Decisions, Decisions.... Time to VOTE

Reminder: we will meet this Saturday, January 17, at Ryland Hall, University of Richmond, in the usual room, at 5 p.m..

Nominations are now officially closed. See the previous post for links to Amazon.com for book descriptions, and then return to this post and vote---using the "comments" section below---for no more than three (3) of the following (listed in order of their nomination). I'll tally them Friday night, and we'll have our May book by Saturday morning. If it's a tie, we'll break that tie at the meeting:

Blonde Roots, by Bernardine Evaristo
