cat 2: Catalyst by Anne McCaffrey

Cat 2: My Life in France by Julia Child

Cat 1: In Cold Blood by Truman Capote sounds great and is one that has been on my to-read list for awhile now.

I've been wanting to read it ever since I saw the movie.

Great nominations this month!!

Cat. 1: The Trial by Franz Kafka.

Cat 2: Frankenstein, Mary Shelley

Emily, we just read Frankenstein.... why don't you nominate another book?

Oh blast! I knew that would happen!

Hmmm...how about

Cat 2: The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton

(I hope that's not a duplicate too. I couldn't find it on the group read shelf, though I may have missed it!)

Now I just have to create the polls so you can start voting. Give me some time on that. When the polls are ready I will change the title to this thread and comment here.

Ok, Polls are open, go ahead and start voting.

Voting will close Tuesday morning. You can vote once per category.

Great job with the submissions this month everyone!

Lori, The entry for Madeleine is Sleeping and Shanghai Girls are bunched into one choice instead of two different books. Thought you might wanna change that!

opps! How did I do that, lemme fix it right now! Thanks.

I nominated Orlando for Category 1 (since Virginia Woolf was already represented in Category 2).

I apologize, but it seems I am unable to move it now. There is one vote against it. SorrY!

Funny that the top two books in both categories both got 15 and 14 votes each. Close races! Can't wait for Fingersmith

The Winners are::::

Reg Fic/Non Fic - THE REMAINS OF THE DAY
Woman Author - FINGERSMITH


Congrats to the winners!! Look forward to seeing what everyone has to say when the folders open on Sept 1st!

We are also adding a 3rd book to the group read list for the month of September - THE ART OF DEVOTION. It was a 10 book giveaway I hosted that will be discussed here with surprise appearances by the author! Even if you didn't win a copy, you can still join us for the discussion!

Only three days to vote? I missed it. I would have made poll #1 a tie.

I missed it also; Lori did say Tuesday morning (I thought it was end of the day) but did not give an actual time (or time zone). I was leaning toward Capote also which, between our two votes, would have made a bit of a difference!

It did seem like the voting period was much shorter this month. I for one would have liked to see your votes boost Capote to the top!

Sorry guys, I got a late start with the noms, and had to cut the voting as well....

next month guys we'll vote Capote in!

That's the book by a woman author that won? I was kind of hoping for an awesome classic of a book that would convince people to read more books by women. And I've already read something of hers for my blog too. Darn.

Cat. 2and 1: Agatha Christie Murder in Mesopotamia

huh? Alex, the group reads are already chosen, as you can see by the title of the thread.

Also, if nominations were open, you could only nominate for one category.

cat 1- The Story of My Life by Helen Keller

Gabriella, as Lori wrote in the post right before yours... the group reads for September are already done. If you go to the polls (top right of the TNBBC page) you can vote for which book you want to read during October. We're already reading the September wins.
