HELLO!!! We have our winners for May!!!

[Yasmine]

Category 1: Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert =)

[F.D.]

To brown-nose, one must have an agenda to accomplish something that the person being "Nosed" can do for the "Noser." The only thing Lori does for me is keep me in line.

Seriously... just delete your post while you still have a chance!

[Jackie]

Hehe...I was just teasing.

LOL, Kathryn!

I know. That's one of the things I like about the group, most everyone has a good sense of humor.

[Sara ♥]

I've voted for my adult pick... I'm going to wait a little longer before I cast my vote for the YA pick. When do the polls close?

EDIT: *cough* Oh, look! If I go back and read the first post, I can get all the answers.... April 20th...

Eva, I live in Kentucky, and the book fest is the Southern Kentucky Book Fest in Bowling Green, KY. I will ask Ms. Hopkins about the third Kristina book. If you don't mind, I'm going to add you as a friend, and if you'd send me a reminder to get back to you about this, I will remember to.

[Eva-Marie]

I don't mind at all- I actually just accepted it! :)
I think that message I have up is a bit of a deterrant with people go to add me but it's meant for spammers and friend collecters only so I'm glad you didn't pay any attention to that! LOL
Oh boy- I feel like taking an inpromptu trip to Kentucky now!
Gosh- I get all the authors here that I don't read. :( The only authors that have come here that I read (that I know of) are Laurie Halse Anderson (who I hadn't read at the time but have since and am glad I met her) and Dwayne S. Joseph (an urban fiction author and I ended up missing him anyway!).
Hopefully, when I if I do end up moving to Texas, being in a bigger state will help with this! :O

[Lori, Super Mod]

FD.. you're a funny man. ( I mean funny-ha-ha, not funny-strange, incase you are worried!)

Yasmine - Zoinks!

I should make a Timeout folder... for people who fail to follow the rules on the noms and posting. Kinda like a DunceCap kinda time out zone.....

ha ha ha

[Allison]

LOL Lori!!

[Fiona (Titch)]

I voted on both Categories Lori xx

[Lydia]

I voted for Fahrenheit 451. I have never read that before. But I've heard good things about it.

[Elizabeth (Alaska)]

I noticed one YA clearly in the lead, but the vote for the regular read is all over the place. Interesting.

[Tammy AZ]

Cat 1 - Christine Falls, Benjamin Black

[Jamie]

Tammy - I guess you didn't notice that we are now voting for our May selection. You need to go to the poll section if you'd like to vote.

[Claire]

Category 1- Dewey The Library Cat

[Stephanie]

Hi Claire,
Votes have to be cast in the polls section in order to be counted. :) Click on the "polls" link on the upper right hand corner of this page.

[Lori, Super Mod]

I wouldnt bother...
no one is paying attention :P

[Becky]

Maybe you should change the title of the thread to: NOMINATIONS CLOSED - GO VOTE NOW.

[Lori, Super Mod]

But but but... It doesnt say nominate anywhere in it! It only says VOTE.....

[Kandice]

You would also have to mention POLL or they still wouldn't get it...

[Becky]

True. How about: NOMINATIONS? WHAT NOMINATIONS, WE'RE VOTING IN THE *POLL* NOW.

[Kandice]

That may work, but I would not hold my breath. Lori shouldn't either, but she already knows... *sighs*

[Lori, Super Mod]

hee hee...
you guys make me laugh.
really.
Ahhhhhhhhhhh........

[[deleted user]]

Butt kicking is going on in the YA. 35 votes for ICTC!

[Becky]

Yeah, I changed my vote to ICTC from Blue is for Nightmares. Cause, Kandice is sending it to me, I think. (Was that what you and Allison decided on K?)

[Sara ♥]

I voted for an underdog, since I'm already reading ICTC right now. I'm only on like... chapter 5, but still. I'd rather pick one I haven't read (or won't have read by May 1).

[Jackie]

Yeah Becky, Kandice is sending to you and Allison is sending me her copy. Either way we both win and score a free copy :-)

[Becky]

Cool. I hope it's as good as Fi says!

[Jackie]

It better be after all that shameless plugging she's done. LOL.

[Becky]

Jackie wrote: "It better be after all that shameless plugging she's done. LOL. "

Yup! :D

[Becky]

Why are you hiding in a crack under that rock? One would think that you feel guilty for providing bad recommendations, which we hope isn't the case! ;)

[Kandice]

She's ashamed of her book spamming. She's such a "nice" English girl!!!

[Jeane]

hahaha, do you think THAT could be the case with Fiona?????

[April]

I LOVED I Capture The Castle, so I doubt it's because she's given bad recs, actually she has great taste in books. I think maybe she's feeling idk, sheepish because it's going to win! :-P

[Becky]

Fiona wrote: "No, because people are probably going to HATE it now and I was just lucky with you guys... and uhm well you'll all hate me for recing a duffer."

Doubtful. We could never hate you!

[April]

Becky wrote: "Fiona wrote: "No, because people are probably going to HATE it now and I was just lucky with you guys... and uhm well you'll all hate me for recing a duffer."

Doubtful. We could never hate you!"

Agreed!

[Becky]

I'll tell you soon enough though... Kandice sent it to me already, so I'll read it and then all will be well and you can come out of the crack under that rock. Birds are not meant to live in cracks under rocks. They are meant to be free!

[Mosca]

April, I agree with you. Fiona has great taste in books.

I Capture the Castle is an excellent book and a pleasure to read. I've also read two other books on Fiona's recommendation--Atonement by Ian McEwan and The Piano Tuner A Novel by Daniel Mason. And I'm very greatful for those recommendations.

It looks like ICTC is going to trounce my hopeful--The Wind in the Willows--which I haven't already read.

:( pout :(

But if anybody chooses to read ICTC, they're in for a treat.

[Marion]

cat #1 Angels and Demons by Dan Brown

[Becky]

Hehe... Marion, the nominating is done. You can vote on the poll though.

[Lori, Super Mod]

Dum....Dumdum... dum

[Lori, Super Mod]

I sure hope so.
Or I will go into the bathroom and blow my brains out... (JK!)

[Lori, Super Mod]

ha ha ha...
I wasnt even thinking that. I was just thinking that I would need the mirror to make sure Ive got it lined up right --- haaa haaa haaa

[Becky]

=\
I do like Mays, but we just had one last year. I'll vote for having one again this year anyway. I'm greedy. ;)

[Lori, Super Mod]

oohhhh. tee hee.... what a sense of humor you have Becky!

[Becky]

Well... I do try. ;)

[Elizabeth (Alaska)]

Lori wrote: "I sure hope so.

I hope you won't do that (I especially hope not because you can count on someone not getting it).

[Lori, Super Mod]

wow. so im checking out the polls and i dont think we have a winning book with SO MANY votes before! The YA favorite is crushing the competition.....

overall, i think this month has pulled the most votes of any other group read poll in the past.... Thank you everyone for your participation!!!!

We still a little more time, but I can safely assume who the winning books are...

[Marion]

Wow, how incredibly rude. It was an innocent mistake.
