Room for two more!

How about Death in the Stocks. The group hasn't read it since 2014. (Is that right?)
And yes, I know, it featured earlier this year as one of the 'never want to read again' titles.
However, think of the fun we could have ripping it apart!

[Jackie]

I like ALL the books nominated so far and will happily read any of them again with the group.

Three of them are mysteries & P&P is Georgian. :)

[Susan in NC]

Do you want me to throw a Regency into the pot, Carol? I’m still likely to vote for a mystery, because I love them, but I’m happy to fill out the ranks!

As long as it hasn't been read in the last two years that is fine! :)

[Susan in NC]

Ok, I’ll nominate The Quiet Gentleman, that’s regency, right?

Edit: I checked our last couple polls, and False Colours came in close second for one poll. Can I switch to that? Seems like the group was interested in rereading it! Thanks!

That is indeed, in spite of some editions having a man in Georgian attire on the cover. I'll close this now & put up a poll when I get home. :)

Sorry, I closed the nominations in post #17, but let Susan change her mind about her nomination. Hope everyone ok with that.
