  Are we openly threatening those voting for Gone Girl? Or being nice?

  Whatever is picked I will be reading with you guys, I have been silently voting along the way. I need to read a new book OUTSIDE of my current interests. This should help me.

  I voted for Flowers in the Attic just to be clear.

  I voted for Night Circus simply because I haven't read it before.

  I have both Flowers in the Attic and Night Circus ready to go. I'll be happy with either. Flowers in the Attic is my top choice though.

  I voted GG just to be an asshole. I think there is a clear winner here.

  Night Circus has been on my list for awhile. We can keep that as a suggestion for next time. I'd also like to keep Map of Time. It looks really good.
  
  How long are we going to give ourselves to read each book? I was thinking a month with weekly discussion threads.

  I voted Night Circus but am on board with FITA. Never read it!

  Honestly, I wouldn't be opposed (given all the support) if this determined our first three books.

  If you've already read the book you can still participate as long as you don't spoil parts for others. We'll set a goal every week and only talk about what happened in the book up to that point. For example if our goal is to read chapters 1-5 we can only talk about the book up to chapter 5.
  
  @JNerd what time is the poll officially done? I want to get all the details clear today so we give people a chance to get the book. The holidays are coming up and I know that people are busy.
  
  Don't forget to check your library. Most libraries have ebooks available for download directly from the website. I got both FITA and Night Circus from my library website directly to my kindle. They automatically expire if you don't renew them so no late fees. 
  
  You can download the overdrive app for ebooks and audiobooks from your library as well. I don't know if Night Circus has an audiobook but FITA does. They also automatically expire if you don't renew too. I think it's 21 days until you have to renew. The overdrive app works on any mobile device as well as on a regular computer.

  The poll is closed. Flowers in the Attic won! Thank you loyal voters and creepy lurkers who just like to vote on clicky polls.
  
  When do we want to have our first discussion? I think there are 22 full chapters in the book. What should our weekly goal be? How long are we giving ourselves to read the book?

  How about four weeks? And we can just try to evenly divide the book up? So two weeks of five chapters and two weeks of six chapters.

  That sounds good to me. What about having our first discussion on the 29th?

  That schedule works for me too! At least I will try my best to keep up!

  We'll start the discussion on the first 5 chapters on the 29th but the thread can be bumped up all through out the week until the next discussion. That way people who can't make it that day can still participate.

  I just binge read the whole book.
  
  If I never hear the phrase "golly gee" again I swear it will still be too soon.
  
  That is all until the 29th.
