100 Books Challenge discussion

I liked doing this early last month. Gives us plenty of time to nominate, vote & get the book if we plan to participate. So .....


Please post nominations here for our August group read. Start date will be August 20. Please nominate a book from the list of 100 books on which our group is based that has not already been a group read. A list of previous & current group reads is below. All threads for previous group reads remain open, in case you are reading one of them now and want to make comments.

Here is a link to our 100 Books Challenge list ...

OCD is kicking in ... sigh.

I nominate ...

#73. Murder Must Advertise by Dorothy Sayers

Oh, I love Sayers!! I don't think I've read this one yet. Or if I have it was so long ago that I don't remember. :-)

Lord of the Rings

Yes!!

Thank you)

Ilya, since they are listed separately on our list would you like to pick just one?
The placement in the series differs from placement on our list.
#14 The Fellowship of the Ring
#25 The Two Towers or
#9 The Return of the King

14, cause i think nobody would read from the last one

Ok. Thanks. I need to find my book.

So far we've had 2 nominations. There are 3 days left in case you'd like to nominate a book for our August read. These are the 2 that have been nominated so far:

#73 Murder Must Advertise by Dorothy L. Sayers

#14 The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien

NOMINATIONS ARE CLOSED!

The poll will be up shortly.

Well, I don't know what the issue is, but I cannot get this poll to appear at the top of the page of polls. It's showing as #14 right now. Some of you have found it and I appreciate that.

Ok... I figured it out. It's now at the top of the polls in case you still need to vote. Just makes it a bit easier to find. Many thanks to the 5 of you who searched it out and voted already!

Our group read for August will be The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien. I'm looking forward to this one!

I read it before, and don't wish to re-read. I hope more people participate in the discussion, however.

So do I. Seems more people vote than participate in discussions. I think that's pretty standard for groups. Would really enjoy more participation though.
