All About Books discussion

It's time to nominate your choice for our May 2020 group fiction read - please use this thread to nominate.

Nominations start today and will close on 11th April.

During this time anybody can nominate and second one book each. You cannot second the book you have nominated. The 6 books with the most second votes at the end of the 7 day nomination period will go into the poll. There are no limits to the number of seconds a book can receive.

The poll will then run until the 18th April and the winner will be announced shortly after. I hope this will leave everybody with enough time to obtain the chosen book.

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 understand that during this time, it's a lot more difficult to get a hold of new books but I just want to keep this group running smoothly.

I don't need you to link Nancy, as long as you clearly state the book title and author (because there are so many out there with the same name) that's enough for me. :)

Sorry Gemma. I cannot accept your second as the book has already been a fiction group read in June 2019.
