It's time to nominate a book to read in October.

There is no theme this month and you can nominate two books that haven't been read in the past three years.

The books must have been written by a woman and must be at least 50 years old. Please make sure the books were published before 1973. Please state if you can lead.

You can check our bookshelf for ideas and to see if a book has been read recently. https://www.goodreads.com/group/books...

Nomination end August 15.
