My August TBR List Poll Winner!

Thank you for helping me decide what book from my TBR collection I should read next:


My TBR List is a meme hosted by the awesome Michelle at Because Reading. It’s a fun way to choose a book from your TBR pile to read. The 1st Saturday of every month, I will list 3 books I am considering reading and take a poll as to which you think I should read. I will read the winner that month, and my review will follow (unfortunately, not likely in the same month, but eventually--that's all I can promise).




It was a tight race this week. I had a three way tie up until Friday night, when I sent out a plea for a tie breaker. With nine votes to the other two at eight votes each, Peter Swanson's The Girl with a Clock For a Heart wins my August TBR poll. I think that was my closest poll yet! Thank you to all who voted!





It just so happens I just finished reading Julia Alvarez's In the Time of the Butterflies and am ready to jump right into Peter Swanson's novel.

What are you reading this weekend?

    1. Greg - As much as I want to read all three, I was hoping one would come out on top just in case I can't get to them all this month. LOL

  6. Looks like it was a close race between the 3 choices. I am reading a Biography of Ernest Hemingway and some memoirs.

    1. Ellen - It was close! This month's choices were all popular. :-)

      It's been ages since I read anything by Hemingway. How are you enjoying the biography about him?

  9. I voted for the book that won, but what strikes me is how incredibly close all of them were in the running! Wendy, do you ever remember that happening before on your blog?

    1. Donna Marie - I know I've had close polls before, but I don't think quite that close, especially not right up until the last minute.
