I see nothing to gain by that, Jon. There's no coercion here, though I admit to occasionally urging others to vote for my choice(s), but certainly you can't complain about that. This has been tried before (thanks for the link, John F)) and a wise decision was made to have open voting. There's nothing unfair about it - that's a claim that simply won't wash.
Now, back to the reason we're here. I'm disappointed to not see the Dana Stabenow book (A Cold Day for Murder) doing better. This is a superb book, the start of a series but completely standalone, that provides an interesting look into life in rural Alaska while giving us wonderful characters and an excellent mystery. Much more than YAM. Plus it's FREE, so no concerns about cost or library availability, and short, making it easy for folks to consume in time for the discussion, and it even has an excellent audio version for those who want to read it that way.
