okay no worries! Yep, I nominate We Have Always Lived In A Castle. I'll nominate God-Shaped Hole for the monthly read. August- as I've already nominated You by Caroline Kepnes. Sorry for the confusion :)

@Saarah No worries :) I liked the synopsis of God-Shaped Hole. Looks good.

Updated.

The Nominations for July will be ending in 5 Day's time. Please second all the books you would be willing to read with us. The top 7 will be selected.

I would suggest not to nominate new books. They probably won't be seconded enough to be selected.

The Nominations for July will be ending in 24 hours or less.

Note that the Sprint will be held in the first two weeks of July (as decided through the poll). Please only second books. New nominations will not be added.

The Nominations are now closed. Since only 7 books were nominated, they have all been selected for July Sprint.
