A language learners’ forum

Thanks to everyone's great recommendations, we had a total of 14 nominations for the Sep/Oct LLF Book Club Selection. As the poll software allows only 10 items, we will have two separate polls (part 1 and part 2) of 7 nominations each. You can vote twice in each poll for three days. We'll then combine the books with the most total votes into a separate poll to downselect the Sep/Oct LLF Book Club selections.

***If there is a nomination for which is either cost-prohibitive or not available in one of your target languages, please let us know. We really want to ensure everyone that wants to participate can participate. Also, please feel free to participate even if you are not able to read in your target language yet. You are welcome to participate by reading in your native language. Click on the links below for each book, and then click "all editions" to see if there is a translation in your target language.
