I agree! Some of these nominations make me want to vote for something other than my own nomination!!
Too bad I don't own any of the books. And actually I'd changed The Danish Girl to Brooklyn while shopping online. Feel worst now : (
Thx for your suggestion, Tracy. I live in Indonesia and I'm not sure the library here provide these kind of books. I know it sucks. And to buy it from Amazon, even a used one, would be pretty stiff so I only buy from Book Depository which is free of tax and delivery charge.

Do you have any family member or friend with an American library card by chance? You could check out books digitally using Overdrive Media App or Hoopla App. You can almost get anything that way and it would be free of charge. Very handy and no cost.

I hope the winner of the poll is The Danish Girl so I can join the discussion.
Wow, it's so nice living in the USA. Kinda jealous.
eKa - Does the free online library work for you? https://openlibrary.org I don't know what they have for books, but it may be useful at times.

I just tried to borrow an ebook there and downloaded it but it won't show on my Ub reader. It's just blank. I use a smartphone, btw. I'm still learning to use it but thanx a lot, Kristie. So happy about it. : )
eKa wrote: "I just made an account there and I'm so thrilled about it..."Ok, well, good, glad Kristie's suggestion was something that can work for you! Also, you probably know about the Gutenberg Project. It's mainly classics, but still it's a source of free books....
I'm crossing my fingers The Danish Girl gets a boost in votes. I tried reading Dorothy Must Die once, and couldn't make it past a few chapters, unfortunately.But when I saw the trailer for The Danish Girl, I wanted to see it SO BADLY. Unfortunately, limited release kept it from my local theatres. I haven't been able to see it yet, but I'll take the book as the next best (maybe better?) thing.
Oh, Tiffany... If you get the opportunity to see it, definitely do. It was fabulous. The acting was just wonderfully done.
Thx again Tracy. Both open library and gutenberg project mostly provide classic books. Open library has John Green but it's phisycal book. So i think i'm going to buy an ebook when Dorothy Must Die is chosen. I read the blurb and it's interesting.
