Nevermind, now that I saw Atonement, i second this :D"

It's OK. You can second multiple books.

Ted wrote: "I nominate The Hate You Give.

Btw, how do you add the title as a link?"

Ted, look at the top right of the comment box. Select "add book/author" and you will get another dialog to SEARCH for your book then ADD the html link.

Can we add all the prior seconds to my nomination? I've had this one sitting on my TBR shelf for awhile now."

JoJo, thanks for the nomination, and yes, I will now add all the prior seconds.

Megan wrote: "I nominate Murderbot"

Megan, I couldn't find a book called Murderbot, but there is a Murderbot Diaries series by Martha Wells. All Systems Red is the first title. Is that the book you are nominating?

Perfume
Immortal Life"

Andi, same story. Underground Railroad has not been nominated and you have already used your nomination ticket with another book choice.

Toni, the Underground Railroad has not been nominated yet. And since you have already made another nomination, I cannot add this book.
