All About Books discussion

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

Nominations start today and will close on 20th January. Apologies for the short nomination period

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 27th January 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.

Yes it is, but apparently the book is very different to the Netflix movie

I thought, when I read it, that it was REALLY good!

So far, all our nominated books are going to the poll, we still have one space left to fill.

I know nothing about any of these books so won't venture a second. I will try to look into them a little so I can make a choice once the poll opens!

I will nominate “Little fires everywhere”by Celeste Ng

Oooo.......I'll second that one.

Bird Box by Josh Malerman - with two seconds
The Girls by Emma Cline - with two seconds
The Sudden Appearance of Hope by Claire North with one second
Night Work by Thomas Glavinic - with one second
Brazzaville Beach by William Boyd - with one second
Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng - with one second

That's our poll filled up but there's still time for this to change. If another book is nominated and gets more than one second, it will bump the last book entered into the poll.

We have one more day until nominations close and I set up the poll. Because I have a busy day tomorrow I might do it early and will send out a message with a link to the poll.

Thank you all for taking part and nominating your books.

I second second Night Work

Nominations are now closed.
