Yes, between the two now tied for first, the winner goes to the one first fully nominated, so Love in the Time of Cholera is our official selection for the month!
What a close first vote and run-off all around. I don't think I've seen anything like it in either club the whole time I've been here.
The guidelines were also ironic in this case. We had a run-off this month when there were no "extra" votes to be recast, which is the point of a run-off. And now that we're tied again but do have votes that could be recast, we go to the automatic tie-breaker instead of a run-off. How ironic in both instances! But that's the way it goes. Who could have suspected a scenario like this?
Anyway, though I voted for Borges, I loved the nominations this month and would've been happy with any of the four winning, so I'm looking forward to reading the Garcia Marquez.
