Nominations for March 2018 • The Book Came First
Happy February and let's hope that Phil doesn't see his shadow tomorrow. Help us select the book that the New Leaf Book Club will read for March 2018. The theme is The Book Came First: books adapted to screen. We mean that literally, for once, in that novelizations of films and shows don't count, nor books related to a screen franchise. The book had to come first! The nominations will run through 9 AM EST February 7, 2018. Each nomination requires a second and a third to make it to the poll, which will remain open for four days. The discussion of the selection will start on March 15, 2018. Don't forget to show up for the discussion of the first selection of the New Leaf Book Club, Passing, on February 15.

For those that might like a bit of extra inspiration, BookDepository sent me the following link that you might find helpful: Books Made Into Movies.
(BookDepository is for paperbooks, so you will need to check for ebook availability separately, but I thought it was a very convenient page to help anyone short of ideas for the March nominations.) |

I'll kick off with Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck. It may finally force me to read something by him.

@orlok: A trick to finding ebook versions on amazon when they aren't properly linked to pbook versions. Start from: www.amazon.com/kindle-ebooks (or the smile equivalent). This limits the search to ebooks only.

I'm going to nominate The Light Between Oceans by M.L. Stedman. It is an amazing book. Well worth the read. if you read any other book instead, give yourself a kick on the backside.

New Leaf Book Club - March: The Old Man and the Sea
I would like to nominate Ernest Hemingway's best book, made into a superb movie starring Spencer Tracy. The movie got one Oscar win, and two additional nominations. The book? It got a Pulitzer Prize.

FadedPage -- FREE AmazonUS -- $9.99 USD AmazonUK -- £5.99 AmazonAU -- $2.04 AUD KoboUS -- $6.49 KoboUK -- £5.49 KoboCA -- $0.99 AudibleUK -- £6.75 (or £5.99 WhisperSync) AudibleUS -- $11.15 (or $8.49 WhisperSync ) I finally read this a couple of years ago when Hemingway became Public Domain in Canada. And I'd like to highly recommend it. Powerful, timeless, and a quite approachable read. |

I'm going to nominate Elmer Gantry by Sinclair Lewis. Lewis was the first American Nobelist in Literature and the movie won three Oscars in 1961, including Burt Lancaster as Best Actor.

Thanks for the link to the Australian site, since this one hasn't yet been converted in Canada!
