Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ

Nominations are now open for the November/December Group Read. You may nominate a book beginning today, going through November 10th. Voting starts the 11th, and runs through the 13th.

Here comes the fine print: I know you've seen this a bajillion times, but we do need to post the general rules for Group Reads nominations:

1) Important: If your nomination wins, you will be the discussion moderator. Please do not nominate a book unless you're willing to do this.

2) One (1) nomination only per person. Neither self-nominations by authors nor nominations by their respective publishers or publicist will be accepted.

3) Do not cheat or manipulate results. It is not acceptable to create fake accounts to nominate books or vote in polls and it is not acceptable to invite people to the site for the sole purpose of nominating a book or voting for a book in a poll. It is not acceptable to ask for votes or influence the poll in any way. If the moderators feel that a group read poll has been manipulated, the book in question will be disqualified. If the moderators feel that the user(s) are fake accounts, these will be reported to Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ for further review.

4) Please do not repeat an author we have read in the last year. For the sake of expediency, here's the list -- just look back through November of last year going forward, and you'll know which authors NOT to include.

5) For your nomination please include Title, Author and Link (Use the "add book/author" link at the top of the comment box).

6) Since we are an international group, please check to make sure the book is readily available in more than one format. The last thing we want is to nominate a book that no one can get.

7) Finally, a word about series - Please consider whether the book you are nominating would be best read by someone who has read all the previous books in the series, or if it can be enjoyed by someone new to the series too.

Have fun and good luck!!

I think The Martian is a sci-fi novel; let's stick to crime, mystery, thriller here. Thanks.

Hi! I nominate Papyrus: A Thriller by John Oehler.

Iron Lake I nominate "Iron Lake" by William Kent Krueger

Good day everyone! I don't know if espionage thrillers are acceptable, I'm just wondering. If so, I would like to nominate Red Sparrow by Jason Matthews. If not though, I suggest you try that one. Very original and simply breathtaking (at least to me). Thanks anyway!

I nominate Werewolf: August, 1945

Red Sparrow is definitely acceptable! And it's good.

I am coming in late with my nomination; I deliberated on this for awhile; originally, I want to nominate The Face of a Stranger by Anne Perry because I am fascinated with her past.

For many reasons, I am going to choose The Mercedes Coffin by Faye Kellerman. I adore her novels.

Really neat book made into good movie with Fred MacMurray (sp ?) of all people. I think it's a film by Billy Wilder.

Just bought it yesterday. Great idea. Thanks.

I nominate Blue Labyrinth. /book/show/2...

I am going to nominate this Storm Front.
It's the 1st in a series and looks like a detective novel with a fantasy twist.

Squeezing in a few moments of computer time on my daughter's computer while on vacation to nominate Rules Of Prey by John Sandford.

Into the Darkest Corner by Elizabeth Haynes. About OCD and domestic abuse.

Pig Island by Mo Hayder.

Oh my gosh! The group did read that book! I'll send a message to the nominator & see if she wants to replace it with another book. Thanks, Matt.

I nominate Dark Places by Gillian Flynn, I just finished reading it. It is amazing!
