Updated to this point. Please let us know if you notice any errors. Thank you.

According to the first post:

We are getting close as there are 8 fully nominated books and we only need 2 more fully nominated books. [I'm off to bed, so if someone could keep watch, please.]


Post #13 contains the nominated books and Post #1 will show the fully nominated books.

**Thank you for the Shogun link, beppe. I used the "Shōgun" spelling to search instead of the "Shogun" spelling. **

It would be really cool if we could get a third for The Great War and Modern Memory and The Woman Who Walked Into Doors to complete the ten. Just saying.

oh, thanks for that!

One warning about Shogun: It's quite a tome: 26264 Kindle locations / ~600,000 words.

I discovered it when someone was suggesting it on the Anna Karenina thread. I've always been fascinated by the Japanese Sengoku period, so I started reading a few days ago.

So far this is most engaging book I read this year. Even if it does not get a third nomination, I suggest everyone who likes a well written adventure with a historic background put it on their reading list.

If we get a third for The Book of Fate then we'll be at 9 and will need just one more to got o a vote.

I'd second or third some other choice with my last vote, but I'd probably be dooming my nomination.

I'll use my third nomination to nominate yet another book.

I hereby nominate Hounded by Kevin Hearne



Quote:
Atticus O'Sullivan, last of the Druids, lives peacefully in Arizona, running an occult bookshop and shape-shifting in his spare time to hunt with his Irish wolfhound. His neighbors and customers think that this handsome, tattooed Irish dude is about twenty-one years old - when in actuality, he's twenty-one centuries old. Not to mention: He draws his power from the earth, possesses a sharp wit, and wields an even sharper magical sword known as Fragarach, the Answerer.

Unfortunately, a very angry Celtic god wants that sword, and he's hounded Atticus for centuries. Now the determined deity has tracked him down, and Atticus will need all his power - plus the help of a seductive goddess of death, his vampire and werewolf team of attorneys, a sexy bartender possessed by a Hindu witch, and some good old-fashioned luck of the Irish - to kick some Celtic arse and deliver himself from evil.
The following link is to a review. May contain spoilers.

http://www.bloodofthemuse.com/2011/0...e-del-rey.html


From the review...
Quote:
Kevin Hearne has done the impossible in Hounded, the first volume in the Iron Druid Chronicles. He makes druids cool, elevating the class beyond just a Kaiser employee with a better attitude.
