Drumroll Please...

Hi, Bookies: This month's vote was a close one! Just a handful of voters made the difference between Aimee Bender's The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake and Sarah Dunn's The Big Love.

And the winner is...The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake. Check back here on Thursday when Jennifer Mirsky, former managing editor of RealSimple.com and soon-to-be author of our pets blog, will introduce herself and set up the reading plan. So, get yourself to your library or bookstore and snatch up a copy.

Until...
