trees sounds really good. Didn't find the Shifting Fog on Amazon or the library web site. Will keep looking for it.

    I agree a different genre each month would be a good idea.

    How odd that Amazon wouldn't have it.
    Another Kate Morton book would be just as good. So far I have not been disappointed.

    I also love the idea of different genres :)
