I know that I said that each time I read a book I would then let you vote on the next book I should read. Unfortunately, it seems that I read faster than I can find time to look up links and post, so the result has been that, while I HAVE been faithful in reading the books that won the elections, I have also read several books for which you did not have the opportunity to vote. To try to remedy that, today I am listing SEVEN potential next-reads for your voting enjoyment. Also, I am asking that you select TWO novels from the list. The top THREE selections will be my next three reads. I hope that by increasing the number of books you choose for me each poll, I can find the time for another poll before I am done reading the books on which you voted, so I will NEVER HAVE TO SELECT MY OWN BOOKS AGAIN!!! The poll will be open until 8:00am Friday, March 27th (Hopefully EDT, but who knows, really?). Your choices this time are:
The Year of Fog by Michelle Richmond,
High Five by Janet Evanovich,
Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury,
Fatal Flaw by William Lashner,
The Stingray Shuffle by Tim Dorsey,
Pandora by Anne Rice and
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson.
Also, it has come to my attention that my prolific library-sale-and-bargain-table purchasing has led to my having two copies of yet another novel. This one is Lean Mean Thirteen by Janet Evanovich. It is a hardcover that I purchased for $1.00 from a library sale and it is missing its dust-jacket. Still a perfectly good read, and really, isn't a dusty dust-jacket just as big a pain-in-the-ass as a dusty book sans jacket? If you would like me to send you this novel, just leave a comment. If you are familiar with the series to which the novel belongs, tell me how you are like the heroine, Stephanie Plum. Go ahead, you can admit it here. :) I will randomly select a winner to be announced as soon as I get around to posting again after Friday morning. POSSIBLY as soon as THAT DAY, but don't hold your breath or you'll turn blue.

I have The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo on my list at the library, but I'm 324th in line for it. Boo!
I pick The Girl with the Dragan Tattoo and Fahrenheit 451. But really, won't you end up reading all of them?
i;'ve heard really good things about the girl with the dragon tattoo! and i liked the name of the stingray shuffle :-)
um... although now it appears there IS no vote for the stingray shuffle, so apparently i don't know how to use that widget.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. Possibly the best book of 2008. I REALLY hope you like it, since, um, it's totally crushing the other books in the poll.
