Below are the books that have been nominated for the 2014-2015 One Book, One Campus selection. A word about the review sources I used, I have posted book reviews from four major sources: Choice Reviews, Booklist, Publishers Weekly and Kirkus Reviews (or other credible review sources). I have not used reader reviews such as Goodreads or Amazon because they are very subjective, if a book below does not have a review linked, it is because a review does not exist from the sources I have used. Because many of the reviews were columns next to other reviews and hard to find or read, I have isolated the reviews and put them in PDF format.
