October Group Read Nominations

Just as a recap:

Two discussion leaders per book

From now on the person who nominates the winning book of the month will co-lead the discussion of the book with the moderator.

This does mean a few things:

1. If you aren't really interested in reading a book, don't nominate it!
2. If you doubt that you'll have time to participate in that month's discussion, don't nominate it!

Now, don't feel all stressed...you still don't have to go it alone. Moderators will always be active leaders in book discussions, too.

Don't forget! In order for your nomination to count you must link the book.

Nominations close Thursday, August 30th.

I'd like to nominate Talyn by Holly Lisle

[carol. , Senor Crabbypants]

Jessica, to link, click on the "add book/author" and a search box will come up to find your book. This helps identify the right book/edition and creates a list of linked books that make it easier to set up a poll. Thanks.

[Jessica]

Sorry!

I'd like to nominate Talyn by Holly Lisle.

[Jalilah]

I'd like to nominate Waking the Moon by Elizabeth Hand
I've heard it is a cult classic and I've always been curious about it.
How many books can we nominate?

[carol. , Senor Crabbypants]

lol, Jalilah. One. :)

[MrsJoseph *grouchy*, *good karma*]

Huh. I'm in a quandry.

I want to nominate To Ride Hell's Chasm but I want Janny to have a chance to nominate it in the Author read...

Ha ha I know! It was just wishful thinking because I could not make up my mind between what I nominated and another book!

[carol. , Senor Crabbypants]

It could go both places, don't you think? We did that with a book a few months ago--made epic and urban.

[Janny]

I'd be thrilled to have it nominated in either category, and would also be delighted to help with your discussion - you know (grin) how I dislike self promo in groups - when a nomination is reader-driven it is SO MUCH MORE FUN! because an author gets that warm, delightful thrill that somebody responded because they wanted to. Spontaneity rocks! and readers choose, that's what makes my day.

Thanks, Mrs. Joseph, what a lovely 'conflict' :)

[Maggie]

Can it be either Urban or epic? I forget if we are still doing both. I would like to nominate Already Dead

FYI--it is only Kindle edition. we try to pick editions that are available in a multitude of formats for those that lack e-readers.
