We had a three-way tie. You can nominate a book within the three tied categories for December theme:

*Holiday
*Cozy/Humorous Mystery
*Traditional Espionage

I will post the poll on or around November 7th.

Okay, how about The Hades Factor by Robert Ludlum and Gayle Lynds. It also features one of the characters who needs her own novel, Keri Russel!

I just came across another that I would like to nominate if I can...
The Stupidest Angel: A Heartwarming Tale of Christmas Terror The Stupidest Angel A Heartwarming Tale of Christmas Terror by Christopher Moore

I haven't read it, but it sounds funny...Santa and zombies, how could it not be!

I'm going to ask members to make one selection. I know it's hard, but since we don't have that many voting on the polls, it's harder to get a majority on a vote when there are too many choices. So please go back and select one book if you have made more than one nomination. Sorry to be hard on you!

that's ok by me Lady D...I'll keep my first nomination...toss Bubba...that's a good story, funny but not really "A/A".

I'm stuck on one that's actually an "action" read. I've got a couple of traditional espionage novels to suggest. First how about: The Bourne Identity as I find more and more people know the movie but don't know the (far superior) novel.

I thought of another...but I'll stick with one.

Mike I quite fancy that so I would second it.
