Thanks!

[Quentin]

No problem! That's one that I've always wanted to read and never got around to it.

[K.C., Eager Reader]

Wow, this is also going to be close I believe, what a great competition.

[Quentin]

Maybe these three should be the picks for the next three months, and just use the poll to determine reading order? Just a thought?

[K.C., Eager Reader]

So I will officially close the tie-breaker round at 9am PST tomorrow (the time I get to my computer in the morning), this should also give any night owls a chance to chime in.

Good thought Quentin and I was thinking the same thing yesterday, but for me I know my tastes change from month to month so I might actually nominate/vote another book next month (this is also why I have 5 books half read next to my bed).

Ah, well that's true too, plus if we do nominations every month they may come up again anyway.

[K.C., Eager Reader]

BTW, if you are a tad bit shy, go ahead and send me your list directly (had a couple of folks do it that way). I am honest and will record all scoring accurately.

My guess is some will definitely be up next month. Just hit me that also new members would then be able to vote to. Good suggestion though as I was thinking the same thing.

Something Wicked - Haven't read it and want to
Winter People - Haven't read it
Pet Sematary - read it

[K.C., Eager Reader]

Ok folks just got in. Give me about 15 minutes to get the results.

Thanks.

[K.C., Eager Reader]

Ok folks you have spoken The Winter People it is for February 2015.

Here are the tie-breaking results (had a couple sent to me directly – remember a 3,2,1 scoring system):
The Winter People – 24
Something Wicked This Way Comes – 20
Pet Sematary – 16

Thanks all, I can’t wait to read this one it sounds interesting.

Nice job Stephanie on the nomination also.

Let’s finish the January read and hit this one running.

[Stephanie]

Well hopefully we all like it, otherwise please don't throw tomatoes at me!

[K.C., Eager Reader]

Haha, don't worry, I am always up for a new author. It breaks me out of the comfort zone I get into sometimes.

[Mike]

It looks like this is the last day for the giveaway of Winter People. Nice.

[Stephanie]

I've never won any of those giveaways! Have you?

That's exciting!

[Mike]

I won one. It was more of a pamphlet than a book, but it was free and a decent story.

[Paul]

I never entered but did like around 10 giveaways so far for my stuff. I need to start entering. I don't have the best luck though. I think Fallen Beloved is supposed to start 1/19 if they approve it on time.
