Nobody going to vote for Last Prophet, anyway, because, sorry, if I'm not right, it's look like spam all this posts. so no needs to keep it posting. If I can I even wouldn’t enter it in vote pool

Thanks to everyone who nominated this month!

Some nominations were left out due to incomplete information.

Others were left out due to suspected "pushing", which is not allowed within these group read nominations... My earlier attempts to attract ownership for those nominations did not succeed, so I was forced to make a decision and I stand behind the decision I have made.

Going to set up the polls now. I will let you know as soon as they are open for voting.

[Lori, Super Mod]

Yee Haw... Polls have been opened.

They close on Christmas Eve.

May the best books win!!!!

[Dee]

i did make it a goal to read more classics in this next year and I think I have the audio of Tale of Two Cities...so I might try it out

[Lori, Super Mod]

Awesome!

[Dee]

and i've heard really good things about Night Circus from lots of my friends

[Lori, Super Mod]

It was the big buzz book at BEA this year. Not sure what to make of it.. but seems those who've read are really enjoying it!

[Dee]

even my friends who primarily read romance enjoyed it...i'm scared that I won't because its been so hyped up...KWIM?

[Krista]

Love, love, love The Night Circus in both traditional reading and audio format. Love it and excited to discuss with two different Goodreads groups in January. Squeeee!

[Yuliya]

yes! It was on my list - The Night Circus, anyway! So, I'm glad it's club reading! Not sure I can make it this month (it's to popular and library has a big waiting list), but whenever I got it, I will put everything aside to read this book! So exited!

[Lori, Super Mod]

Dee, I know EXACTLY what you mean. I just finished listening to the audio of THE PASSAGE, which was a huge hype book last year and I was so underwhelmed by it...

[Lori, Super Mod]

Haha Krista, I love your goodreads name!

[Krista]

Thanks, Lori! I change it up and have been through quite a few during my time on Goodreads including IKIWIKI, Nayana, my full name, and most recently just my first name. After meeting several other Kristas on GR, I thought it best to distinguish my name a bit further. :o)

[Cassie]

I am super excited. I didn't think I was going to get to participate in any of the book discussions this month on here, but I am going to be able to. One of my friends is loaning their copy of The Night Circus to me and found out the partner has a copy of A Tale of Two Cities. Get to participate in both. SUPER EXCITED. :-) It pays to have friends that read!!

[Lori, Super Mod]

Hey Eric, way to go! That is more than I can ask for, and hooray for finding very inexpensive ways to participate :)

[Pumpernickel]

Cat. 2 Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh
I'd love to discuss this book !

[Rebecca]

Cat 1 - The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern

Cat 2 - A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smth

[Yuliya]

Rebecca! January books already was nominated: these are The Night Circus and A Tale of Two Cities.

[Yuliya]

I'm so happy! Night Circus already at home. I just need to finish (Probably tomorrow) Jamaica Inn which I also very like!

[Rebecca]

Thanks for the info. I'm new to this site and still learning the ins and outs. I'm looking forward to reading both books (rereading A Tale of Two Cities). Happy New Year to you!

[Babs]

Can't wait to get started on Night Circus. It's been recommended by friends in my yahoo group as well as friends here at Bookreads. Not usually my kind of book so a little bit skeptical and a whole lot hopeful.
Trying to finish The Paris Wife this weekend, my first with this group.

[Pumpernickel]

When does the discussion on A Tale of Two Cities begin ?

... Wow... First post of the year !!! (^_^) ! Heh.

[Lori, Super Mod]

Oops. Sorry. Been so busy around the house I forgot to open the threads.
