The book selection category for July is Free-For-All, or as I like to call it, the Now's the Time to Nominate Books from my TBR List month.

I will third The Golem and the Djinni

On other fronts, I'm seeing a lot of $11.99 nominations, which seems to have missed the sweet spot. Fine for those who are really interested, but a daunting expenditure for the lukewarm. Some are long 'uns, too. Yet Nothing But Blue Skies, which is short, light, summery and only six bucks has been left to languish. Ah, well. You can lead a horse to water, etc. I'm also going to point out that the fully-nominated City of Djinns is a steal at only $4.99. |
OK, I'll bite. Second for Nothing but Blue Skies. (And even though I'm guilty of supporting an $11.99 nomination, I do agree with you. And I did make sure that it at least was on Overdrive.)
|
Yes, Overdrive availability or inexpensive (<$5) is very important to me, so I won't nominate/second unless it meets that criteria, mostly. Of course Overdrive availability varies.
|
Okay, then. My third and last vote goes to third Nothing but Blue Skies.
|
Thanks, gents! :D

My nominations
I second The Case of The Sulky Girl and nominate The Maze Runner by James Dashner, which was nominated last year; I don't know if it qualifies to be nominated again.
And also from my TBR list The Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk Goodreads review Links Maze Runner at Kobo Maze Runner at Amazon Fight Club at Kobo Fight Club at Amazon |
I will second The Maze Runner. I can get it from my library and we need more options.
|
I'm going to nominate Something New/Something Fresh, the first of P.G. Wodehouse's Blandings Castle novels. I can't imagine anything more delightful than a Wodehouse summer read. Something New is the original title of its 1915 US publication; it was published the following year in the UK as Something Fresh. As the date indicates, it's public domain in the US and thus a free read for us Yanks.

Hmmm... Issy, I can't find the $2.99 Whispersync/free ebook deal as your link takes me straight to the full price at Audible, but I did find this $2.99+99¢ Whispersync deal:
https://www.amazon.com/Something-New.../dp/B00KZFPKPU And also this $3.95 Audible deal on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Something-New/dp/B00PUWCJ1Q |
Thanks, Tom. I was struggling with Audible a bit as I'd already bought the audiobook and I obviously missed the right combination.
Just as an FYI to anyone, the PD Wodehouse Kindle books and the $2.99 Whispersync audio books are really a terrific deal. |
I second Something New/Something Fresh. I have never read anything by Wodehouse and Book club selection would be a nice start.
|
C'mon, folks, I'm begging. A little over a day to get a third for Something New/Something Fresh. Either you already love Wodehouse or you will, once you've read him. And it's free! And funny! And for audiobibliophiles, the audiobook is cheap! What's not to love?
|
I use my second nomination for Something New/Something Fresh.
