All About Books discussion

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

Nominations start today and will close on 9th December.

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 16th December 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

Thank you, I was going to second this myself, I want to give this book another chance, I listened to the audiobook and was very disappointed in it. I would love to give it another chance.

I believe that The Luminaries has already been a group fiction read (in Jan. 2015).

Oh darn, thanks for letting me know Leslie

Well, I was thinking after I hit post that in 5 years, there are probably enough people who hadn't been involved in that earlier group read that it wouldn't make a difference... Let's just see how the voting goes.

Normally I check, I think with Christmas I was trying to push the voting through and get it done quickly to be honest.
