Bookpossum Vote • June 2017
Help us select what the MR Literary Club will read in June 2017!
The options this month are courtesy of our rotating nominator, Bookpossum. Voting will run for four days. The vote will close exactly four days from this post; even if the final tally doesn't occur immediately after voting closes, no votes made after that time will count. Votes will be made by post. Each person has SEVEN votes to use. You may give each nominee one or two (or no) votes. You may vote all at once in one post or vote in separate posts at different times, so long as you have more votes remaining to cast. You may use any number of your possible votes up to the maximum. Any extraneous votes per person (past their maximum or more than two for one nominee) won't count. Votes cannot be changed once they are cast. The rotating nominator may not vote. Once voting is complete, the count will be tallied and a winner declared. In the event of a tie, there will be a one-day run-off vote, also in this thread. If the run-off also ends in a tie, then the tie will be resolved by the nominator. We hope that you will read the selection with the club and join in the discussion. The floor is now open! * Voting is closed. Final results-

It's difficult because I like most choices close to equally, but votes have to be made so I'll start by giving-
2 to Lucky Jim 2 to The Mystic Masseur |

I'll begin with 2 votes for Possession. It sounds a perfect choice for a literary book club.

I believe that in the US (and perhaps the same may be true of other countries) the published title for Le Testament Francais is Dreams of My Russian Summers. And, yes, there is an ebook available.

Thanks, Bookworm_Girl; that's a good heads up. Bookpossum did note the other title but I only moved the main title she gave over here for the vote to keep the voting totals area more streamlined and consistent.

Voting is now closed. The tie wasn't broken but another, Lucky Jim, came from behind to win. Lucky indeed! Bookpossum will have the discussion thread up soon.
