Brave New World and The Steerswoman are coming up on the outside!

CRussel 05-01-2016 02:17 AM

Well, there are certainly two completely different works!

@nurseshelly: While I agree, the merit of a book isn't determined by its length, we all have external lives and commitments, and having a long book to read can be a problem for some people, especially if they first have to wait their turn at the library. So keeping track of the pages (and the cost), and factoring that into our choices, helps more people participate. And that's a good thing.

A little help for The Steerswoman would be appreciated. While the two current leaders are fine books, one I absolutely won't read again. Too dark and I really don't want to go there. Plus, we should all have read it at some time in our past, so how about trying something new? With a premise and a POV that I think you'll find interesting.

I agree. One is too dark and the other has no audiobook in the UK. I am rooting for The Steerswoman as well.

We need more votes for The Door into Summer.

GA Russell 05-02-2016 12:17 AM

I can't help but think that issybird will be voting at 11:59!

It would have won if you had voted for it.

She didn't but I did. ;)

And no, I didn't change my vote just to make it a 3-way tie, that's just a pleasant bonus. I plan on reading any of the winners but Brave New World and Door into Summer I will have to force myself to start.

CRussel 05-02-2016 01:41 AM

She didn't -- rumour has it she's taking a vacation. But Dazrin saved us and gave us a 3-way.

GA Russell 05-02-2016 02:36 AM

Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think that 9 is many votes with 24 voters.

Dazrin 05-02-2016 02:53 AM

There weren't any run-away options this time around that is for sure. But hopefully that is more because people liked most of the options rather than liking none of the options. I know I was willing to read most of the nominated titles.

WT Sharpe 05-02-2016 08:08 AM

I've posted the run-off poll. Since there are more than two choices, it is multiple-choice.
