Nominate December, 2021 *VOTING CLOSED*

[Barbara]

Nominations are now open for December 2021!

The authors exempt from nomination, since we've already selected one of their books this year, are Laura Bradford, Wanda Brunstetter, Amy Clipston, Amanda Flower, Charlotte Hubbard, Kelly Irvin, Beverly Lewis, Marta Perry, Sarah Price, and Beth Wiseman, 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 the Christian group read as well).
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!

I was hoping we'd see more nominations by this point in the month. Things were jumping last month! I know I need to do mine yet.

Barbara, I want to read that book too!!!

[Barbara]

Hold on! I may have just violated our own rule...

We haven't read Amish Christmas Miracles as a group yet, but both books are short stories and it's not really a sequel. But to follow our rules, I'm switching to Amish Christmas Miracles

That sounds good Karen! I added it to my wishlist and then went to Amazon. The kindle version is only $2.99!! 8-)

[Nancy]

Just checking to see if more titles were added. I'll be hoping, and looking in tomorrow, God willing.
