Please nominate books for our next two group reads in February and March. You can nominate up to two books, and second as many nominated books as you like. The nominations will close in around a week.

I'm only new here so aren't really up on what everyone else has read!

I am hoping we can nominate from any of the lists, not just the current 2018 one?
As I would like to nominate The Colour by Rose Tremain and Animal's People by Indra Sinha.

Look forward to seeing what else is nominated.

I will nominate two that have been on my shelf for a while: THe Double by Jose Saramago and The Vice-Consul by Marguerite Duras.

I will second Animal's People, The Emigrants, and Our Ancestors.

I will close the poll with two books tied in first place - Rose Tremain's The Colour and Jose Saramago's The Double. These will be our group reads for February and March 2019 respectively and I'll set up threads at the start of each month.
