[Hugh]

I'd like to nominate The Blazing World by Siri Hustvedt

[LindaJ^]

I nominate White Dog Fell from the Sky by Eleanor Morse. I bought the book in 2013 after hearing the author at a book reading. It has languished on my TBR shelf since then and is calling to me!

[Suzy]

I nominate [book:The Green Road|23316521 by Anne Enright. I'm reading it right now and making so many connections. I would love to discuss it!

[Whitney]

Suzy, for some reason your link didn't post correctly, looks like it's missing a close bracket. Here's a working link:
The Green Road by Anne Enright.

[Kirsten]

For some reason the closing bracket didn't show up with the title.

[Whitney]

Nominations are closing tomorrow. Any last minute offerings?

oh, thanks! I didn't notice that when I posted it.

Okay, the nominations are closed and the poll is up, here: https://www.goodreads.com/poll/show/1... and from the group homepage. It will be open until the end of the month.

And the winner is, The Blazing World, with a pretty good margin!

Hugh, having picked another winner, are you interested in moderating again?

Yes, I'd be happy to do that.

[Whitney]
