Something a bit different: Black Beauty by Anna Sewell.

[Janet]

Nicholas Nickleby by Charles Dickens--it's on my reread list for this year, and I'd love the company :)

[Renee, Moderator]

Nicholas Nickleby has been nominated for our June read as well. We may need to keep it to one or the other. Is there another book you’d like to nominate here, Jane?

[Peggy]

North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell

[Nidhi]

I second North and South by Gaskell.

[Tammie]

I second North and South

[Brittany (Lady Red)]

I third North and South!

[Michaela]

I don´t remember we second or third. ;) Perhaps some other nominations?

[Piyangie, Moderator]

We don't second any nomination in the Victorian group. You can make a nomination of your own Tammie, Brittany, and Nidhi. :)

[Brittany (Lady Red)]

Okay, The Odd woman then. My phone refuses to do links properly sorry.

[Piyangie, Moderator]

Brittany nominates The Odd Women by George Gissing.

[Nidhi]

I nominate Shirley by Charlotte Brontë

Nidhi, we read Shirley last May, so it comes under ineligible titles. You may refer to the link provided in message 1 to see what titles are ineligible. You can make a different nomination. Thanks.

[Nidhi]

Oh sorry! I checked bookshelf link on right hand side of the website, and I joined GR last June, Victorians much later , so I missed Shirley .

You can still comment on the Shirley thread, if you want to read the book. I started mine months ago, and haven´t finished it yet, so I might chime in! :)

[Nidhi]

Yes I want to read it this year. I will follow the thread. I wanted to know about the books listed on bookshelf, I have not read most of them, some have tags to-read does that mean we have to read them this year?

No, I guess that´s just books we want to read some day, if anyone suggests them. You can put books you want to read also on your personal to-read shelf, so that you remember which ones interested you.

[Nidhi]

That’s nice arrangement, I will try but first I will look something to nominate which is not already read by group. Thanks.😀

No, it doesn't mean we are to read these books this year. It means the book was added to the bookshelf. The way GR works, we have three designations regarding the status of any given book:

1) read
2) to read
3) currently reading

So this means "to read" becomes the default position when the other two don't apply.

So far we have ...

Black Beauty
North and South
The Odd Women

That’s only three for our poll. I’ll leave the nomination thread up for a few more days before setting up the poll.

[Nidhi]

I want to nominate Villette by Charlotte Brontë.

[Rosemarie]

I would like to nominate In a Glass Darkly by J. Sheridan Le Fanu.

[Piyangie, Moderator]

Books nominated so far

Black Beauty
North and South
The Odd Women
Villette
In a Glass Darkly

[Renee, Moderator]

That gives us 5 nominations here & 8 for Dickens in June so we’re going to close out & set up the poll. It will be ready by Saturday.
Thanks, Everyone!

[Renee, Moderator]

The polls are up and will remain open for one week.
