I cannot help to have a big smile ☺ such enthusiasm makes me full of happiness! Though the choice is hard... Everything is amazingly interesting!I'm going to vote, I might need several minutes though. Definitely it's in good hands 😊
Edit: À voté 😃 I'd love to read and discuss more about eco feminism but disability is often not enough approached so my vote goes to disability.
Done! Domestic Violence/psychopath violence is my theme
Voted! I‘m so excited to see where this goes :))
Voted. Thank you for keeping this going!
Voted, even though I like all these themes :D
Dear The OSS Team!I feel very, very, very grateful that there is still The OSS Team and that The OSS Team is continuing Emma Watson's mission for this book group and that the new moderator is Pam! Emma and The OSS Team thank you so, so, so much for your outstanding work! Thank you very much for giving us such outstanding choices in this poll! I voted for eco-feminism! I suggest that each of the 10 topics is very worthy to be a topic for the books chosen for this book group!
Love,

Just a suggestion for future reads… ableism/disability :)
Done! Thank you Pam!! I was so worried that OSS would die a slow death and was quite heartbroken! Thank you for taking this on and continuing such a wonderful community!Laura- USA
Voted ! So many themes to choose from :D
So pleased to hear that OSS is continuing and really difficult to choose a topic - I'm not going to be disappointed whatever wins (although I have voted)! Thanks to everyone involved in keeping this amazing group going.

Done!
Some of the choices like "eco feminism" and "disability" show up twice. I voted for disability justice and I hope the people who voted for the other disability choice will be included alongside my choice in the end.
Done, it's been tough to choose just one topic, but very pleased to see the development of this group!Thanks everyone!
Done. Thank you for continuing this group.
One of my goals for this year was to be a more active member in the group so when Emma announced she was stepping back I thought I’d missed my chance. I’m so glad that the good work is continuing and I’m super excited for the next read!
I voted a day or so ago but did not leave a comment, I figured I would chime in here too. I actually wanted to pick a few! Although, I am new so I'm mostly curious about all the topics.
Wow! It's so great to see so many people contributing.O.S.S. rides again!

Evening Brittany,
Right! With March coming to a close we will start
- The books for April/May. We are reading Overdressed as well as Sex and World Peace.
- And we're also going to have our next poll to pick the July/August book. You'll see a note coming out this upcoming week.
Watch your inbox for further details!
Did Emma recommend both books for April and May or just Sex and World Peace?
Laura wrote: "Did Emma recommend both books for April and May or just Sex and World Peace?"Hello Laura, Pam suggested the April/May books for the poll. Then members voted and chose Overdressed.
It was mentioned in an annoucement, the message was sent by message in people's message box. Also, Emma annouced she was not managing OSS, not making any book suggestions like she used to. She decided to sometimes share a book in her social media while writing #oursharedshelf. Just like every other member.
The OSS Moderator Team heard you loud and clear that you are VERY interested in continuing the mission of this book group as platform to create conversations around intersectionality, feminism, and equal rights.
So we want to know what topics do you want to explore next? Would you like to explore a topic:
- that is near and dear to your heart
- that is completely new to you?
- that is something you heard of but never had the time to look into?
Let us know in our new poll! https://www.goodreads.com/poll/list/1...
We will take the top two results to be the focus of our books for Feb. & March as well as April & May. Once we the topics are chosen, we will create another poll to pick the books.
So please vote! We are eager to hear about the topics that interest you. Member Chosen, Member Approved. This is Our Shared Shelf.
with love,
- The OSS Mod Team
