January Group Read Winners Are.......
I figured we should get this ball rolling before it gets too close to Xmas. Next week is going to be a busy one, for sure!
Let me quickly cover the rules!
~ONE nomination per person.
~The post must contain the TITLE and AUTHOR name.
~Do not second or third a nomination that has been posted, it is not necessary to do that.
We will have until Friday nite to get the nominations in. Once the nomination period is over, I will close the thread and post a voting poll. I will then announce voting time :)
If you do not follow the rules posted above, the nomination will not be accepted. Lets please keep this as clean and neat as possible.
Cant wait to see what everyone comes up with!
I wanted to put the last one from Nicholas Evans but it doesn't make sense as I read it already...so
I had a look on my TBR list:
Snow Flower and the Secret Fan: A Novel by Lisa See
Lori, I was thinking the contrary...stop coming. Want my suggestion to be chosen but I like so many of the other suggestions that I won't be able to choose easily between those and then between the one I choose and the one i suggested!!!!!!
ha! I think i will list the poll twice, maybe.... so everyone can two opportunities to vote... havent decided yet....
Yeah, that's a fantastic idea especially seeing as we usually seem to be doing 2 books a month now anyways.
Diary of Lady Murasaki by Murasaki Shikibu. It's about a thousand years old and is one woman's thoughts about court life in ancient Japan.
That's already done as well, TBG. Have a look back through the previous posts, that will show you what's already been nominated.
Thanks Mandy... I actually read throught the posts first but must have missed it! Whoops... sorry Lori... not trying to confuse you (honestly :)
oh no.. only 33 posts in and we are already getting confused.
The Book Gobbler, we are currently nominating books, not voting. If you want to nominate one for us to vote on later, read the threads and decide on one that is not listed yet. Please go back and delete your other posts, thanks!

No Twilight. Everyone's already either read it or talked it to death. It should just go away and die at this point.
