Book Club Voting

RobotLegs

Hope I'm not stealing your thunder, Ghoti   Just being proactive!

ETA:  Votes will be tallied up tomorrow morning, m'kay?  (I want to give evening/night posters a chance to vote)

Ghoti

Nope not at all! I was waiting to see if you were going to post, since you pulled it all together in the other thread  

RobotLegs

I figured we'd go on naming books for the next 3 days if we didn't pick a few soon.

The Mel and Todd Show

When are we closing polling?  I want to read some reviews before voting.  End of business today? 

Ghoti

LOL Mel. You sound so professional  

ahhhitsshannyn

Yes we should put a little disclaimer about each of them.

I take my books very seriously.

That was a joke.  I'm not an asshole.

Crap I want to change my vote. Oh well

Ghoti

Bumped has a book club discussion guide

Beachy730

Or just a link to the other thread that they are all explained in.

Ghoti mentioned in the other thread just doing one this month since there are only 2 weeks left in the month.  We could do that, or just set the date to finish the book by for a month from now.  

Also, are we picking 2 books and people can choose to read either or both?  Or just one?

RobotLegs

Just want to say:  I am SO not in charge of this whole deal, I just made the poll.  *MWAH*

FutureMrsTR

I think Dogs of Babel has a guide in the back as well, but I usually hate those things.

Ghoti

The only problem I see with picking 2, is at this very moment there is an overwhelming vote for bumped, which would leave like, 3 people to read and discuss the second book, which could also very possibly be next months book of choice. How would that work Beach?

Good cuz it's MINE. MY Book Club, MINE! *cackles wildly*<div>

That's fine with me Ghoti.  I really don't care either way, since all 4 of these books are now on my wishlist and I will probably read them regardless.  We could easily do just one this month and 2 next month.  I definitely think these books should go back up for vote next month too.

If you could could figure this out before I leave today, THATD BE GREAT.

Birdie1483

Ghoti, I'm going to let you finish but Kiki had one of the best polls of all time. OF ALL TIME!

LOL, birdie!

Fish, I think it's safe to say you can start reading Bumped if you would like.  I mean, MAYBE a bunch of people will come in later and vote for something else and nobody else will vote for Bumped, but it seems rather unlikely.  It's winning by kind of a lot.

FutureMrsTR

Fish - Just read all of them and you'll be good

The Mel and Todd Show

Question for the Bumped people...I'm reading of it, and I'm wondering, is it Young Adult?  It sounds suspicioulsy Young Adult.  Am I dealing with a snobby reviewer, or is it in fact YA? 

Ghoti

Mel, it's YA

"Megan McCafferty is the author of BUMPED, a satirical dystopian YA novel to be published by the Balzer + Bray imprint of HarperCollins on April 26th, 2011"

RobotLegs

I like to consider myself a fairly young adult.  (I mean, 32 is the new 18, right?)

crfische

alix told me that the distinction of YA refers to the age of the main characters as opposed to the audience it's written for.

Ghoti

Oooh good to know Fishy! I'm always kinda embarrassed that I love YA books LOL...

crfische

Well, at least I'm pretty sure that's what she told me.

RobotLegs

Per Wikipedia:  Young-adult fiction or young adult literature (often abbreviated as YA)^[1][2] is fiction written for, published for, or marketed to adolescents and young adults, roughly ages 14 to 21

This. I mean, generally speaking, the age of the characters dictates the section of the population who's going to be reading the books, but YA is misconceived a lot as being the target audience, when it's "genre" definition is the age of the characters in the books.

Ghoti

Crap.

Ohwell

Hey, how the heck is the hardcover of bumped cost more less than the ebook??

Eep, not more, less!

hlq2011

Looks like it's marked down, Ghoti.  But I think that's crap.

alixzafiris

Arent' eBooks usually cheaper than actual books...?

Says the ignorant fool still holding onto the notion that books should have pages.
