Book+Nominations

This is the page where we will list the book nominations. If it is your turn to nominate books, please place the name and author + link to more info or review in this section. We can then review the list and vote. Feel free to nominate a book that has been nominated before.

Email me the list of books and a website with a review (or I can find one for you) and I will upload them on to this page for you. I will also create the survey once the nominations are up.
