Feb 2022 Nominations
I would love to nominate Mandu by Malati Ramachandran.
this was a book I really.really loved
I’d like to nominate - The changing world order by Ray Dalio
I nominate " The Soulmate Equation by Christina Lauren" or "The Spanish Love Deception by Elena Armas" for the Valentine Month
Wow Shriti! both great choices. also Loveless by Alice Oseman
I nominate Bag of Bones
I have never read a Stephen King novel and as part of my 2022 resolutions I want to try new authors. Well, atleast he is new for me :-)
Austin, its Feb- Valentine Special. Stephen king is for Halloween. p)

I second "Mandu"
just an offbeat question; why do we second the nominations even when they are all put up for voting?
A question for the mods - just like a Valentine special will we also be doing a Pride month read?Personally, I believe its important - coz some.of the suggestions could be moved then and can get their due recognition ? (lack of a better word)

We can. Depends on how many are nominated.
Mod
Its for when we get more nominations. Then books with more second are put on poll.
an absolute classic. yes ,yes yes.. in that vein, I'd like to also suggest North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell. I'd loved it when I'd first read it eons ago.
Mod
I nominate North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell
Now, I am confused I want to second The Song of Achilles because it's in my TBR but I would love to reread Persuasion, I haven't read it since College.

+1
sure. shall do so pronto over the weekend.
Does it have to be romance? Because the only book that comes to my mind is Pride and Prejudice. And it'll be a reread for almost everyone. Will nominate another book in place of this, if I happen to find something else in the genre.
The Orange Girl by Jostein Garder. this is novella approx 150 pages only but just so.romatic.
Hey! have the poll results for Feb Group read been released?
Yay! thanks Leena. saw the poll results just now. Any other Jane Austen fans here?
So, The Last Thing He Told Me lost only by 1 vote. I thought it'll lose by more :D.Persuasion is fine too. I mean, it's Jane Austen! Well, the universe is definitely conspiring into making me read a romance. :)
Leena wrote: "this will be a fun BOTM"Yes , looks like ! The more the merrier !
And I am surprised my nominated book Bag of Bones by Stephen King bagged 9 votes. I was expecting 1 or 2 votes. I myself didn't vote for my own book. Lol
I really thought the Spulmate Equationn would win hands down. interesting
Austin, funny you said that. coz I think you are expected to moderate the discussion if the book nomination you moot gets selected for BOTM? Group moderators, pls clarify.
I think it's Em who nominated it.id nominated Mandu and North and South which didn't make the cut.
I actually read a few pages of Bag of Bones and didn't like it. I wanted to withdraw my nomination and put some other book instead. But the polls were put up even before 15th of January. Usually polls are put up on or after 15th of every month. And anyway I didn't expect the book to win the nomination seeing other more heavyweight popular books among the book nominations.
If the book had got selected I would have read it by force. I can't just leave it like that.
Mod
Whichever member's nomination wins is expected to lead the discussion.
Mod
So, you're happy with the results? ;)
bag if bones has garnered so much hate..can't believe it's a Stephen king book.
personality looking forward to Persuasion, my copy has arrived.
