Middlemarch by George Eliot as it was originally published in December

I nominate The Story of the Trapp Family Singers by Maria Augusta von Trapp (published in 1949).

The Misses Mallett: The Bridge Dividing by E.H. Young

A Jest of God by Margaret Laurence Second time could be the charm. I can lead.

Shirley by Charlotte Bronte and Towards Zero by Agatha Christie

It already has four votes!

I'd like to nominate "Love in a Cold Climate" by Nancy Mitford and "Look Back with Love" by Dodie Smith, if memoirs are acceptable in a literature group!

Yippee!

I am so happy! Lately all the books have been ones I have already read--but not this one! I will be reading with the group again! (overuse of exclamation points, but you get the gist).
