It's time to nominate your choice for our December 2019 group fiction read - please use this thread to nominate.

Nominations start today and will close on 10th November.

During this time anybody can nominate and second one book each. You cannot second the book you have nominated. The 6 books with the most second votes at the end of the 7 day nomination period will go into the poll. There are no limits to the number of seconds a book can receive.

The poll will then run until the 18th November 2019 and the winner will be announced shortly after. I hope this will leave everybody with enough time to obtain the chosen book.

Please also check that your chosen nomination hasn't been a group read in the past. You can do this by looking at the group bookshelf, contact one of the moderators or post on 'Ask the Moderators' thread

If you have any questions on the nominations process please contact me, use the 'Ask the Moderators' thread or post on here and we will be happy to help

Thank you Diana, if this book doesn't win, I will definitely nominate it myself for January. It's a good book for this time of year.

I’ll second this - it was amazing! If it wins, I’ll read the second in the trilogy.
