We certainly are getting a number of great books proposed in short order. I will use the second of my nominations to put
The Silent Steppe in to the fully nominated column. I will also third
The 42nd Parallel. I well hold back my final nomination to have it available as things progress further.

Found also in many e-libraries through overdrive and is fulfilled in epub and even in Kindle format (for applicable regions/libraries). Even Australia hasn't missed out.
So availability shouldn't be too much of an issue.
This is the book I would have nominated if Australia had won the regional vote in November. I've wanted to read this book for a while and it would be lovely to discuss it with you all.

I had never heard anything about
Year of Wonders, but the name Geraldine Brooks rang a bell. Checking I discovered that I had read
Caleb's Crossing because it was the choice of a book club at my local library. Caleb, have you read this? What did you think of it? It occurs to me that you perhaps have read this and liked it so much that you picked Caleb as a screen name?
