The WINNERS for August's Group Read are....
Polls are now open for voting. To the right of the group home page you will see the poll option, click it and vote away.
The site will only allow you to vote for one book per catagory, however you can change your vote as many times as you like up until closing time.
The polls will remain open until July 27th which is Monday.
We will have two catagories this month:
Cat1- Regular Fiction/Non-Fiction
Cat2- Book and Movie Deal
If you choose to nominate a book for catagory 2, I think we would all prefer it not be one currently in the movies (as that can get expensive).
Only ONE nomination per person.
Please be sure to post the title, author, and the catagory it belongs to.
If your post does not have those three things, it will not be counted.
Are you ready?
I will leave nominations open until Wednesday nite.....
Go.....
My apologies, I'm new to this and misunderstood the instructions...
Category 2-The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett
Ahem... Becca... Check out the rules please.
ONE nomination per person, not one per catagory.
I need you to please edit your post to show the one you wish to nominate most.
Thanks :)
Becca, its ok. When I post for nominations and voting, I always put rules up. I'll let it slide this time, and chalk it up to be over-excited :)
((wink wink))
The Memory Keeper's Daughter is also a movie, but since it was on Lifetime, not sure if it is available to rent.

Stephanie, the books we have read as a group are all the books on the bookshelf here.

Wendy, the link is not working :(
Oh.. my bad! I misunderstood- thought we could do one per category. Then my nomination is for Category 2..The Boy in The Striped Pajamas.
We dont need to second anyones nominations. I didnt put that in the original post, and perhaps I should have. Every nomination that has all the required information is automatically entered into the voting polls.
Category 2: The Remains of the Day by Kazuo IshiguroJust read it recently and I totally loved it. Such a sweet, funny, sad, heartbreaking, and uplifting book. And not long at all. It's the very definition of a "Good Read." :)
I'll nominate it for Category 1 even though there is a film:Life of Pi by Yann Martel
There is also a world wide read along going on during the month of August:

Katie and Amy, your entries do not count since someone already nominated that book. Please delete your choices and repost a new one for me. thanks!
