When I Found You by Catherine Ryan Hyde
A sweet novel about Nathan a man who finds a baby abandon in the woods. He adopts the baby boy much to his wife's surprise. It's a tale depicting their trails and struggles and the promise of love that doesn't give up or abandon

[Denise]

I would like to nominate T. M. Brown's A Life Not My Own for September's BOM. In reading A Life Not My Own, I found glimpses of myself written in the words of the pages. The wealth of wisdom shared by Brown is delivered from a heartfelt place, A Life Not My Own is a highly recommende read for anyone on their own personal journey to self-acceptance and self-actualization.A Life Not my Own

[Terry]

Black Mariah was a really good read. It's the first book in a new series by Richard Finney. So I'll nominate it.

[Alana ~ The Book Pimp]

Oh, so many choices!

Crimson Midnight by Amos Cassidy

[Raymond]

I would like to nominate my book, "Love Poems for Cannibals." It is brilliant, witty, and rather dark -- representing the best in contemporary poetry.

Raymond Keen - author of "Love Poems for Cannibals"

I'd also like to nominate Janet Ross' book Damaged Girls. Most women can realte to her books...

[Nickie]

I would like to nominate book 1 of the "Do you spook German?" series - The Heidelberg Ghost written by moi - Nickie Cochran.



It's a lighthearted paranormal love story with a touch of adventure. A nice feel-good book to cuddle up with.

[T.M.]

Carolyn Holmes - Hood author of No Turning Back

[T.M.]

Edith Lazenby - Tabernacle in the Wilderness

[Anne]

Sirens having female trouble, well-written combo of paranormal and women's fiction. The Siren's Tale

[Jason]

Since it was second last time, I would like to nominate my horror/mystery, What Hides Within


For those who voted for it last time, thank you. If I knew who you were, I'd happily provide a copy to you in exchange for an honest review. Thanks, and good luck to all!

[Amy]

I'd like to put forward my dark fantasy novel Beasthood. http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17...

It's original and something many readers will enjoy. I doubt it will get a lot of votes but it's worth a try. Good luck to everyone. I'm sure you all deserve it but there can be only one winner! Peace, out.

I'll also vote for How To Be A Goddess...

[Marie]

I'd like to nominate my book, Upon Your Return. It is a historical romance set in France in the 1860s, and I believe it is a book that anyone would like. It has accumulated four and five star responses.

[Richard]

[Pamela]

I would like to nominate my book, ...but they call me Sonny as BOTM. A real-life epic of a young boy in search of his dad as millions of Americans move about in search of a new life during the Great Depression. A must read for those interested in historical times, and for those that enjoy stories that make you laugh through tears. ...But They Call Me Sonny

[Anton]

I'd like to nominate my own novel, "The Last Overseer" Its a Dystopian tale, featuring a blend of sci-fi and horror.

It is set in the near future where a totalitarian global government does everything it can to track down mutating humans in order to prevent a zombie apocalypse. Some citizens however, don't want to be cured, leading to civil unrest, dysfunctional romances, tugs of war between science and ethics, and a high octane cat and mouse chase story.

[Adam]

I want to nominate Songbook for Haunted Boys and Girls by Wayne McNeill.

This is a memoir told in a series of vignettes, all taking place on one street in Toronto. It is so utterly beautifully done, so remarkably real and lyrical, so sensual and delightful. And such a joy.

Adam

[Tamara]

I'd like to nominate 'The Gift' by Rachel Newcomb. I've only just finished it and really enjoyed it - my review will be up tomorrow.

[Gemma]

I'll nominate Cocoon by David Saperstein.

A story of illegal aliens helped to get back to their home.

[chucklesthescot]

I'd like to second by AZ Green. It is a totally different take on the usual werewolf story.

[Craig]

I second the nomination of Songbook for Haunted Boys and Girls, but I'd like to add Adam Byrn Tritt's recent book, Songs from the Well.

It's a heartbreaking yet joyful chronicle of his love for his wife, Lee; his sudden and heartbreaking loss of her to brain cancer; and his struggle to find a way back to life, as told through essays and poetry written during their marriage and in the time since her passing. Powerful, gorgeous writing.

[Hemanth]

I'd like to nominate my novel Aymaran Shadow - the story of a woman who is destined to be violated. In every lifetime.

[Meenakshi]

I like to second you on this, this is one of the finest reads I have come across in recent times .Gripping and takes the reader to a roller coaster ride of deception revenge.

[Sandeep]

i will third (??) or rather second hemanth again..

[David]

The burden of being human is that we are blessed with phenomenal comprehension, but unfortunately we are not granted the ability to grasp it all.

I would like to nominate my literary novel Solace of Stone.
http://www.solaceofstone.com

The book is for a few months on Amazon and the reviews there are very enthusiastic.
To quote a few:
- Breathtakingly beautiful.
- I recommend this book to fans of Proust's 'A la recherche du temps perdu', or anyone who prefers soulful and mature writing to shallow sensationalism.
- Solace of Stone presents a world rich in culture, philosophy and ideas; a world that has been diminished in our present-day texting, surfing, superficial reality.
- Solace of Stone seems like it is the work of an accomplished author with lots of mileage on his word-processor

Please find the book on:
