OK, going to try to do the stats now - so sorry I got sidetracked a few extra days!

 

Here's what the run off rules were:

 

==============================================

 

You may vote between now and midnight Pacific Time on Sunday the 19th 

 

Choose (1) from among these books:

 

A Wrinkle in Time (L'Engle)      <--- one person does not want to read L'Engle

The Book Thief (Zusak)           <--- already has its own thread,
The Fault in Our Stars
The Giver (Lowry)
The Hunger Games (Collins)
The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe

 

==============================================

 

And the votes were:

 

2..........The Book Thief

4..........The Book Thief is pretty long... maybe a different month?

2..........The Lion, the Witch and The Wardrobe

2..........Fault in our Stars

1..........The Giver

2.......... A shorter book than Book thief - any book would be fine

 

 

 

well...looks to me like there is a LOT of interest in Book Thief, but maybe for a longer month than February.

 

 

It looks to me like for February is down to

 

Fault in our Stars

OR

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

 

 

 

So....  IceNine may  put us out of our misery and choose one....

 

or submit your votes for which of these two you want by midnight Sat, Jan 25 Pacific Time.

 

This will give us a chance to get our books and get 'em read in time to start discussing our first book on Feb 1st!!!!!

 

 

so....  we'll plan The Book Thief for a month or two out (so start reading!!!!)

 

and one of these for February (and maybe the runner-up for March or April?) and then the Book Thief?  How does this sound?

 

So... for February.....  

 

FAULT IN OUR STARS

 

or

 

THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE

ANyone can join.... pick one of the books as a preference for February before IceNine decides for us.....

 

I'm torn... I haven't read The Fault is in Our Stars at all... and haven't read LW&W for a long time.... I'm really open to either... how about the rest of you?   

 

IceNine... where are you?

I'll vote for The Fault in our Stars, since I've never read it and I've read The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe many times. Not to mention, the preview I just read off of Amazon was pretty good.

The Fault in Our Stars. It's supposed to be really good, and the amount of people voting for it seems to back that rumor up.

So far it is 6.5 vs 1.5 in favor of The Fault In Our Stars.  Technically we have until Sunday at midnight and/or until IceNine calls it... but I suspect we have a winner.........

 

Anyone else wanna vote?

Rather than spending money that could go towards my kilt, I'll just use the library.
