Jan 1 - Feb 1: Nominating

[Sara W]

***NORTH AMERICA (BEFORE 1945)***

***FICTION OR NON-FICTION***

Okay everyone, it's that time of the month - time to nominate! Anyone who would like to nominate ONE book may do so in this thread.

The theme this month is NORTH AMERICA (BEFORE 1945) (fiction or non-fiction). United States, Canada, Mexico, Caribbean - lots of choices and flexibility!

Please try to check amazon or some other site to make sure the book is easily available - the last thing we want is to nominate some great book that no one can get! If you nominate more than ONE book, only the first book listed will make it into the voting thread (so save additional books for the next months!). Also, if the book doesn't fit the theme, I won't add it to this month's voting list, but I will carry it over to the next theme that it does fit under if you would like.

Feel free to nominate one book of your choice in this thread until November 18th, 9pm Eastern.

At around that time, I'll make a voting poll and list all the nominated books in it, and people can vote in the poll until the poll closes (set to last through November 23rd). Discussion will start on January 1st.

Happy Nominating!

Gwen Bristow's Calico Palace has just been rereleased. My favorite tale of old California and the Gold Rush.

I enjoyed a few of the books by Isabel Allende... now I have to go find the titles :)

I don't know if this one will count since part of it is in the present. The 19th Wife A Novel

Ok, I enjoyed Isabel Allende's book "Daughter of Fortune"... it's about the gold rush and I thought it was very well written...

Perfectly fine! We've read other books that jump around different periods.
