How about Cast On Kill Off? I'd link to the book but I'm on the app and have no idea how.

Knitty is recommending [sort of] this:

I'll add [The Goldfinch](book) as a suggestion for 2014

I'd second the motion the The Goldfinch!!

I'll add that! And Barbara, just FYI, the linking process doesn't work the same way here as it does on Ravelry (sadly). I still think Ravelry is one of the best websites ever - even if you're not a knitter! (Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ could learn a thing or two from them, frankly).

So, how do I get the book to show up here?

Barbara, just above the text box where you type your comment there's a link "add book/author". It lets you choose whether to add just the book title or a picture of the cover.

The Goldfinch, for example.

Thanks

Stitches: A Handbook on Meaning, Hope and Repair

I listen to audiobooks while I am knitting, so I am recommending one here. Mary And O'Neil by Justin Cronin. It's new in audio at my library. Not knitting-related, but there is mention of a wool sweater in the blurb, does that count? A terrific author.

ETA: Just happened upon this fun biography by Kathy Griffith's Mother: Tip It! by accident. That might be fun! And now I have to add another disc to my Netflix Q, which is still not as long as my Ravelry Q. :-)

Here's one that I'd love to see for our selection process:

struggling to paste the cover image....sorry.

Rebecca, we take any and all books here - we love knitting books, but read plenty of unrelated stuff too! Keep the suggestions coming!

Maggie, I had no idea that was going to be the beginning of a series, very interesting. Poor thing, despite efforts for anonymity, I'm sure all the reprints will say JK ROWLING! and then in small print (writing as Robert Galbraith).

So many good knitting books popping up too, it's like another fall!




I'm having a terrible case of "Wanttoreadallofthebookseverpublished" -itis. Yikes!

Zoe, I bought Adventures in Yarn Farming several months ago. Oh my, what a beautiful book and what lovely writing. It's not really a pattern book but does include some patterns, and I am itching to cast on a few of those.

Major Pettigrew's Last Stand, by Helen Simonson

Here are a few ideas:


The Supremes at Earl's All-You-Can-Eat
Year of No Sugar: A Memoir
The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair

Suggestions:


While My Pretty One Knits

Knitting Yarns: Writers on Knitting

Water for Elephants

I've been dipping into childrens/teen fiction, and a couple are worth book club consideration.



and fascinated by some non-fiction books I've heard about.

And this looks good too!


and everyone is reading Jo Nesbo!


Ahhh! Help! Too many books!

I LOVED "Miss Peregrine" and the sequel is out now as well.I have it on my Kindle, but had to finish some others first.

These are great suggestions. Jo Nesbo has been on my radar for a while now but I haven't ready any yet. Empty Mansions looks really good, in fact I might pick that up for a Father's Day gift and get one for myself as well.
I would like to read Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children too. I seem to remember hearing about this book before and being interested in it but then I guess it slipped my mind.
Thanks again for the great suggestions!

I just started reading "The Supremes..." and I was hooked from the opening sentence! I'll try to find Empty Mansions for July, but highly recommend this book for another month. That opinion may change as I get further in, but I doubt it...

I can't work out how this might fit into the current alpha-alliteration thing that's going on this year, but I think "Black River" by S.M. Hulse is a great group read.

We're using the alphabet to help us make decisions when we're challenged. That doesn't mean we can't step outside the box. :) thanks for the suggestion.

Thoughts for November:

"this isn't so much a retelling of Wuthering Heights as a complement to it."

also, any Jo Nesbo book;

...and suggestions from previous months look tempting too!

I'd like to suggest (Uprooted) by Naomi Novik.

I'll vote for Uprooted

I think I already voted for Uprooted - if I didn't, I'd like to now.

Will a poll go out? I don't know if I've got the choosing process figured out. I got my preferences on GR reset so I will receive polls...missed it last time.

Had another thought about book choices, though I see Uprooted is liked by some.

No word from Rachel, so I'll put up a quick poll, a mix of picks from this page and one or two of my own. Thanks for your patience, kids ;-)

What was the winner?

I heard a podcast that mentioned this is the 200-year anniversary of Emma by Jane Austen. In December, even (if I'm remembering correctly). I enjoy most everything Austen; Mansfield Park and Emma being
my least favorites. That interview got me thinking it's time re-evaluate with another reading of Emma.
