I'm glad The Time Traveler's Wife made the list. I thought about nominating that one myself, but when I saw it still wasn't available at Amazon, I erroneously assumed it wasn't available anywhere. For those of you who may not know, Audrey Niffenegger despises e-books, and has written some very unkind words about them. She's was the roadblock for so long to her book being made available in an electronic format.

If it's still possible to nominate a 10th book I'd like to put forth "Blind Trust" by Nancy Kopp. It has a mystery and some romance as well. Blind Trust It's available via Amazon.

So far, 8 of the 9 nominated titles are available through Overdrive. Three are audio only though.
Behold, Here's Poison Dirty Little Secrets (not available yet at my library though) The English Patient I Capture the Castle (audio only) (not at my library though) Never Let Me Go Outlander (long wait list for me, 59+ people) Portrait of Jennie (audio only) (not at my library though) The Time Traveler's Wife (audio only) The only one not available in any form at Overdrive appears to be Local Custom. |

Blind trust, (which needs a 3rd nomination) is an ebook. I don't know if it's on overdrive, but it's only $2.99 for a copy over at Amazon.

I listened to it as an audiobook, so I was unaware of the ebook issues. Thanks for finding a source. |

Oh what the Hell. I nominate The English Patient. It's not it's best but it's still very good. A lot better than the melodramatic movie adaption...

I had already read this so no loss for me. I wish I had gotten the nomination in sooner for you Mobilereaders to consider, a fantastic book.
