Their Eyes Were Watching God"I love that book, Anne! I just listened to the audio book this year and it was an excellent production with the various dialects.

When I see this book title, I always think "Their Eyes Were Watching Cod" Sounds yummy

A Curse Dark As Gold"Hey Sammy. My fault. I sent you the link from another thread to select a nomination without explaining how it goes.
November is Historical Fiction month and we are selecting books from our Historical Fiction Bookshelf.
Your selection though looks like it would be a great buddy read. If anyone wants to join, let us know and we can set up a thread!
Thank you for your suggestion, Sammy, and keep thinking!

Oh. Ok. Sorry. :P
Just voted. Will be curious to see the outcome and which books we will be reading.
Mod
I nominate either Things Fall Apart or Their Eyes Were Watching God. I haven't read nearly enough African works...
Mod
Their Eyes Were Watching God wasn't my choice, but only because I already read it this year. I loved it. If you like audio books, I highly recommend listening to this one because it is written with excellent attention to dialects. Sometimes it is easier to hear it than read it.

Thanks for the tip Julie. :) I read this in high school, but I don't remember it very well. I think I'll listen this time around.

Our November genre is going to be Historical Fiction!
The books that will make the poll are nominated by us in this thread.
Select a book from our Historical Fiction Bookshelf and place your nomination here.
Some classics fall into the historical fiction category, so even if you pick one from this genre that is a Classic, you may still select a different book for the classics category too.
Depending on how many books are nominated, we may have to narrow it down to only putting books in the poll that have 2 or more nominations here.
We are doing this early so everyone can get a head start since the holidays will are approaching (another good reason to read Short & Sweet Books) and to have time to request the book from your library if necessary.
If you don't see a book on there that you may like to see, you can make a suggestion in our
Book Suggestions to Add to Our Menu thread.
Nominations end September 15th at which point the poll goes up.
Let the nominations begin...
