February 2017 Book Club Nominations
![]() The nominations will run through midnight EST January 26 or until 10 books have made the list. The poll will then be posted and will remain open for five days. The book selection category for February is: Mystery. 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. Nominations are now closed.

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. Also, if you find one on the list that is no longer in operation, let me know and I'll remove it from the list.

I'm going to do something very different with this next nomination.
I'm nominating Moon Over Soho by Ben Aaronovitch. This is book 2, but last month we read book 1, so let's continue with the series as it fits in the mystery category. ![]() Quote:

Thanks, Paul! ![]() Quote:

And I'll third it, especially in light of the fact that I bought the book just last night. ![]() Last edited by WT Sharpe; 01-20-2017 at 01:35 PM. |

I've read the whole Rivers series. You folks keep this up and I'm good for the rest of the year.
BTW, it is a great and fun series. Kudos! I guess that means I fourth it! |
