For me, the start of the NLBC happens to coincide with giving up smoking (again), so I can actually afford to buy things I want to read - and they give me a distraction away from wanting a cigarette.

To try and follow on from Bookworm_Girl's example...

So far I've only nominated books I have already read.

I have read 2 books someone else nominated: The Price of Salt, and The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August

I have read 2 book inspired by the monthly book: Black No More by George S. Schuyler, and The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway

I have read 1 book found* while searching for a nomination: The Fault in Our Stars by John Green.

* This was one of those rediscovery/bump-up-the-list things for me. I'd been wanting to read some from John Green for a while, then found this while searching for ideas for The Book Came First theme and decided it was time.

Reason: I'd forgotten that the Hemingway book was because of the monthly read.
