Who would like to take their turn selecting the nominations for the upcoming rotating month in June?
Previous nominators for this series: February fantasyfan April bfisher The only requirements for the month's selections are that they are literary, that none have been the monthly selection of either book club yet (nominees can be previous nominees though) and that they number at least four. That’s it, pretty simple. Spoiler:

Kingsley Amis - Lucky Jim Spoiler:
Possession - A S Byatt Spoiler:
Graham Greene - Travels with my Aunt Spoiler:
Andreï Makine - Le Testament Français AKA Dreams of My Russian Summers Spoiler:
David Malouf - Dream Stuff Spoiler:
Alice Munro - Friend of My Youth Spoiler:
V S Naipaul - The Mystic Masseur Spoiler:
Annie Proulx - That Old Ace in the Hole Spoiler:

I'll have the vote thread up within a day.
I haven't read any of these and this list has a lot of authors I haven't read yet but want to try. |

Thank you! A bit of a mixed bag but I tried to put in a few different nationalities to mix things up.
