Yeah, I agree! This is going to be a fun read! Plus I have a lot to add to my to-read shelf now.
Ines of my Soul by Isabel Allende. Ines follows her husband from Spain and ends up with the Conquistadors as they settle Chile.
I will follow April Ann since Gabriel Marquez is a LA writter, he really knows all about our reality. I read this book more than 20 years ago, it is a really a great book.
Okay, this will be the first nominating thread setting up our reads one month earlier than usual.
***LATIN AMERICA (BEFORE 1945)***
***ANY SOUTH OR CENTRAL AMERICAN COUNTRY OR MEXICO, FICTION OR NON-FICTION***
Okay everyone, it's that time of the month - time to nominate! Anyone who would like to nominate ONE book may do so in this thread.
The theme this month is LATIN AMERICA (BEFORE 1945) (SOUTH AMERICA, CENTRAL AMERICA OR MEXICO, fiction or non-fiction). There's a lot of flexibility here! I made up the 1945 date just so our choices are more history related than modern politics related, so if your choice goes beyond 1945, that's okay.
Please try to check amazon or some other site to make sure the book is easily available - the last thing we want is to nominate some great book that no one can get! If you nominate more than ONE book, only the first book listed will make it into the voting thread (so save additional books for the next months!). Also, if the book doesn't fit the theme, I won't add it to this month's voting list, but I will carry it over to the next theme that it does fit under if you would like.
Feel free to nominate one book of your choice in this thread until June 15th, 9pm Eastern.
At around that time, I'll make a voting poll and list all the nominated books in it, and people can vote in the poll until the poll closes (set to last through June 19th). Discussion will start on August 1st.
Happy Nominating!
