Three books were nominated for the May/June book vote. I am going to stick with the three titles and not submit one myself because the purpose of asking you to nominate a title was to put it i your hands for a change. The following books were nominated:
MATRIMONY: A Novel by Joshua Henkin
Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Occasion for Loving by Nadine Gordimer
So without further ado HERE is the Planet Books voting poll for May/June. The deadline is Sunday, May 4th at midnight EST (in Okinawa that is Monday, May 5th at 1pm).
Not to try to stuff the ballot box here, but just a note from me, Joshua Henkin, the author of MATRIMONY, saying that if MATRIMONY it is for the month of May/June, I’d be more than happy to participate in your book group discussion, answer questions, etc.
Thanks so much!!! We’ll know in a few days which book we’ll be reading here at Planet Books.

Looks like there’s a tie! We need more readers to settle this!
Yes we do!!! Hopefully by the end of the weekend something will happen.
Can you see the votes? If so, maybe you could ask the person who voted for the Occasion for Loving to see which of the other two selections he/she would most like to read. That could help break the tie.
That’s a really good idea, Beastmomma. I’m going to guess it was Care because she recommended that book.
As of right now the tie has been broken. We’ll see what happens in the next 29 hours or so.
Oh goodness! What’s happened here! Now, I’m on the edge of my seat…
