Anyone who wants to join in on our discussions is more than welcome to vote and help us narrow down our choices! You may vote on your top four books, then I'll close voting on May 24th and the top four votes will be the books we read together in June, July, August and September.

    Here are links to your choices:

    1. Educated by Tara Westover
    2. The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah
    3. You by Caroline Kepnes

    So many great choices this time around! I've already changed my vote twice because I can't decide! There are three books (1, 2 and 4) that I've already read and really loved, so I don't know if I should vote for those so I can chat about them with you guys or vote for NEW books to read. :giggle It's easy to say that I'll be happy with whatever books we end up picking out! :)

    I LOVED the Nightingale- she's actually my favorite author- I've read every book she's written! :blush (She's from the area of my hometown so it's always easy to imagine most of her settings!)

    BUT I voted for others to give them a chance! lol!

    The Nightingale is seriously my #1 all time favorite book!! And, like @amien1, Kristen Hannah is my favorite author!! Great list and I am also going to have a hard time deciding my votes!

    I didn't vote for Nightingale... but I will totally read it again if it gets picked. I loved it too! I've loved all of her books that I've read so far!

    I've got The Nightingale on hold, My Not So Perfect Life I've read (and loved), The Paper Magician isn't available at my library and I've got Educated on hold. I'll watch my library to see if they get Paper Magician in over the summer. They rotate books a lot so it could show up at any time.

    Rae, do you have Amazon Prime and a kindle (or the Kindle app)? The Paper Magician is available for Kindle Unlimited or you can buy it for $1.99.

    Oh that's right: I forget about Digital Rights and how some countries don't have the same access to certain titles. :duh Glad they had it hope you like it! It's not a difficult read, and IDK about you, but I need something easy right now lol!

    I’m listening to Educated on Scribd right now. I’m sure it’s going to be really good but it’s a little slow. I’m sticking with it though.
