If I Stay by Gayle Formam

Caleb's Crossing by Geraldine Brooks

[Tera, First Chick]

Just an FYI I'm changing things up a little this time and trying something new.
We will read only ONE book in August unless there is over 50 votes cast.
The reason for this is based in part on the feedback from the survey and in part from the low amount of nominations and from the low amount of participation.
I know that lack of participation always happens in the heart of summer (and nov-dec) so it's to be expected. I want to see if doing it this way makes the discussion a little stronger during the slow summer months of July and Aug.
However, if I'm totally nuts and there is enough interest in more than one book Ill put up both for the month. The best way for me to know this is by votes.
Thanks,
Tera

Great idea. Besides, The Bronze Horseman and The Forsyte Saga are both "longer" reads!

Do you know you have Caleb's Crossing on the August poll twice and "If I Stay" isn't on the poll at all.

[Tera, First Chick]

Yeah I just noticed and fixed it. It's still early ;)
