All About Books discussion

It's time to nominate your choice for our August and September 2019 group non-fiction read - please use this thread to nominate.

Nominations start today and will close on 17th July 2019 or when we filled the poll with six books.

During this time anybody can either nominate or second a book. The 6 books with the most second votes at the end of the 7 day nomination period will go into the poll. Each person can either nominate one book or second one book. There are no limits to the number of seconds a book can receive.

The poll will then run until the 25th July 2019 and the winner will be announced shortly after. I hope this will leave everybody with enough time to obtain the chosen book.

Please only nominate, second or vote for a book you will read with the group if it should win. Please also check that your chosen nomination hasn't been a group read in the past. You can do this by looking at the group bookshelf, contact one of the moderators or post on 'Ask the Moderators' thread

If you have any questions on the nominations process please contact me, use the 'Ask the Moderators' thread or post on here and we will be happy to help.

I want to kick this off by nominating Unnatural Causes by Richard Shepherd

I'd like to nominate Chernobyl: The History of a Nuclear Catastrophe by Serhii Plokhy. I believe this is the book they based the mini-series on.

this is going to hurt Adam Kay

I nominate The Rosetta Stone, the Decipherment of the Hieroglyphs by Robert Solé

I’ll nominate Seven Fallen Feathers: Racism, Death, and Hard Truths in a Northern City

I second Seven Feathers.

I nominate January First: A Child's Descent into Madness and Her Father's Struggle to Save Her by Michael Schofield Thanks! --Jen from Quebec :0)

I second Chernobyl by Serhii Plokhy

How about Moondust: In Search Of The Men Who Fell To Earth by Andrew Smith in honour of the 50th anniversary of the moon landing.

I second Moondust by Andrew Smith!

I've never heard of it before, but it sounds very interesting!! Plus, I love the idea of reading a book that goes with the 50th anniversary. Super cool!
