Nominate February 2017 Group Read **VOTING CLOSED**

[Barbara]

Nominations are now open for February 2017!

Jan Drexler is exempt from nomination as we've already read one of her books this year, although we may make exceptions for novella collections that include one of these authors. If you're not sure if your book is eligible for nomination, please leave a comment and one of the moderators will get back to you!

Rules:
1. Any Amish-themed novel is eligible.
2. One nomination per person.
3. If two people nominate the same book, each person's vote counts. So the book will feature twice in the list to give each vote an equal chance.
4. Nominations run until the 14th of the month, with the winner announced on the 15th.
5. The winning book is chosen using Random.org to make it completely fair.
6. Please don't nominate a book we have already read. You can see our list of previous group reads here:https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... or look at the group read's bookshelf here: https://www.goodreads.com/group/books... (it includes both group read categories).
7. Only nominate the first book in a series UNLESS we have already read #1 (see above link). In this case, #2 is then eligible for nomination!

How about a Blueberry Cupcake Mystery by Naomi Miller

[Natalie]

@Marg: Ooh, I am excited that we might finally get to read something by Naomi Miller.

[Carolyn]

have we ever read Amy Wallace, romance can get a little old; her books are suspense; it's mennonite; slightly different.

[Barbara]

My nomination is Promise to Return by Elizabeth Byler Younts. It's the first in her Promise of Sunrise series.

[Natalie]

@Barbara: I am excited finally about possibly reading and discussing .

No Adrienne, you're looking in the right place. I'm sorry I'm late. Sometimes there's no down time on a Sunday to get on the computer.

Drum roll please!!

Our read for next month is...

Natalie's nomination, Apple of His Eye by Kelly Caldwell!

Thanks for the nomination Natalie
