L.E.a D.s Book Club discussion

It's time to nominate books for August's group read. Please go ahead and suggest a book.

If you don't want to nominate your own book, you can second someone else's nomination instead. Only 5 books will be selected to be in the poll when it comes to voting. Nominations will close July 15th.

Review the nomination/voting rules before you post.

I'd suggest A Woman of Independent Means by Elizabeth Forsythe Hailey - it's an interesting take on an American woman's life from 1899 - 1970. Lots to think about & a traditionally 'charming' style, mostly.

Melanie’s suggestion sounds really interesting.

A Woman of Independent Means does sound interesting, Ruth. Do you want to second Melanie's nomination or do you have a different book that you'd like to nominate?

Lanelle,

The only reason that I'm not seconding the nomination is that I'm not sure I'll get around to reading it, so I feel as if I shouldn't have a vote. But if no one else has a suggestion, then, yes — I'm seconding the nomination!

Ruth

I nominate Dear Enemy by Jean Webster. It is the sequel to her well-known book, Daddy-Long-Legs. It is free to read on gutenberg.org and free to listen to on Librivox.

The poll is ready. You can find it at the bottom of our group's main page or follow the link I provided. Voting ends on the 25th of July.

Ooh, this is a good one too :)

Both books will be good stories to read. People are going to have a tough time deciding.

The voting is closed and the book we'll read in August is Dear Enemy.

Melanie, I hope you'll nominate A Woman of Independent Means again. I've already found a copy of it.
