✔️ You may nominate one (1) book.

✔️Only members who have actively participated in prior book discussions will be permitted to nominate books for the following month. If you have recently joined the group, please do participate in the current month's discussion so you qualify as a valid nominator.

✔️By entering a nomination you are agreeing to act as our Discussion Leader for the month-long Book Discussion for that book, if it wins.

Don't worry it is neither difficult nor time consuming. The moderators are here to help in the event that you need a hand. Please refrain from nominating a book if you are not prepared to lead the discussion.

This is considered a mystery? I did not know that.

This book was not published 50 or more years ago (1990). Great book, but don't think it fits the classic category.

I moved this book to the general nomination, Christopher!

Hi Christine,

Anne of Green Gables is a classic. However, it does not fit into the rules of a classic for this group.

Pam that book isn’t a mystery book and that’s my fault Jenny
