Poll

Note that Homegoing was a book of the month in 2017. The book has still been added into the poll since some may not have participated and we have a number of new members.

I already read Homegoing, George and The Hate U Give (all highly recommended) so I voted for American Street that I found the most interesting in the remaining choices. I'm curious to see which book will win!

I haven't read any of them - have 3 on my TBR - and may have to add the other 3. I win any way it works out!

I voted for The Hate U Give, but a close second was American Street. My challenge this year is focused on reading books I already own so those are the two that would work.

The new New York Times/ PBS (Public Broadcasting System) just chose Sing, Unburied, Sing by Jesmyn Ward as the 1st book for their book club.Too bad we couldn’t have coordinated with them. Lol.
For info on the book club -called NOW READ THIS - and lots of background articles about the book you can check the Facebook page of Now Read This. It looks like it could be very interesting.

American Street is awesome. I highly recommend it, even if it doesn't win.

The winner is... The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas! Discussion will start on February 1st.

It just came available at the library for me, so this is perfect!

I'm jealous! I haven't been able to get it yet. I may end up having to pay for it (the horror!).

I was #15 or something when I put the hold at the library, but it's a very quick read so I got it in less than 3 weeks!

Awesome! I've got it on my kindle ready to go...

I’m 12th in line at my library. They have four copies though so I’m hoping I won’t have to wait too long. I might buy a copy if it seems like the list is moving very slowly.
