February Group Reads are....
Pragya: Please read the directions. You can only nominate ONE book, not two. Also, The Hunger Games has already been a group read. If you are not sure if a book has been discussed previously, check the group bookshelf in top right sidebar.
You need to edit your post or Lori will not include your nomination. ;-)

Oops, thank you Heather, edited.

First post! Woo. All great nominations."
I think Lori only wants one book recommended, from either category, Juliana. Which one would you prefer to nominate?

Hi, thank you! Just realized that. The second one was also on the bookshelf already, so I've left it off. Thanks again.

and I also read The Fountainhead by the same author (Ayn Rand) - very hard read....
@Heather L , Little Women was awesome! I laughed and cried in that one. Very cool classic choice. :)

The categories going forward will remain as follows (based on your feedback):
Cat1- Regular Fiction/Non-Fiction
Cat2- Classics
In order for a novel to count as "Classic" it must be published pre-1980.
Please do not nominate a book more than once. A book can only be voted on once, so multiple nominations within this thread are not counted.
Only ONE nomination per person.
If you nominate a book for catagory 1, you CANNOT nominate a book for catagory 2, and visa versa.
Please be sure to post the title, author, and the catagory it belongs to.
Ideally, you can type it as follows -
Cat 1. Room - Emma Donoghue
If your post does not have those three things, it will not be counted.
Are you ready?
I will accept nominations through Saturday evening. If we get tons of nominations, I may pull the plug on it a little early, so get them in as soon as you can!
Once I close nominations I will create the polls and let you know when it is time to vote!
Hit us with your best noms!
**Important note: At no time is it acceptable for an author to nominate one of his/her own books for the monthly group read. Likewise, it is not acceptable to "push" nominations or votes within this group. It also follows that "a nomination for a nomination" is not acceptable. If I suspect a push, or inappropriate actions have taken place within the group read nominations or votes, I reserve the right to deem those nominations or votes as ineligible.
