John Adams - David McCulloughHope that hasn't been a read yet. Having a hard time checking the list.
July Destiny of the Republic: A Tale of Madness, Medicine and the Murder of a PresidentBy Candice Millard
July Code Name Verity
by Elizabeth Wein.This is sometimes considered Young Adult, but I fear that label may make a lot of readers miss out on a truly wonderful book that everyone should read.

Boy, there are some really great options for both months!
I love that we are going to know the book for August a little in advance. It makes it so much easier for me to get a hold of a copy.
Mod

The categories going for July and August (based on your feedback)are:
July - Historical Fiction / Founding Fathers non-fiction
August - Summer setting / beach reads
Please do not nominate a book more than once. A book can only be voted on once, so multiple nominations within this thread are not counted.
Only ONE nomination per month per person.
Please be sure to post the title, author, and the month you are nominating it for.
Ideally, you can type it as follows -
August - Room - Emma Donoghue
If your post does not have those three things, it will not be counted.
Are you ready?
I will accept nominations through Wednesday. If we get tons of nominations, I may pull the plug on it a little early, so get them in as soon as you can!
Once I close nominations I will create the polls and let you know when it is time to vote!
Hit us with your best noms!
**Important note: At no time is it acceptable for an author to nominate one of his/her own books for the monthly group read. Likewise, it is not acceptable to "push" nominations or votes within this group. It also follows that "a nomination for a nomination" is not acceptable. If I suspect a push, or inappropriate actions have taken place within the group read nominations or votes, I reserve the right to deem those nominations or votes as ineligible.
