Welcome to the New Leaf Book Club's May Book Nomination thread where we select the book that the New Leaf Book Club will read in May, 2020. The theme is Guilty Pleasures, Between the Covers.
Everyone is welcome to join the nomination process even if they'd rather lurk during the voting and discussion; if that is still a little too much commitment, please feel free to suggest titles without making a formal nomination. Also, don't sweat the links. It's helpful to check availability and prices before nominating in order to eliminate anything that's out of the question, but ultimately our global members with different gadgets and preferences will have to check for themselves.
The nominations will run through 9 AM PDT, April 7, 2020. Each nomination requires a second to make it to the poll, which will remain open for three days. The discussion of the selection will start on May 15, 2020.
Any questions? See the FAQ below, or just ask!

General Guidelines for the New Leaf Book Club
Official choices with two nominations:
Note1: Well, that was stupid. I forgot to create a blank second post to put the nominations in. So I'll have to put them here until they get a second, at which point I'll move them up to the Red list above. Sorry for the confusion.
Nominations awaiting a second:
* Mike and Psmith, written by P.G. Wodehouse (CRussel)
100 pp.
* Dragonwyck , written by Anya Seton (Catlady)
419 pp.
(Note2: We're continuing our experiment of only requiring a nomination and a second again this month. However, everyone still gets three tickets to use for nominations or seconds. We'll continue to try this for another month or two, and then we can see what folks think.)
