January Group Read (2018) - Nominations
The Conservationist Nadine Gordimer. Thanks! And good idea on the short vote. Julianne
I vote for The conservationist. I really want to read Wolf Hall but only when the last book is about to be published, for my memory is terrible and I wouldn't want to have to re-read it. I'd love to read Paddy Clark as well :)
I vote for Wolf Hall! This is my first time voting, so exciting :D
Firstly, I apologize for how late in the month this is happening. As you can imagine, December is quite a busy month with the holidays and this unfortunately slipped through the cracks for me.
That being said, instead of the usual nomination process, to make things faster and easier, we are going to take the other most voted for books from the December nomination cycle and decide on which one of those to read together in January!
The options are:
1. Paddy Clark Ha Ha Ha by Roddy Doyle
2. Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel
3. The Conservationist by Nadine Gordimer
Please cast your vote for ONE of these books in the comments below. Voting will close at the end of the year (12am on 12/31/17) and the winner will be announced on the 1st of January!
Again, sorry for the rush and poor planning on my part. I will make sure to do better for the February voting. And remember that starting in March we will be reading the International Prize longlist until May, then June we will have 1 group read, and July through October 2018 will be the regular prize longlist reading as well :)
Hope everyone is having a lovely holiday season.
Best,
Max
