I know it's kinda early but I like to do it this way. One week we nominate. then the next we vote. and then you guys have at least a week or less to get the book(s).

I say we keep doing fun themes just to make it interesting. So for May either nominate a book with the word "May" in the title or within the name of the author or a type of flower in the title or on the cover.

So my nomination is Honolulu by Alan Brennert by Alan Brennert

Tracy | 71 comments I too wanted to read Honolulu, but it is the second one in the series and I still need to read Moloka'i by Alan Brennert ...

Can we have more than one nomintation?


message 3: by Tracy (new)

Tracy | 71 comments I Nominate The Walk by Richard Paul Evans (it doesn't have flowers on it, but it does have trees) or Lady of Milkweed Manor by Julie Klassen

Honolulu is not a continuation of Moloka'i but it is his second book so it is up to the reader I guess.

Yes you can nominate more than one but no more than two!

Trees can count I guess. THX Tracy!

Lyn (Readinghearts) (lsmeadows) Donna is right. Although Honolulu is Alan Brennert's second book, the stories are stand alone. BTW - They are both excellent books.

Pamela Gosh the nominations are AWESOME! Just to get a May out there though...I nominate Our Only May Amelia (Harper Trophy Books) by Jennifer L. Holm by Jennifer L. Holm. It's a Newbery Honor so it would be children's..... but it must be good if it is a Newbery Honor so....just to mix it up a little.

Polls are open so go ahead and vote!

Thanks guys for all your nominations!

SO I am looking at the poll and see that Moloka'i is winning! It is a very good book. I read it for 2 of my book clubs.

Some of you have already read it too so for those who have read it would you want to read Honolulu??

OR should we read the runner up, which looks like Peony in Love???

OR-OR we could just deal with it and have the one book and we can read whatever we want???

Let me know your thought?

Since Moloka'u won and many of us had already read it I figured that we also read Honolulu!
