NOMINATIONS ARE OPEN

Nominations are open for our May 19th meeting. This time the selection is wide-open, wild card, and genre-free. Please nominate no more than two (2) books. Nominations will stay open until Wednesday night, then we'll vote on the nominations for the next book selection. If there's a tie---and only if there's a tie; even a one-vote margin is a legitimate victory--we'll break the tie by secret-ballot vote at the meeting.

Meanwhile, we will meet on Saturday, March 17th, at UR, in our usual spot, at 5 p.m. We'll discuss Edwidge Danticat's Brother, I'm Dying for two hours, and then make an eating move for anyone who can make it. See you then.
