Rosemary (mamieauthor) | 58 comments "Sunshine and Her Big Blarney Smile"by Linda Hales is a children's book beautifully illustrated on every page in full color and is staged in Ireland giving you the feeling that Spring is everywhere. Sunshine spreads happiness and makes you feel like it's Spring and full of happiness all year long while teaching children valuable lessons.

I think a children's book would be a refreshing change and St. Patricks Day has just happened so it would be appropriate for being staged in Ireland-the beautiful Emerald Isle.

Bonding with your children begins at home with reading so let's begin today.

Thank You,
Mamie

Kenneth Fore (rustyodelltwitter) | 1 comments My book choice is … The Road to London, by Adriano Bulla. This writer has a special voice. I don’t know what a literary voice is but I can certainly recognize one when I read it. The story deals a lot about the human spirit’s triumphs and defeats. This is the next book I’m reading.

Natalie (creativecountry0407gmailcom) I will nominate Spring Fling by Sabrina James.

Peggy Holloway | 2 comments Julian Carleton - I'm not just another George

by Ethel "Ettie" Cook-Wilson One of the best books by an indie author I've read, out of over three hundred.

Sarah Baethge (22niel) | 3 comments Radiant Shadows by Sarah Baethge
Perhaps this is slightly stretching it, but for 'new beginnings' could I nominate my vampire book, Radiant Shadows?
For the idea of spring and life, a good part of it does involve someone trying to become the polar opposite of a vampire.

I would like to nominate my book Escaping Innocence: A Story of Awakening by Joe Perrone Jr, which has at its core a wild and crazy trip to Florida during a college spring break.

Lilian (lilianjgardner) My nomination is for The Guardian by Nicholas Sparks.
Probably many of you have read it, but I feel it is a book one can read and enjoy twice over.

message 20: by Boyko (new)

Boyko Ovcharov | 8 comments Just a daft question, but could I nominate my own Wandering Feelings, it is about Spring in fact:)
If not, then I'll suggest The Escape of Princess Madeline (Princess Madeline Series), good luck!

Yes, I will create a list tonight, with the nominated options. I apologize for not stating it earlier, but no self-nominations. I will also remove books that we have already discussed. (We read Anonymity in February ;))

I will also close the nominations tomorrow so our options stay reasonable.

Hi Sam,

No, it can be any of one of your favorites that fits the themes.
