Women's Classic Literature Enthusiasts discussion

It's time for October's nominations. There is no theme for this month, and nominations are limited to two per person.

You are not required to nominate only novels, but can nominate non-fiction, poetry, plays and short stories.

Your nominations cannot have been read by the group in the past three years. You can check our bookshelf here: https://www.goodreads.com/group/books...

You can nominate up to two works that are written by a woman and published before 1976. Please state whether or not you can lead the discussion.

Nominations will end on August 20th.

I nominate Frankenstein: The 1818 Text by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, and A View Of The Harbour by Elizabeth Taylor. I can lead.

This group discussed Frankenstein in 2016

I nominate Blaming by Elizabeth Taylor and The Mill on the Floss - George Eliot.

October calls for something spooky

We Have Always Lived in the Castle Shirley Jackson I can lead.

When are we voting?

Please vote by August 27

The choices are:
1. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6... by Elizabeth Taylor (Blaming) Goodreads isn't cooperating.
2. Frankenstein: The 1818 Text by Mary Shelley
3. A View of the Harbor by Elizabeth Taylor
4. The Mill on the Floss by George Eliot
5. We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson

You can direct message me to vote, or post it in the thread. Only votes from people on the eligible list will be counted, so if I missed your name in a discussion that's taken place the past year, please let me know.
