Around the Year in 52 Books discussion

We're a little behind this month, but the theme for the August Book of the Month is an alternate history book. For a definition and suggestions, please see this topic.

This year, we decided to use challenge prompts (in this case, no. 32) for Book of the Month so members could participate without have to add side-reads to their plans. Of course, you don't have to use the chosen book for week 32.

For those new to the group, a brief intro on the book of the month may be found here.

Rules:
- One suggestion per user
- A book will enter the poll once someone "seconds" the book
- Seconding a book counts as your suggestion
- Suggestions will remain open for five days or as soon as 5-6 books have been seconded.

Entries:
The Yiddish Policemen's Union
The Underground Railroad
1632
Farthing
Underground Airlines
Dread Nation

Available to be seconded:
The Orphan's Tale

I’d like to nominate The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead

I was thinking about 11/22/63 by Stephen King but I thought it’s maybe a bit too long for a book of the month.

I have so many good options on my shortlist for this prompt.

I nominate The Yiddish Policemen's Union

Second Yiddish Policeman’s Union.

Second the The Underground Railroad.

Nominating Summerland by Hannu Rajaniemi

1632 by Eric Flint. (Sorry I can not add the link I am on my phone.)
It is about an American town from 2000 being transported to Europe in 1632 and how they change the timeline. Funny and interesting.

1632

Here's the link for Anastasia's nomination.

I nominate The Orphan's Tale by Pam Jenoff.

Thank you Lizzy

I nominate Farthing by Jo Walton

I nominate Underground Airlines by Ben Winters.

I nominate Dread Nation by Justina Ireland. (Also, Kindle version available today (7/17) for $1.99)

Sorry Sophie, we already have 6 books seconded, and in hopes of not spreading the vote too thin, we'll keep it to just those 6. Poll to follow shortly.
