I bought this on my kindle for 49p just in case!

Nice! Even if it doesn’t end up becoming the Autumn Read, it looks like a good one!

I nominate Rachel Ray by Anthony Trollope. 326 pages.

Nidhi nominates Rachel Ray by Anthony Trollope

I nominate The Haunted Hotel: A Mystery of Modern Venice by Wilkie Collins. 228 pages

I nominate The Princess and the Goblin by George MacDonald, 241 pages

I nominate The Diary of a Nobody by George Grossmith, published in 1892, and approx. 178 pages. Thanks. --Jen from Quebec :0)

Five great choices so far!

If it´s allowed to nominate another book by the same author, I´ll nominate The Warden by Anthony Trollope. 336 pages.

A Trollope is always welcome!

I thought only one nomination/author was allowed...

You’re right. I completely forgot in my Trollope adoration. Thank you, Francis.

Michaela-
You are welcome to nominate something else.

I have never read Trollope, if you all think that Warden will be more enjoyed by the majority as compared to Rachel Ray, I will change my nomination to The Warden.

I nominate The Return of the Native by Thomas Hardy. 448 pages, so just! ;)

Okay, Vics, It’s been over a week and we have 6 nominations so I’m going to close the nomination thread & set up the poll. The poll will be up through the weekend.

The votes are in and we have our Autumn Reads starting with The Haunted Hotel: A Mystery of Modern Venice in September, followed by Rachel Ray (The Mods acted as tie-breakers.) Reading schedules have yet to be determined but we will keep you posted. :)
