It's time to vote for our March Classic Selection!

Please select a one book from our Classics Bookshelf and place your nomination here.

Nominations end February 7th at which point the poll goes up.

Please refer to this shelf of Books Already Read so that we don't nominate previous selections.

Let the nominations begin...

I nominate To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf

Since the film will be out soon, I'd like to nominate The Giver by Lois Lowry. I read it quite awhile ago, and now it has become a four book series:

The Giver
Gathering Blue
Messenger
Son

Things Fall Apart
A three word title for the third month of the year.

Trifecta!

When i think of "Things Fall Apart," I think of my kitchen cabinets.

The Giver sounds like a great option before the movie comes out… I actually read this when my 30 year old son was in junior high and reading it for a class and would love to reread!

I nominate The Stranger by Albert Camus. His writing is fantastic and I think others would enjoy him as well.

LOL! Laura you make me laugh:))

The Giver was one of my favorite school required book that we had to read. I found out about a year ago that there is actually 4 books. They are waiting patiently on my TBR shelf.

So many great books! And so many on my to-be read shelf too! I think I'll second the nomination of Things Fall Apart.

Since I want at least one book on the ballot I haven't already read, I'll nominate Kate Chopin's The Awakening

haha! thanks Julia! great picture! I should make that my profile pic! lol

the giver is winning. I hear it is to be made into a movie!

I hear that too Laura! I will be excited to re-read it if it wins. It is one of my favorites. I also downloaded the other 3 books:)

hey Alicia! I feel your pain. but
you voted for To The Light House which was ahead for most of the poll. the classic selection I voted for happened to win this month, but usually both the selections I rally for end up not winning! And remember you can always set up a side read or a buddy read.
