This isn't the actual vote, you can nominate as many books as you'd like. They will all be added to a poll later and we'll vote closer to Feb.

On the first page it said one nomination per member. Is that not true?

[Nadine in NY]

Right, it's supposed to be one nomination per member - if you nominate more than one, Sara or Juanita will probably ask which one to use in the poll.

[Cindy]

Oops lol

There are some great choices here, but I'd like to put in a vote for Roots: The Saga of an American Family by Alex Haley. It's a long one for sure, but it is so gorgeous I've read it three times already.

Based on books I already own, I'll nominate The Fishermen by Chigozie Obioma.
