Or could I have four extra votes, please?

I'll see if I can work out a secret deal.

Lol. I'll get my two year old to sign up. No I wouldn't do that. He probably wouldn't discuss it unless we're okay with "dis car gaxy dis train."

Wow, only two books have fewer books than Storm Front. I would have put money on that being the winner this month.

WT Sharpe · 12-23-2011, 10:31 AM

Storm Front is on my TBR list, but Black Rain looks really interesting.

Way to go Jon .. Umm, sorry. Tom... I've already voted for it and I'll see if I can get my roommates to sign on.

We only need a few more votes, maybe even just one, to make sure that A Game Of Thrones is in the final vote! It would be nice to read about an interesting fantasy land during January.

It would be, unfortunately, one wasn't nominated.

^Lol.

Only 22 hours and a bit left for voting. Screw the holiday shopping everyone, starting getting people to vote!

More like a little less than 10 hours. I'm on pins and needles! No Game of Thrones or or Storm Front.

HomeInMyShoes · 12-23-2011, 01:44 PM

Whoops. Must be a math challenged day. I'll take "blame it on the eggnog for $400 Alex".

sun surfer · 12-23-2011, 01:54 PM

The funny thing about Storm Front is that I really wouldn't have minded reading it if it had ever won. It wouldn't ever have been my first choice but the club is all about trying things one wouldn't normally try. But the way it was repeatedly nominated over and over turned me away from it. I swear, I won't ever hear about bad weather moving in again without thinking of the book club!

HomeInMyShoes · 12-23-2011, 02:46 PM

I'm guessing no more than three or four more votes to come prior to the poll closing. Looks like it's a battle for the second place run-off spot.

Asawi · 12-23-2011, 03:16 PM

I really like that we'll have two-tier voting this month. That means my early, uninspired vote won't be wasted after all! I'll get another chance to influence the result. Me like!

A bit of cold war for a cold january surely!

Nyssa · 12-23-2011, 08:05 PM

It took a 3 hour round trip and 2 used book stores, but I found a copy of The Spy Who Came in from the Cold, as well as a few other finds and future b-day gifts for my little ones. No luck on Black Rain, however - that will have to come from Amazon, should it win.
