Based upon your feedback, we're going to be trying out some new things over the next few months. (If you haven't yet taken the anonymous 4-question survey on how to make our book club better, please do. Take it & you might win an Amazon gift card!)
In the surveys submitted so far, many of you are appreciative of how we select the country's books. You liked that:
- We included different genres
- Members could suggest books
- The books Mia & I find are often readily available in both ebook & paperback formats to borrow/buy
No system is perfect, but we're glad that the majority of you seem to enjoy our book selections as well as reading books from other countries.
Now onto the vote!
Vote on Which Book to Read in September
A big shout to Kathryn Fox, Caity Greig, & Kaman Maxwell for their suggestions! Since the book club votes from a list of 6 books every month (2 from me, 2 from Mia & 2 from members), we chose which of the member-suggested books would be included via lottery. Click here to view a 1 minute 29 second video & turn up the sound to see which books were suggested & watch the lottery draw as it occurred.
For September, we have 2 new genres in the list which we've never included before: Psychological & Young Adult. In addition, there are 4 other genres to choose from: Science Fiction, Autobiography, Literature & Urban.
You can vote until Sun., Aug. 20 11PM ET. (That's NYC time. See this converted to your local time below.)
To participate:
1. Review the books.
We'll publish the anonymous results afterwards so you can get the book in advance.
