BelleZora, thank you for your feedback on Bird Box, I have no expectations going into that one. I hope we both enjoy The Martian and The Iron King! Thank you and a very Happy New Year to you both!! It does sound fascinating, yet people seem reluctant to give it a go. Thank you for your feedback and for participating in the poll. I look forward to reading Dust, eventually. |

So the best way to enjoy your read would be to go in with a fresh set of eyes - forget all the positive and negative things you heard about it. |

I'm another who voted for those I'd be most interested in reading, as I haven't read any of them.

I voted for two of the ones I've read that I know what take too long to read and are quite good.

I've tried a number of authors on that list and I confess most of them aren't really books I've enjoyed. However, I do like the two books I've read from Patricia Wrede, so that's the one I voted for!!!

I voted for The Enchanted Forest book 1, since I love that series.
It is one of my all-time top-5-or-so favorites, and as I said elsewhere I am positive you will love it. Rather disappointing that it seems so few have even heard of it... I also voted for the Hitchhiker's Guide, which has a similar zany humor although the last two were a little too dark and didn't work as well. Haven't read most of the others, so I didn't feel comfortable recommending them. |

Nyssa, here is another good idea: after you read the top 3 or 4 of the poll you should consider the losers without a vote. You can be the guinea pig and tell us afterwards if they were any good.

Less than an hour to go... before the poll closes, I wonder if there will be any last minute/ surprise votes! |

Maybe I'm just stupid when it comes to polls... but I thought this was a public poll where we could see each others' choices. So why can't I see them anymore?
