I'll second A Year in Provence and Beat Not The Bones.

I'll third A Year in Provence. An excellent book, and I'd love an excuse to re-read it.

I'll also second Downbelow Station. I'm sure I read this when it first released, but I'm always game for an excuse to read Cherryh. And here's some links to the book:
Kindle (US) edition.
Audible
Amazon CA (Way overpriced. buy it at the US store.)
Amazon UK
Kobo Canada (seriously overpriced)
B&N (Also way over priced)

Since it is set in Canada I'll third Deja Dead, despite the fact that I've already read it and I have been trying to nominate/vote for books that are new to me. If it is chosen I'll read #5 in the Temperance Brennan series.

I have nothing to add to the nominations, but I do know where my vote(s) will be going.

Of the books that have three nods, I know which ones I am voting for. I'll decide if any others I'll vote for once they get three nods.

At 624 pages it's rather long, but American Gods has, in the decade since it first appeared, become an instant classic. With 9 minutes to go before the poll loses, I third Neil Gaiman's American Gods.

WT Sharpe 05-27-2015 01:00 AM

The nominations are now closed.

I'll be back shortly with the poll.

WT Sharpe 05-27-2015 01:16 AM

The poll has been posted.

Hmmm. I didn't realize this was a shorter nomination period than we used to have and I thought it was still 10 days. Oops. :o

Had I realized that I would have thirded Downbelow Station just to get another option. Downbelow Station looks interesting but I can't get it from my library so I had only been holding off in hopes that something available from my library would get nominated.

Next time I will know better.

Bad me. RTFM or RTFI(nstructions) in this case...

Thomas Clark 08-12-2015 10:06 PM

I would pick American Gods by Neil Gaiman.
