There is another option. Just do all the nominating/voting in January and there you go for the year. |

We need a third for The Devil in the White City so we can get a move on towards the voting phase. Also, Erik Larson is a really good author.

Plugging my other two suggestions while about it. Each needs only one more vote. Last edited by Hamlet53; 10-25-2016 at 09:31 AM. |

There's a day-and-a-half to go and there are several worthy choices languishing with two nominations. Perhaps those with a nomination in hand could look them over? It's always good to have a well-populated slate.

I'd like to see thirds for Jacksonland, Pera Palace and Soul of a People, all of which look like good choices to me. Pera Palace might have more international appeal, but I'd read any. |

I will third:
William the Conqueror I wish a couple more were available but unless I can find a copy of the Frederick Douglass speeches at Gutenberg it doesn't look like it. |

Please, folks, can we get a third for Soul of a People: The WPA Writers' Project Uncovers Depression America by David A. Taylor. This is a book I have heard nothing but good things about, it covers a part of history that is receding into the background, and yet the amazing things accomplished by the WPA have affected every one of us who has lived in the US, and really beyond that. It's short, it's available on Overdrive, and yes, it's a bit pricey on Amazon. But I'd really like to get this into the voting phase, at least.
Thanks! |
