Hi Christy! You have seconded your own nomination of Magical Thinking, so I'll remove it.Also, you have seconded Part-Time Indian twice, so I'll remove that too.
Christy wrote: "I second The Martian and Pachinko"Hi Christy! Since you nominated The Martian, I'll remove your second of this book. Thanks for the nomination though.
Also, we allow only one nomination per month, so I'll delete I am a Cat, but you can nominate it next month.
I see you have seconded Pachinko twice, so I'll remove that too.
I second Pillars of the Earth.
I'll be joining in. Just finished reading The Shadow of the Wind, which features the Cemetary of Forgotten Books, so I'm reading books about books these days. Looking forward to the discussion!
