[Sarah]

Scorpio: The Cartographers by Peng Shepherd

[Sarah]

Scorpio: The Map of Salt and Stars by Zeyn Joukhadar

[Allison, Fairy Mod-mother]

sorry to break it to you, but not quite!

[Meredith]

Scorpio: The route of ice and salt?
(Sorry I’m on the phone app)

[Kaa]

The genre doesn't seem right, but the title too good a fit not to try The Breaking of Northwall for Scorpio

[Allison, Fairy Mod-mother]

congratulations!!!!

the constellations are now complete

[Allison, Fairy Mod-mother]

the polls will be updated so that you can see all the books, but we're about to hide results, so take a gander now!

[Anna]

They're hidden!

[Sarah]

Yay!

[SFFBC, Ancillary Mod]

All books on the polls have now been revealed and the results have been hidden for the rest of voting! You can still change your vote as many times as you want by selecting "change your vote" in the bottom left corner of the poll.

Good luck!

[Sarah]

Kaa for the win!!

[Anna]

Poll update! In both polls, there's a fairly clear top three that are all still within reach of each other. Any of the top three in each poll could still win it, and some of the bottom three could come into play, if people go wild with their vote switches :D There's only one book that seems to be completely out of the running at the moment, but you never know what can happen with hidden polls!

[CBRetriever]

One of the books is part of a special Daily Deal on Amazon for the Kindle version today

The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi by Shannon Chakraborty at only $2.99

[Melanie, the neutral party]

Is it the 15th yet?

[Anna]

There’s an update coming tomorrow!

[Hank]

Is it tomorrow yet?

[Allison, Fairy Mod-mother]

Somewhere!

[SFFBC, Ancillary Mod]

Last chance to vote!

Polls close at midnight on the 15th, Goodreads time (PST/PDT). Remember that you can also change your vote by selecting "change your vote" in the bottom left corner of the poll.

Next month's theme will be revealed tomorrow, and nominations open on the 16th. (Friend the mod account to get updates.)

I confess I didn't follow this thread closely, but I've now voted on both polls (apparently not for the winners, according to the exit polls in the previous post).

However I'm not sure I'll participate to either, so (view spoiler)[spoken in Tom Waits' interpretation of Old Nick, alias the Devil (hide spoiler)] I'll barter my votes for your soul.

[Sarah]

I have to admit this fantasy poll is closer than I expected.

[Anna]

A bunch of new votes have come in today, which is lovely! The top three in both polls is still pretty close, so any campaigning anyone wants to do, there's still a little over 24h left!

[SFFBC, Ancillary Mod]

15h left to vote! Here's a sneaky unveiling of the current top 2!

How did our horoscopes work?? Were we close to what you voted for?

Well. Air signs were recommended for me and that was pretty accurate. I would read any of those.

I think Leo was also recommended for me, and that is/was on my TBR prior to this poll so that’s totally fair (though I didn’t vote for it because I’m not in the mood for it right now).

The only thing I’d contest is one of the avoids (Taurus?) was the one I voted for- because I like stuff about art. But who knows, it wasn’t on my radar before and if it went wrong I could hate it.

So I’d say you did pretty good. Lol

[John Drawdy]

How do we request our own horoscope?

[Allison, Fairy Mod-mother]

I no longer have any to offer, John, sorry! This was for Mod Madness, the books for this have already been revealed and selected -- I hope you like what the group picked!
