YayyLeah, is this a nomination for The Stranger by Albert Camus?

They don't, Patrick. Every month is a fresh start.

But anyone can renominate any book. Sometimes a book is renominated several times before it finally wins.

I'm sorry all. I am confused. Again. I thought we read I Am a Cat and Fahrenheit 451 earlier this year. Shouldn't they be on the ineligible list? Thanks.

[CHIOMA]

I second Dune and And then there were none

You are right, in May and February, respectively. So I think Fahrenheit 451 is juuuuust eligible, but I Am a Cat isn't.

[Sandra]

I second The Handmaid’s Tale

[Zeljka]

As Marcos wrote
"Books featured as a group reread within the last twelve months are not eligible."
I Am a Cat is eligible because it was first time reading, not a reread.

[Charley Girl]

I'll second Dark Matter

That's it. :-)

We can reread a book any time, but once it is reread, it cannot be nominated again for one year.

Aha! Thanks for clarifying :)

[*sj*]

I second And Then There Were None

just read the blurb and my GR friends ratings for it and it looks interesting ... I would ordinarily not be attracted to Agatha Christie, but now my interest is piqued
