Polls

February 2016The book for February will be from our 2015 Holiday Book Swap! There will be more books than the typical poll for this one.

Due to the abnormally long length of time between meetings... and since there is no discussion on which books will be added for this poll, it will run immediately. I will announce the winner on Sunday 1/10/15 after the poll ends.

This poll will be open for voting from Monday 12/21/15 thru Saturday 1/9/15.

ReadMe: Remember.... Please try to vote for a book that you didn't gift. It's not a rule, it's just a suggestion so that everyone isn't voting for a book they have already read - and thus causing a 7 way tie.
