Nominate December, 2022 **VOTING CLOSED**

[Barbara]

Nominations are now open for December, 2022! Typically we do a Christmas read in December. Let's do it again!

The authors exempt from nomination, since we've already selected one of their books this year are, Laura Blount, Laura Bradford, Linda Byler, Amy Clipston, Suzanna Woods Fisher, Amanda Flower, Charlotte Hubbard, Kate Lloyd, Marta Perry, and Sarah Price. We do make exceptions for novella collections. 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!

Raven, we read that one in December of 2012. You may be able to find a buddy that will read with you. Could you pick another for the group, please?

Barbara,

I got the message you sent me. it said that you weren't accepting messages so I couldn't respond to the message there. i apologize that I nominated a book that was already read. I did put a second nomination up this past Monday. Thanks for reaching out and sorry I didn't double check with the first book.

Sometimes the Love Inspired authors are really excellent. I've found 2 very talented authors through those series.

I actually read this book in June this year, so I won't be joining you for December. I will join again in January! Enjoy the read, it is a great book.
