This was an interesting topic, sun surfer. I had fun searching for books to nominate!

I'm glad you liked it. The nominations are intriguing so I'm happy but it's making deciding what to vote for as hard as ever!

About all I know of the Japanese language is 'arigato'. For some years we had a member who was fond of nominating Japanese literature; it's a pity your paths didn't cross in the club!

I will start with these votes. The book cover for The Traveling Cat Chronicles is so pretty!

The Travelling Cat Chronicles - 2
And the Mountains Echoed - 1
Oscar and Lucinda - 1
The Heart's Invisible Furies - 1

Basically 3 books took my fancy equally, and another looking good too, so here's all my 7 votes.

The Travelling Cat Chronicles - 2
The Heart's Invisible Furies - 2
Oscar & Lucinda - 2
And the Mountains Echoed - 1

Here’s my votes:

-2 to Death of the Heart
-1 to Oscar & Lucinda
-1 to The Travelling Cat Chronicles
-1 to Letter to My Daughter
-1 to The Heart’s Invisible Furies
-1 to Endless Love

I think there’s a little over seven hours left to vote!

Voting is complete and the winner is The Travelling Cat Chronicles! The discussion thread will be up soon.

Also, there's still a little time left to post any ideas for January's topic in the general discussion thread before we put one forward.

The discussion thread is up!

I'm looking forward to it; I haven't had a cat since I was a child but I'm an animal lover. I noticed as I was gathering book covers that it seems there's a Japanese film adaptation of the book.

This month had a really strong slate of options in my opinion; thanks Bookworm_Girl and AnotherCat for the nominations!

I really liked the selections this month too and have added several to my wishlist for the future.
