5 of the top 6 I've already read... so Gods of Jad and Shadow needs to stay.
Memory, Achilles, and Mistborn would be fun to discuss in VBC as rereads. Hard no on Night Circus. I disliked it too deeply.
I would not mind if Nightingale and/or Blade bumped something out of top rank.
(My list for Ryan)

Of the ones lurking around the top ten the most interesting are Song of Achilles and Rosewater, with Blade Itself a very distant third.


I've read the current top 7 and remember enough about them all to hold my own in a VBC chat to not have to reread them. Kinda undermining the spirit of this...

An all Fantasy top 6 would be good, especially if we then decide to talk about the sf botm next year. It may result in more muggings in the emotional support room.
that is a very small in joke, target one. ok, I'll vote sabriel and some other f books! share of there are others we want


I think if you click on the name of the book it would show if it was on your TBR. But those are a lot of books to click ;)

I mentioned this in another thread - the Official Re-read program has been working great for me lately. Six months in a row, I have read one of the two titles, so one book "assigned" for me to read in the middle of the month. Perfect


I am not a BR person. I feel like the rereads welcome people who don't want to read in tandem.
Thanks for all your efforts, Anna. I appreciate them, truly.

Live results in spreadsheet:
For the past few years we've gone through a process of voting for and scheduling past reads from the group bookshelf and reading them as a side group. This is intended to work in conjunction with the group Read All the Books! challenge. It is not necessary to join the challenge to participate in this process.
We'll be voting and scheduling for three months at a time. We'll be scheduling two reads per month based on member votes.
1. Voting will take place in
-> November for January-March
-> February for April-June
-> May for July-September
-> August for October-December
2. Schedule will be posted by the end of the voting month
3. Books that have been read by the group (main or reread) in the 24 months prior to the scheduled period will not be eligible, and will not be listed on the form
The only thing you'll need is a gmail login. You'll be able to change and update your votes at any point during the voting process. Books will be listed as title, author, page count.
For all books on the group shelf, see the links at the bottom of Current Events.
