A Study in Scarlet & Wuthering Heights are our chosen books for this month.
Please feel free to read either or both as you wish. Pop back in for discussion as & when you want to.
Could you please use spoiler tags for any plot details until the 30th September so as not to spoil the books for anyone else? Thank you.

I nominate Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte and Coriolanus by Shakespeare. I believe the limit for nominations is two?
I think the previous limits have been between 3-5 weeks...

All great suggestions
Looking forward to voting - it's going to be tough deciding which to pick!
When does voting open?
I would like to nominate Virginia Woolf's 'Mrs. Dalloway' because I have been meaning to buy/borrow it for ages.
It looks like the TSR Book club is firing up well

The Book Thief is a very good book. Interesting slant on Nazi Germany.
If on a Winter's Night a Traveller by Italo Calvino?

The poll is now up
I have made it mutliple choice seeing as we are choosing two books anyway & it might give a better idea of the votes. Who knows? If it works badly this month we can change next month!
Please vote!
Vote for as any books that you would ACTUALLY be prepared to read and discuss. That may be one, or two, or 5 - it depends on you.
