Write here which book would you like to read in January.
The full list of VMC books you can find on our to-read shelf.

For the sake of diversity, please don't nominate books from previous poll, that is:
China Court by Rumer Godden
The Talented Mr Ripley by Patricia Highsmith
Shadows on the Rock by Willa Cather.
You will be able to nominate them again after a month.

You can nominate 1 or 2 books. The rest of the rules you can find here.

If no one else adds this weekend another book, I will end the nominations on Monday, with two novels from Hermione Jane.
