Please only choose one author to nominate.The top 10 authors with the most nominations will be put into a Poll for everyone to vote on. The author with the most votes from the Poll will be our 2014 Author Buddy Read.
I will nominate Jill Shalvis
Only one?! Ok, I'm going with Kresley Cole - I think all of the IAD books will be out in audio by early next year. Yum, Robert Petkoff... ~sigh~
It's just easier for me if you only get one vote :)But make sure to vote for your favorite, if it's already nominated that's even better, the more votes for an author the more likely it will make it into the top 10!
Gena Showalter (This is my sneaky plan to get some of the re-reads I'm dying to do in. :D)

Oh look, Daffodil and I nominated the same person at the same time. Does that mean I can nominate Nalini Singh?

Does that mean I can nominate Nalini Singh?"Well, the more nominations, the better the chance the author will move on the Voting round at the Poll. So I would say choose the author you would like to see win the Poll :)
Kat, Singh was already nominated but you can also nominate her. The more noms the better.
Keep me for Cole then, I could use a year of listening to that voice!
Oooh, hard. I'll have to come back later with my nom :)
I'm going out in left field - Susan Wiggs
I'd like to add a nomination for Christine Feehan!
I've got everyone up to here.Thanks so much for taking the time to nominate an author!!

LOL, sorry Ty! But thanks for voting :)
ah, okay...thanks fran.. i'l go with garwood...
Hey, Fran! Can I change my vote? I more or less flipped a coin between Kresley Cole and Nalini Singh, and ended up going with KC since she hadn't been nominated yet. Now seeing how the poll is shaping up, it looks like I made the wrong choice. Can I switch my vote from Kresley Cole to Nalini Singh? Please??? :D
Of course KarenH!You can change your vote at any time :)
I'd really like to participate in this one. I keep saying that I will but then I forget about it. Ok, I'm going to nominate, Susan Elizabeth Phillips just because I don't see her on there.
Kresley Cole since I am starting the series Immortals after Dark, so I can use the motivation to finish it up..and not forget about it.

Do you have an author that you would like to read regularly throughout 2014? A buddy-read; something like a book each month with other interested members?
From October 25rd -November 3rd, nominate in this thread the author whose backlist you would like to dedicate some time to next year. Key considerations:
* Nominations will close November 3.
* The author must have at least 20 books on their backlist.
* You may not nominate more than one author.
* If the 'winning' author writes under more than one name, then all name combinations will be eligible to be read in the 2013 challenge.
* The following authors may not be submitted for the 2014 year long buddy read -
-JR Ward
-JD Robb
-Robin Carr
-Jayne Anne Krentz, Amanda Quick and Jayne Castle
*We will post a Poll on November 3rd for the top 10 authors with the most nominations from this thread to decide the winning author for 2014
The 2013 Year Long Buddy Read of JR Ward is coming to a close. It was a very successful effort and I think everyone who participated really enjoyed it.
Let's do it again!
