If we did, I would (to use an Irish idiom) be riding the bee's back!

Announcement: doubleshuffle noticed that James Stephens, The Crock of Gold author, died in 1950. Even though the book's publication date of 1912 puts it out of copyright in the United States, it still falls afoul of MobileRead's life+70 standard. All copies have been taken offline, and the nomination is, regrettably, disallowed. If you voted for it, you have your vote back.

Well, that's a bummer. I may still go grab it, though the copy won't be as clean as the one here. It actually sounded interesting. (Since I live in a Life+50 country, I can legitimately download it, even though it isn't available from a Canadian site, since it is out of copyright here.)

Bummer indeed! I thought an Irish title would be fun, since March has St. Patrick's Day ad 2016 is the centenary of the Easter Rising.

I've got another Irish nomination in place of Crock of Gold.
A Drama in Muslin by George Moore (1852 - 1933*), who has been called the first great modern Irish novelist, is a satiric story of the marriage trade in Anglo-Irish society. From Goodreads: Quote:
*He shares a death day (not date) with George Orwell and Lytton Strachey. |

Second A Drama in Muslin. We need some more choices here, and an Irish one would be fun.

Third A Drama In Muslin. I think that uses up my nominations.

Speaking of Irish, Star Trek has Scotty who is Irish. So vote for Scotty and his wee bairns.

How come so little love for one of the most recent books in our library, Music of the Spheres by Wander Bonanno? It's Star Trek! It features characters from the original series! It was commissioned by Paramount. The ebook version, edited and proofed by our own JSWolf, even has the author's personal seal of approval! Just one more nod gets it on the ballet, and look at it this way: If it wins, every time in the future that Jon complains about someone nominating a book that isn't the first in a series, you all could throw this in his face! That's a win-win if ever I saw one!

I believe you said all that needed to be said when you wrote "It's Star Trek!"
