As a fan of both cozy mysteries and cheese, I'd like to see a bit more love for The Long Quiche Goodbye by Avery Aames.
I'm good with that one as well, and did give it a vote. I like cheese, though I'm not feeling very cozy right now. I want some Alaskan cold and a really special dog. (Mutt, Kate Shugak's half-wolf partner.)

Come to think of it, I voted for that one, too.

Lead change last night and now there are 10 hours to go.

Does someone want to send us to a tie-breaker?

Unless something really interesting happens it doesn't look like we will have more than a 2-way runoff though, but maybe...just 3 people voting for A Cold Day for Murder and 1 for The Three-Body Problem would do it.

Either one of which I'd much rather read. I've tried Red Mars once, I can't imagine I'd like to repeat the experience. Though if we select it, I might, since I have no memory of the details at all. But I can't say I'm looking forward to it.

I'm happy to give Red Mars or Three Body Problem a go. I did give them the nods in the nominating thread. These are two books I've got in my TBR pile.

Looks like Red Mars it is. Well, I'll see. It's not overly expensive, and it's even available for immediate borrowing at the BC Library. So, maybe...

Our records show that you already purchased Red Mars (Mars Trilogy Book 1) on March 22, 2009.
Evidently That book's been on my TBR list for quite some time! I just saved $7.99!

The advantage of being Amazon's lady dog! They'll stop you from rebuying. Not that I've ever purchased an epub I already owned, or anything.

Moreover, it tells me that in 2009 something about this book appealed to me sufficiently to entice me to buy it. Or maybe it was free at the time. 2009 was a long time ago!

I suggest you download Red Mars again because chances are it's been updated/changed since 2009.

Thanks for the suggestion, Jon. I downloaded it from the cloud rather than retrieve the old copy from my calibre library, so I trust the copy I downloaded is the current one.

I have downloaded from Amazon and gotten a later version. So yes, what you have would be the latest version.

Roughly the same here (62%). Yesterday I decided to put two non-fiction books I'm reading on hold so I can finish in time for the discussion. 584 pages total in this book.
