They all look about equally good to me (no surprise there!). I'm not sure how to decide what to vote for but I've already read three of the previews so I'll go ahead and give those votes and wait til a little later to decide on the remainder of my votes after I look at the rest of them.
-1 to The Winemaker -1 to The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane -1 to Five Quarters of the Orange |

Initial voting is complete and we've got five still in it! We have a tie between:
-Five Quarters of the Orange -The Tea Planter's Wife -The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane -The Bean Trees -The Winemaker Run-off voting is now open! Voting will close exactly TWO DAYS from this post. Each person has FOUR votes to use. If the run-off ends in a tie, the selection that received all its votes first will win. |

Really, I'll be happy with any of these. I have no strong opinion on which should win. I can't vote for all so I've eliminated one (that I would've also been equally happy to read!), and otherwise I'll spread my votes out again, with them simply listed in reverse nomination order:
-1 to The Winemaker -1 to The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane -1 to The Tea Planter's Wife -1 to Five Quarters of the Orange |

The only reason that I did not vote for this book was because I’ve already read it. I highly recommend it. The history was so interesting that I read a nonfiction book afterwards to learn more.
