All of these look so good it was hard to decide. I voted for 66% of them.

I'd like to try a Maeve Binchy book but it's looking...a little behind at the moment.
Two books I've already seen the films of in the lead - I'd love to read another Ishiguro book in Never Let Me Go even knowing basically the entire story from the film, but I'm also interested in The Age of Innocence - saw the film when it first came out, and that was long enough ago that I've forgotten enough of it to make reading it now a new experience, even though I do remember the gist of what happens. Also interested in Ali and Nino - sounds interesting and unique. I've already read The Fault in Our Stars very recently, and thought it was a great quirky YA cancer romance/drama - if it wins I think many of you will like it, and it's based on a real girl. Also already read Jane Eyre; really great classic that would deserve a win but I'm not up for re-reading it at the moment. Would've liked to vote for the gay romances, but with such good competition this month I had to leave off. |

For thioe who voted for Never Let Me Go, I think you will find it a an odd read. Plus, the romance part is secondary at best.

Jane Eyre is probably a bit old fashioned but aught to be a good read. I started it some yrs back but got sidetracked by something (can't remember what) and never got back to it.

@sun surfer: I did not know The Fault in Our Stars was based on a real girl. I like that book, and I would like to reread it but my vote goes for my top three nominations. I've read quotes about Jane Eyre and I really want to read the book (read the first chapter only days ago.. and I liked it)

Hahahahaha! JSWolf, if you don't mind me asking, you really don't want to read Jane Eyre, do you? Hahaha
![]() So I got curious about The Age of Innocence (currently having a winning streak here) and while my best friend says it's boring, I wanted to read it myself and find out why it won the Pulitzer Price in 1921. |

JSWolf thinks just about anything written before color TV (except for H.G. Wells) is old and musty and shouldn't be read. Take his comments with a spoonful of salt. Or maybe with an entire salt lick.

I'm always game to read something new and I will read whatever is chosen for this month, but it's not a genre I'm really interested in. I'm still recovering from having to read Outlander last year - boy, I really didn't like that one!

Not much fear in losing one of my country reads to a bookclub read at this point.
Come on bookclub, let's pick an author we haven't read previously! |

This is my first time to vote for the MR Book Club so I wasn't there when Outlander was the pick. It's been completely pending in my library though! I purchased it last year because a lot of people recommended it to me. Guess I have to see it for myself soon if it's my cup of tea. Haha.
