    Greetings CROAH member!


    We are now accepting nominations for the next group read to cover the fourth US President, James Madison.

    Please send your suggestions via one of 2 ways:

    a) a private note to either Regina or Dog Lover (this method reveals your email address to us), or

    b) use the "Questions About this Group" text box found on the member's tab. This sends an email to both administrators and masks your email address.

    Please do NOT post your nomination to the site's discussion tab.

    Please include the title, author, and brief description of the book. It would also be nice if you included the Shelfari book page URL.

    Nominations will be accepted through the 18th. Nominations will be posted and voting will take place through the 25th. We will post the selected book on the 26th.

    Because we are approaching the Holidays a revised schedule will be followed for the remainder of 2009 and beginning of 2010. We will vote for the Madison read in October, post discussion questions in November, skip December, vote on Monroe reads in January, and post discussion questions in February.

    A suggestion has been made to continue the extended reading schedule past the Holidays and provide 2 months between book selections. We would be interested in hearing anyone's thoughts on this. Would it help you? Would you lose momentum? Are you too busy to participate on the current schedule.

    Please post your comments on this proposed scheduling change to the nomination thread found at http://www.shelfari.com/groups/34700/discussions/146618/James-Madison-Nominations-are-Open

    The four books we've chosen since the group started have been fabulous. We look forward to seeing the nominations for the fifth.

    Thanks,

    Regina & DL

    So, I'm going to be reading Seventh Son, by Card this month. I see you rated it pretty highly. What did you think of it overall?

    This is a "ballot" therefore...

    Please vote only once.

    Please indicate only a vote "for" - do not vote against a title.

    Please do not include any sales talk or justification for your vote - just "yae" or "for".

    The last 3 reads have been just fabulous. With this range of nominations, it looks as though we'll have another winner for our 4th group read!

    Lookin' forward to your votes,

    DL

    I was surprised I read the book so quickly, thought it might take me a whle as it was history... got lucky I guess...
    I haven't got any books tagged Japan at my house, but wouldn't mind buying one when I go shopping tomorrow if you want France... I don't mind either really, u?

    James says

    I don't mind reading a book tagged "China" but it may take me a lot longer, because the only book I have is "The Rape of Nanking" which is a history book and sometimes they can drag... but it may still be a quick read, about 220 pages, I'm willing to take risk (heard it was quick for a history book) what do ya think?

    I see you finished The Camel Club. I love Baldacci. I typically buy his books the day they are released. IMHO they are good quick reads. However, I did not buy First Family. I'm not much of a series reader and the last couple of years he has been working on two series, one of which is The Camel Club series. If you like his books may I suggest Absolute Power, The Whole Truth, and The Winner. Absolute Power is my favorite.

    You should see the Halloween costume she wore one year. She looks like a princess riding a unicorn. It is one of my favorite pictures of her as a child.

    "When you come to the edge of all the light you know, and are about to step off into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing one of two things will happen:
    There will be something solid to stand on,
    or you will be taught how to fly."

    Hey Cora,

    Boy does The Last Unicorn bring back memories! I read it to my oldest daughter when she was younger because she was obsessed with unicorns. Then it came on TV and we taped it. Then, we had to watch it over and over and over. Boy do I miss those days.
