This is extraordinary. At this point, eight people have voted, and seven have voted for Thorne Smith.

It wasn't on my list, but I haven't voted yet. Still thinking about them. Nothing's really crying out to me, I admit.

One more day to vote!
Time to drum up some more support if you don't want to read Night Life of the Gods or pile on if it sounds good. |

Hmm, it's too late now, but in fact, The Night Life of the Gods was not eligible this month, as it was last a nominee in October 2015, five months ago, and we have a six months rule.
I got curious, because I know it's been up for consideration more than once before and I checked. This is the fourth time it's made it to the vote and the most recent, as I said, made it ineligible for this month. Oh well, perhaps it's a good thing that we'll finally be putting this baby to rest! |

Of course, we could follow the rules, make The Night Life of Gods gone and go from there with the votes the other books have. That would make more sense given that this book is ineligible.

I think the statute of limitations ran out on this, Jon.

Agreed. If we'd realized before the voting was nearly done we could have disqualified it. But given where we're at, and given that so many have (finally) decided they want to read it, I think it needs to stay in.

Whooops!
I didn't remember this being nominated before when I nominated it and I was fairly sure I had seen it in the Mobileread Library Recommendations thread but I don't see it there now. Sorry for the error (but I am glad it is staying and winning!) |

Well, there are two options and allowing it to remain should not be one of them since that would make three options and we only have two options.
Option 1: remove the book from the voting list and go with the list as it is with the votes for the rest Option 2: start a new thread with a new poll with this book removed It's unfair if it wins and becomes the book for March. If we are going to violate the rules, then let's violate all the rules. So really, let's not violate the rules knowingly since leaving this book will knowingly violate the rules. |
