Book Club October 2013 Book Club Nominations
MobileRead Book Club
October 2013 Nominations Help us select the book that the MobileRead Book Club will read for October, 2013. The nominations will run through midnight EST September 30 or until 10 books have made the list. The poll will then be posted and will remain open for five days. Book selection category for October is: The Patricia Clark Memorial Library This month's selection will be a public domain selection from our own MobileRead Library, AKA The Patricia Clark Memorial Library. For newer members who never had the joy of knowing her, Patricia Clark was one of the most helpful and beloved member/moderators ever to grace MobileRead, and many of the books in our Library were carefully crafted, proofread, and uploaded by her. In order for a book to be included in the poll it needs THREE NOMINATIONS (original nomination, a second and a third). How Does This Work? The Mobile Read Book Club (MRBC) is an informal club that requires nothing of you. Each month a book is selected by polling. On the last week of that month a discussion thread is started for the book. If you want to participate feel free. There is no need to "join" or sign up. All are welcome. How Does a Book Get Selected? Each book that is nominated will be listed in a poll at the end of the nomination period. The book that polls the most votes will be the official selection. How Many Nominations Can I Make? Each participant has 3 nominations. You can nominate a new book for consideration or nominate (second, third) one that has already been nominated by another person. How Do I Nominate a Book? Please just post a message with your nomination. If you are the FIRST to nominate a book, please try to provide an abstract to the book so others may consider their level of interest. How Do I Know What Has Been Nominated? Just follow the thread. This message will be updated with the status of the nominations as often as I can. If one is missed, please just post a message with a multi-quote of the 3 nominations and it will be added to the list ASAP. When is the Poll? The poll thread will open at the end of the nomination period, or once there have been 10 books with 3 nominations each. At that time a link to the initial poll thread will be posted here and this thread will be closed. The floor is open to nominations. Please comment if you discover a nomination is not available as an ebook in your area. Official choices with three nominations each: (1) Solomon Kane by Robert E. Howard Patricia Clark Memorial Library: ePub Spoiler:
(2) Dr. Izard by Anna Katharine Green Patricia Clark Memorial Library: Kindle Spoiler:

Wondering if a particular book is available in your country? The following spoiler contains a list of bookstores outside the United States you can search. If you don't see a bookstore on this list for your country, find one that is, send me the link via PM, and I'll add it to the list. In addition, if members let me know that an ebook is unavailable in a particular geographic location, I'll note it in this post, right beside the Inkmesh search for that particular book.

Tom, did John F nominate Solomon Kane? Where is his post for this nomination? If he did nominate it, I'll give it a second. Robert E. Howard is always good!

I nominate The nine taylors, by Dorothy Sayers. For me, she is one of the best English mystery writers.

Seriously, I screwed up and forgot to make the second post (the one that contains the nominations), so I deleted John's post and asked him to repost, which he was kind enough to do. And now that Solomon Kane's had a second, a third, and finally a nomination; on with the show! |
