Poll

I actually want to read every one of these. I imagine I'll change my vote 3 or 4 times...

Crap I can pick just one. I did read 96 hours it was pretty good.

See, already changed it.

No brainer for me. Code Name Verity is amazing.

You haven't read the other 5! They might be equally amazing.

(I agree about Code Name Verity though :-)

I really liked 96 Hours. I'd like to see what others thought...kind of a tricky one.

Ooooo, this is a close race!

Ok there is too many good books for this selection. I can see the book budget expanding this month.

I will most likely read more than one of these.

And then there's Sex Month on the forum, too, Nancy Jean... Although, we can do plenty of online fics for that.

Code Name Verity had me on the first line of the blurb. I'm gonna check on the forum this month. Im more likely to read a book with sex in it than not.

We set up a thread under the reading section, Jenny.

It's never going to win the BotM poll, but read it anyway! It's not flawless but it's far and away the most original thing I've read this year. Just don't read ANY reviews of it beforehand, because it's almost impossible to review it without giving away spoilers.

I didn't vote for it but I probably will read it.

After the poll is over, we can set up a buddy read for it. Sounds like there's definitely interest. And maybe we can get Megan to live up to her Queen of the Buddy Reads title.

Perhaps she's busy with the Month of Sex already...

She's abandon us on the forum so, really, she has no excuses.

Yeah thats probably why she was to busy to hangout Saturday.lol

Hmmm. This one is hard! I just finished Code Name Verity (my heart hurts right now but was an amazing book Imo), I really liked 96 Hours, and the rest sound good too.

I really hate to read things that make me cry so I might have to wait a bit on Verity

It made Cari cry like a girl! (her description)

A Question of Ghosts is two points ahead but coming into the home stretch there's still all to play for... I'd like it to win, actually. I want to know what other people think of it.

I'm changing my vote. Code Name Verity sounds amazing.

Well I better wait because whenever I'm PMSing it doesn't take much for me before I cry like a little girl when I'm reading a book.

You will definitely cry like a little girl. I finished it hours ago and I'm still sad.

I didn't just cry, I sobbed, snotted and did that thing where you can't actually breathe for a while.

I wish I'd written it.

How could anyone turn that down? I mean, really.

Yeah, it was really attractive. This was at about 7 in the morning as well ("I'll just read this next chapter, then I'll get up...") Ferox nearly took the damn thing off me!

You can't interrupt that kind of misery. Kate's always trying to turn off that damn humane society commercial

I don't think I can handle that sort of sad right now.

Sounds like a depression-filled buddy read to me! Woohoo!

Well I changed my vote to that so if its picked I will be ready to read it in a week or two

Please don't make me cry.

Nikki: You can't interrupt that kind of misery. Kate's always trying to turn off that damn humane society commercial

You can't beat a good, snotty cry every now and again. Bizarrely, the book made me LOL more than it made me cry, which is quite incredible given its premise. I would love to do a buddy read for it. I don't care if it gets BoTM, I just want people to read it (and then chat about it later!)

It didn't make me cry, cos I'm a cold-hearted cow. Actually I found it uplifting. The triumph of the human spirit and all that... What someone will do for the woman they love, or just because it's the right thing to do, or just because they're too bloody stubborn not to.

Ugh. I changed my damn vote for the 5th or 6th time. Verity does sound really good. And I think it would make for great discussion.

That's what I was thinking.

I will not fall prey to peer pressure.

This is all very entertaining. It's like watching the Eurovision Song Contest ;-)

Stay strong!!! I don't think my change can qualify for peer pressure since I have voted for all but one of the books suggested at one time or another since the poll opened. The only one I haven't voted for yet is the one in first place. I'm an underdog sort of woman.

Such a tough choice all but one are on my to read or have already read list.

Oh, Cari, what's that? Is it something we can vote on in a poll on the forum?

Ooh Verity is catching up :)

Oh, Cari, what's that? Is it something we can vote on in a poll on the forum?

Yes! When it comes around next (it's not long since been held). It's a terrible cheese-fest of a competition involving the Euro nations (and some not-so Euro nations) in an all-singing, all dancing, pyrotechnic, contest of sheer cringe. One of Ferox's friends almost ended up in a coma after drinking a shot from every country entering last year. It would make for the most fabulous drinking game.

PS - what happens if this vote is a tie? Sudden death? Some kind of duel?

Yeah what happens if there is a tie?

Pie throwing at 10 paces.

We had a tie once before (Salbine Sisters and Sword of the Guardian) and we listed both books as Books of the Month.

What a waste of pies! Unless we get to eat them as well as chuck them.

You can eat whatever hits you. I think that's only fair.

Maybe it should be pie throwing at 5 paces. Just far enough not to be hurt by the pan.

If you make a good enough crust it can always be removed from pan before the throwing.

Damn, I really want some pie.
