Children of Time is available from Kindle, pretty much everywhere, but not available from either of my libraries in any format. Apparently I wasn't clear in that post. Sorry!

It seems worth reminding people that even though we only need a nomination and a second, we each have three tickets to spend in this process. So far I'm the only that that's spent them all. Just sayin'.

I’ll second

The Perfect Horse: The Daring U.S. Mission to Rescue the Priceless Stallions Kidnapped by the Nazis by Elizabeth Letts

I have a second nomination (elephants again!): The Elephant Whisperer: My Life with the Herd in the African Wild by Lawrence Anthony with Graham Spence (2009, 381 pp.).

Quote:

When South African conservationist Lawrence Anthony was asked to accept a herd of "rogue" wild elephants on his Thula Thula game reserve in Zululand, his common sense told him to refuse. But he was the herd's last chance of survival: they would be killed if he wouldn't take them.

In order to save their lives, Anthony took them in. In the years that followed he became a part of their family. And as he battled to create a bond with the elephants, he came to realize that they had a great deal to teach him about life, loyalty, and freedom.

The Elephant Whisperer is a heartwarming, exciting, funny, and sometimes sad account of Anthony's experiences with these huge yet sympathetic creatures. Set against the background of life on an African game reserve, with unforgettable characters and exotic wildlife, it is a delightful book that will appeal to animal lovers and adventurous souls everywhere.

E-book and audiobook. Available in all relevant countries. Can be borrowed through OverDrive and Scribd.

Amazon U.S., $9.99

Ah, that's what I've been holding on to my last ticket for. Thanks, Catlady. I'll second The Elephant Whisperer. Even though the wait at the library might be a bit problematic, the audiobook version should be available in time, and it's read by Simon Vance, so will definitely be good.

CRussel · 03-05-2020, 12:18 PM

OK, folks. We have one book still needing a second and I would like to see it find its way to the voting. And, of course, there's still time to nominate additional books. Remember, we're trying out a slightly modified system this month, with only a nomination and a second required. But everyone still gets three tickets to spend. So don't be shy!

Bookworm_Girl · 03-05-2020, 12:36 PM

I will second Children of Time.

Oh, I didn't notice that it was Simon Vance--that's a bonus!

For those interested, regardless of the voting outcome, Children of Time is an Amazon deal of the day for 2.99, today.

CRussel · 03-06-2020, 11:50 AM

Thanks, drofgnal. A good price, certainly.
