Group Reads Nominations for Fall Challenge

[scherzo♫]

The Rules: "The people whose books are actually chosen for the official group reads task will not be eligible to pick books for this task again and people will not be allowed to pick a book 2 challenges in a row."

Who nominated the books we're reading now (The ABC Murders, The Book Thief, The Hunger Games)?

Who nominated the books for the Spring Challenge (The Historian, The Golden Compass, The Handmaid's Tale)?

Who nominated books in the last challenge (pool that current books were chosen from)?

I picked Hunger Games.

[Elizabeth (NC)]

I nominated books for the last challenge.

[El]

I also nominated, but none of the ones we're reading were ones I suggested.

[Rebecca NJ]

I also nominated and like El, none of the ones we're reading were ones I suggested.

[Erin (NY)]

I also nominated for this challenge, but none of my nominations got picked.

[Lisa]

I nominated last challenge, but my books were not picked.

[Jayme(theghostreader)]

I never got a chance to nominate. I never get to finish the challenge.

[El]

Jayme, it doesn't matter for this one if you finish the challenge or not. Names for nominations are chosen randomly - as long as you've participated in the challenge, you have a chance of being chosen to nominate some titles.

[Sandie]

I nominated for this challenge, but my books were not picked.

[Petra]

I'm not sure if Cynthia is able to get/answer any email or messages. However, if she could be reached, I'm sure she has all the names/books nominated listed in her files. She may be able to pass them forward rather quickly.

[Jennifer N.]

I nominated for this challenge, but my books were not picked.

[Kim]

I nominated for this challenge- but my books were not picked.

Good idea! I sent the email.

Hi everybody,

Since we hope to have the readerboard through the midpoint firmed up today, tomorrow I will be contacting the top 3 people on the board who are eligible to select categories for the fall challenge. Once the categories are set, I'll be sending an email to the next 27 people who are eligible, asking for nominations in those categories.

If you NOMINATED a book for the summer challenge (regardless of whether it was selected), you're not eligible to nominate for the fall challenge. If you've nominated a book which was selected as a group read for previous challenges, you're not eligible to nominate again. People who nominated for the spring challenge, but whose book was not selected, are eligible to nominate again for the fall challenge.

I've gone through the posts here and in the other threads, and tried to make a list of everyone who has responded that they nominated/selected a book. Here's the list I've compiled - it's entirely possible that I've missed some, since there are posts in other threads as well. Clearly, this isn't a complete list, since 30 people would have nominated for summer, and 3 people nominated the books that were selected for the spring group reads.

If you nominated a book for consideration for the Summer group reads, or if you nominated one of the books that has been chosen for any of the previous group reads, and you're not listed here, please post in this thread, so I can get this moving.

Thanks!

I am one of the people who nominated a book last (Summer) challenge who is not on the list. My choice was one of the books that was selected.

Thanks, Diane.

[Cassandra]

I don't think I'm one of the 27 people, but I nominated a book too. The House of Leaves.

Thanks, Rhea.

[Leslie]

Sandy, I was one of the 30 people chosen to nominate a book for this challenge.

[Kim D]

I nominated a book for this challenge.

[Coralie]

Strictly speaking, I am probably still eligible as I nominated for the Spring challenge and none of my books were chosen. However, all three of the books I nominated have been voted on (one for the spring and the other two for this challenge) and one of them was chosen for this challenge. So, I think I have had my fair share of chosing and am willing to pass the choice on to someone else.

[kiki]

i nominated a book for spring challenge, and it was selected.

[Zimbellina]

I nominated The Historian for Spring.

Just an FYI to everyone - I'm waiting for a response from the last potential "category chooser." Once I receive that, I'll send out emails to the next 27 people on the list who appear to be eligible, asking for nominations in the categories.
