You'll love this one...!! A book club & more discussion

It was a close race for the April Theme between "Girl in the Title" and "Books adapted into TV/Film" but "Girl in the Title" won by just 1 vote!

It's now time to nominate books. So if you have a book suggestion that has a title with the word "girl" in it, go ahead and nominate it.

Please note, no plurals or compound words.

Alternatively, you can second someone else's nomination instead, and that will count as your own nomination, and that book will be entered an extra time in random.org - giving the book an additional chance to make the cut.

Nominations can be seconded multiple times by different people . If you second a nomination, please make clear that is what you are doing. E.g. If I nominate "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", you need to state "I second Harry Potter and the Philosopher's stone".

A couple of points to consider when nominating:

- To allow enough time for as many people as possible to read, try and limit the page count to approximately 400 pages maximum.

- To ensure the book is available for as many readers as possible, please consider whether your nomination is 1) still in print or 2) available as a reasonably-priced e-book (under $12) or 3) published no less than 3 months ago.

- Please check the YLTO Group Book Shelf to ensure we haven't already read the book in the last 2 years before nominating it.

- One nomination/seconding per person.

Only 5 books will be selected to be in the poll when it comes to voting.

Nominations close 23rd March

This sounds interesting Jannene - I second The Girl Who Wrote in Silk

I think we have plenty of nominations now. So we'll stop with the nominations but continue with the seconding until 23rd.
