OK, maybe we can stick it into August then? Don't mind, just sounded like a really interesting read.

Maybe for Q4, Gisela?

Norse mythology sounds good. I’ll second that.

Whatever suits.

I'm confused, how are a bunch of fables (Norse Mythology) labelled non-fiction? None of those stories are true!

That is a fair point. I have seen it in fiction and history. I will change my nomination though to
The Stopping Places: A Journey Through Gypsy Britain

ooh that looks good. I'll second it.

In that case I'll second the book of humans

I’ll nominate Wilding. Isabella Tree. It will help on prize winners lists too. On wainwright’s long list atm

Brilliant book.

Not read it yet Paul. Next on list. Hence my selfish second.

Sorry selfish recommendation.

Just hoping someone will second it before I close the nominations

Hello! Consider it done. I second Pat's nomination!
