the poll: What books would you like to read and discuss in the fall and winter? Some really interesting options this time! PLEASE ONLY VOTE IF YOU WILL RETURN TO DISCUSS (Seriously, think about this - we get too many people who vote but don't discuss, which is unfair to those who participate.) Thanks, and happy voting! > Likes and Comments

Tucker vs. the Apocalypse- the write up for this book sounds so much like Hollow Kingdom! I haven't read the former, but strongly recommend the latter which was a 5 star read for me.
I have never participated in a book club group read with this group. I'm not sure of how the timetable works? In most group reads I've done there is usually a "book of the month" kind of thing. The above write up says these are books we would read and discuss this "fall and winter". That would encompass roughly the next 5 months. Is there an ongoing open thread for discussion for the whole 5 months or is this going to be a more brief group read but the exact time hasn't been decided on yet?
We used to do one a month, but sometimes it takes us a little while to accumulate nominations. Now we do a poll and take all the winners/ones that clearly have interest and assign them to months. That gives everyone lots of time to plan and get the books. (I pick the order, sometimes affected by how long wait is at library.)
So this current poll will be for probably be for November, December, and January or similar. Maybe even February based on current results.
Does that answer your questions?
I would enjoy reading The Book Censor's Library and discussing with the group. I'm not sure how this all works.

I think you just missed the voting window Paul - usually you can click on a title to vote for the book you want to discuss. Fortunately that book is one of the top voted so will be included. I'll post here shortly with some info on future discussions.
Ok all set!
