OH! That was for naught! The poll is closed, and I won't be able to vote in the runoff unless it's another tie. Well, be back soon with the runoff poll.

The runoff poll has been posted. There's no multiple choice voting in the runoff, as it is unnecessary.

It was almost a 4 way tie even. I did not see that coming when I checked last night. That would have been interesting.

Nothing at all! But no, the Canadian book didn't get into this month's list, but it did get into my Calibre by way of the BC Library. Thanks!
And Canadians can freely download one of the two books that DID get into the runoff at FadedPage. So I have at least two good books to read this month, for a net cost of $0.00. |

I will not vote for the Tey book just so nobody will be buying the illegal version. Last edited by JSWolf; 01-28-2016 at 03:05 PM. |

2) I read this many years ago: At the time Burr was starring in a CBS western radio show whose name escapes me (maybe Fort Laramie?). He tried out for the part of Burger, and to his surprise he was given the part of Mason. Since TV stars were able to arrange for actors to get occasional jobs on their shows, he announced the news to his radio colleagues, and said, "Gentlemen, we're all going to be rich!" |

Of course. The idea of Alexander Hamilton showing up naked at a pot party just boggles the mind.
