Manuel Alfonseca:
Hi, Manuel! I am wondering if the Catholic Book Club would like to vote on my new book as a possible read this summer? I am a debut author of a book of short stories titles "King of the Lake and Other Stories." These are 9 short stories. I would be pleased and honored if the Club chose this book. To find out more about me as an author, my website is: https://www.kira-marie-mccullough.com/

Thank you for asking!
In the Catholic Book Club, anyone can propose or nominate a book for common reading, even the authors of the books. This is done by going to this address (https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...) and adding a comment with the book information.
The problem is, we have many books nominated. Just now, there are about 70. For this reason, we have two different lists:
a) A voting list, of 15 books. Every month the next book to be read is chosen from this list by the votes of the members.
b) A nomination list. Newly nominated books are added to the end of this list. Empty places in the voting list are replaced by the books in the nomination list, in their order.
So we cannot guarantee that your book will be chosen between here and next summer. However, you can nominate it and wait some time until it has the opportunity to be chosen.
I hope this answers your question.

Manuel, I'm new to goodreads. It appears that this group chooses a book each month and then comments on the book throughout the month. How does one have a "discussion?" Sorry for such elementary questions -- but I couldn't find any page that explains how to participate in a digital club. Thanks for steering me in the right direction. Marcia Whitney-Schenck (Chicago)

Would you please widely expose censorship? Here's my recent encounter with it, but please make yhis a new topic of discussion. Facebook just banned me for posting a prompt to pray for just exposure of corrupt politicians, and for exposure & justice concerning FB, Twit & Leftist media censorship that manipulates the electorate. Ponder that a moment! Fight un-American practices!
