Poll

We are resuming the perk of MotM having their seconds/nominations tripled, so congratulations, Emily--your seconds were tripled.😊

Five of these books had the same number of seconds and the sixth had one more than the others. Lots of books to choose from this month. Happy choosing!

Whoo

My top three are
The queens rising
Cloak of the light
The prince warriors

And maybe out of the silent planet

That was so hard to choose....

Yeah, it's always hard, but with 6 books to choose from, it's even harder! It's like a Jersey diner menu that's 6 pages long!😄

😂😂

Have you ever been to Cheesecake Factory? Ohmygrapes their menus are sooo long. Like I always get so overwhelmed when choosing

I need The Queen's Rising to win. I just finished Ruthless Vows, and I'm not expecting it to be as good, but I need to read more Rebecca Ross.

I did a long time ago, but I don't remember the menu being long. Growing up in Jersey, I went to lots of diners over the years, so I probably didn't think anything of it.🤭

Ahhh the suspense is killing me

As a mod, you have a right to know. Or do you enjoy the suspense??😉

I enjoy it but hate it hahah
And it’s only fair I find out the same time as everyone else :)

Poll closes tonight at midnight USA Eastern time! Make sure you get your votes in!

Sorry, I misspoke! Poll closes *tomorrow* at midnight, not tonight. (So midnight, May 4th)

Ahh

Man I really hope one of three books wins. Because I have the books. So I wouldn’t have to try to get a hold of others. Lol. There’s really only one book (maybe two) that I’m hoping doesn’t win since I won’t be able to join 😂🫣

But there’s one book i REALLLLLLLY want to win. And I’m doubtful it will.

Queen's Rising, Queen's Rising, Queen's Rising.

Noooooo that’s the one book I won’t be able to join on 😭😂 I possibly can’t join on Goose Girl either. Depends on if I can stomach the audiobook.

I want Cloak of Light to win so bad!! Cloak of Light, or The Prince Warriors.

Yes sometimes audiobooks are alright (although never the same as reading it yourself), and sometimes they're just plain annoying lol.

I actually haven't checked if Queen's Rising is available to me. Oops... I should think it would be. But it's possible that everyone else in the area is trying to read Rebecca Ross' backlist too, I suppose. ;)

Well queens rising is one I’m not sure if mom would want me reading yet. That’s why I’m not joining on that one. Actually maybe I should hope it gets picked so I don’t have any more books to read right now 😉

Goose Girl I can get the audiobook and that one looks like one I’d be allowed to read. Out of the other 4 I have two, mom has one, the library has the other. The one we don’t have is the Green Ember but my mom has been telling me I should read that one for a while so I bet she’d take me to the library to get it. Lol.

At 9:00 tonight we can see what won 🙃

Ooh, I'll l have to check then. Wait, that's midnight... Well, tbh, I'm always awake then anyway.

I'm honestly not sure if I'll join if certain books win. Yeah, I get thinking it might be best if a book you don't want wins. I have way too many books to read lol.

Oh wait yeah it is midnight anyways. I didn’t see that it was pacific time 😂 oh well, I’ll just have to wait till tomorrow then since I AM NOT staying up that late 😂😂

Well see my problem is I’m in 3 buddy reads and two BOTM already. So I’d have 6 books I’m committed to if one I want wins 😂😂

It's midnight at Eastern Time right? I think that's what Sharon said. Anyway, I prob will wait, because while I will be awake, I'm not USUSALLY on here then lol.

Yeah I’m not actually Eastern time tho. I’m Central. So I MIGHT be awake at 11. I probably won’t be on here tho 😂

OMG THE QUEENS RISING WON

🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

Cloak of light lost by 2 votes. 2 VOTES!! HOW??? WHY couldn't three more people have voted for it??? 🙁

What did Emily vote for? lol. If she voted for Cloak of Light were the extra votes for her being MotM figured in? 😉😏 lol

Well I won't be participating in this months botm. Which is actually a relief if I'm honest 😂 I way overcommitted on books to read right now. I actually could drop one of them if I wanted (a botm I'm doing) but I don't want to. lol

Hooray! Now I just hope I'll be able to get my hands on a copy. :)

Emily’s perk as MotM only gave her extra sway in what made it into the poll. Her nominations/seconds got tripled, NOT her vote in the poll.😊

Also, I checked into Queen’s Rising as much as I could, and I believe it is clean. If it isn’t, I am truly sorry—I try to make sure a book is clean before it makes it into the poll, but I haven’t actually read it. If you know of any content warnings, please post them here, so people know before reading.
