Nominations: May/June/July 2017

Hey guys, summer is almost here already! Let's nominate some authors for summer reading. :)

Just a brief reminder on the nomination rules:

Any author chosen in the last 2 years (see the group wiki for the list) is not eligible again. Previously nominated authors who didn't win can be nominated again.

You have up to 4 nominations of your own as well as 4 chances to second other's nominations. Any author who is seconded gets into the final vote.

Deadline: Let's all get our nominations in by April 19 so we can start voting and have plenty of time to get our reading selections in order.

Hey guys, don't forget to nominate!! And second!!

For my part, I'm nominating:

L.M. Montgomery
Laura Esquivel
Sarah Vowel
and
Leonard Cohen

Nominate some authors of your own choosing or else you're stuck with mine! :P

I nominate:

Jean Rhys
Alice Thomas Ellis
Emma Donoghue
Paul Auster

I'll second Emma Donoghue

Extending the deadline for nominations to April 23 (this Sunday) so we can get some more in. Don't forget to nominate and second authors.

I nominate:
John Berendt,
Wendell Berry,
Gail Tsukiyama and
Jhumpa Lahiri.

And I second:
L.M. Montgomery,
Jean Rhys,

I feel like it's been pulling teeth just to get nominations and not anticipating voting to be any better, I'm just gonna go ahead and say the three that were seconded will be our next three months of authors.

May -- L.M. Montgomery
June -- Jean Rhys
July -- Emma Donoghue

Thank you for your efforts, sweetie.
I am looking forward to reading all three authors. :-)
