June BOTM Results

[Jen]

It was a tough month of voting in that lots of books were nominated with a few points and we almost had to have a revote. But, one book finally pulled through with the 10 vote minimum required to prevent a revote. The winners are...

1) Fathers and Sons Popular Choice
2) The Wonderful O Randomizer choice

So which book will you be reading in June?

[Diane]

Sadly, neither. I have already read both.

[Gail]

I will read Fathers and Sons....

[Gail]

Also O is so short, I will probably fit that in

Hopefully one of the other yearly challenge books will be a good fit for you.

[Dree]

I have read Thurber’s book, so if I get to one it will be Fathers and Sons.

[Pip]

I haven't been able to locate The Story of O yet. Hope I can get a copy on interloan. I have the Turgenev and look forward to reading it as I liked Virgin Soil.

I already own Fathers and Sons, so I will read that. Not sure if I can get a copy of the other but I will try!

[George P.]

I've had Fathers & Sons in my to-read list, though a long way out, so I will read that. The Wonderful O seems hard to find- I'm not keen on paying $13 for it as an 80 page Kindle book- sorry Amazon.
I could get Thurber's The 13 Clocks from the library here, which is his other listed book. Perhaps I'll read that as well and talk about that one a bit in the discussion.

[Dianne]

I just finished Fathers and Sons so happy to chime in on the discussion for that.

[Daisey]

It looks like I have library access to Fathers and Sons, so I'll probably try for that one.

[Tracy]

I liked both of these very much.
But since I’ve read them both, I’ll focus on the challenges this month.

[Kristel]

I plan to read Fathers and Sons and I own The Wonderful O said can read it the third time, as it is quick.

[Paula]

I plan on rereading Fathers and sons. I'm not sure about The wonderful O. It sounds interesting.

[Jamie]

My sister was just talking about Turgenev, so I may try to read Fathers and Sons in June. I know I can find a copy in one of my siblings' collections. The Wonderful O is a possibility too, but I will definitely have to use ILL to get it, so it may take longer to acquire.

[Becky]

I would like to get to Fathers and Sons, but I JUST picked up Titus Groan from my library and really wanted to read that. As I won't be finishing it in time for April's tag, I'll just read it in May. It looks like a whopper so it'll probably take me a while...

[Chinook]

The library has Fathers and Sons on kindle and I requested they get the Thurber - though I doubt if they do, it would be soon enough. I may seek out a paper copy, since it’s short.

[Kristel]

Any volunteers to facilitate one of our BOTM this month?

[Chinook]

I could do Fathers and Sons.

[Kristel]

Thanks Chinook, you're down for Fathers and Sons then.

[Leni]

My library has just changed their eBook service and the new one has Fathers and Sons as audiobook. Yay! So I'll join that discussion.

[Chinook]

I out up a couple of pre-reading questions for Fathers and Soms and will hopefully start the book myself this weekend.

Got a paper copy of The Wonderful O as well, so I’m all set.
