Becky - lol!
**cough cough**Maus**I need to find a throat lozenge:)
Laura, I saw that the three of us voted for the same book. I already read I am the Messenger (and loved it!)and I've been dying to read The Graveyard Book and I don't want to read it "alone".
Would you like me to put up a poll? That way we can cast a vote with the click of a button, and voila! it's tallied!
I am so lookin forward to read The Graveyard. Been wanting to read it for a whiel.Excuse me miss TWEETY, who do you think your poking your tongue at :P back at u.
Kandice, I am a better tongue poker than her (((((((((((((((:PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP)))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Fiona wrote: "It's in the polls already Alethea. This lot are just bickering, ignore them. :P"Ah! Ok! I voted. Wow, did you guys read "Group Rules"? ^_^ Pretty sure tongue poking is outlawed, if not highly discouraged. (under breath: Grown-ups!)
They started it Alethea. I was being grown up.
thats okay, our moderator :Ps with the best of them.
Fiona allows tongue poking as long as no one is offended. that ^Fiona doesn't care so it's okay! LMAO
Well GO GRAVEYARD - NEIL GAIMANWoo woo woo woo
Umm.... I think it should be made a rule that whoever does not already own the winning book must purchase it. *looks for ways to avoid feeling guilty about breaking my own book ban*
Fiona wrote: "Psh, your book ban's biting the dust Becky. You are already guilty."Yes yes, but I don't have to FEEL that way. If you'd just make it a rule... *looks hopeful*
*pretends she made it a rule anyway* :P
No means no!You can have it be a personal rule. I can make sure you're sticking to it if you like?
I know:( I'm still reading Maus, but now I'll be forced (haha) to buy another book!
Now I'm nervous. What if it really wins and everyone hates it? But it is a really great book. But so are the others I've read from this list.
Don't worry JG... I haven't read a lot of Gaiman's books, but the ones I have read I've loved. I doubt you'll get much hissing and booing if your nom wins. :)
I haven't read any, but I loved the Stardust movie and have been wanting to read something of his ever since. It's not like you WROTE it J.G. just suggested it:)
I voted for Anne of Green Gables as well. I have never read it but I love the movie.
I would've voted for Graveyard Book.. but I already read it!
GraveyardGraveyard!
Gaiman is terrific, I think anything he did would be great.
if he wins I have an excuse to go buy the book...LOL I've been wanting to read it for sometime.

*Well, not an "Official" rule, but we can't be feeling guilty about the amount of book purchases we're
LOL right.....I'll go with that...hopefully my husband will agree...lol
We could always take the top 3 and have a vote-off.
Wonder if we have to read both *thinks if she can get an audio for either or both lol*
Since Maus was clearly not going to win, I changed my vote.
whatever the mod votes for should automatically be the winner in the case of a tie.And gosh Fiona, didn't you vote for Anne?
er...so I suppose Laura voted for Graveyard?
well....Anne comes first alphebetically! Duh, it wins :D
yeah, its easy for me to say since I've already read Anne 100 times...but I think we should read both :D
cause I really want to read Graveyard :P
I voted for Graveyard because I read Anne on January 1 of this year. So, too soon for a re-read. Plus, I love Gaiman.

Laura wrote: "I voted for Graveyard because I read Anne on January 1 of this year. So, too soon for a re-read. Plus, I love Gaiman."yeah, I really want to read it too...I just like being difficult ;)
Whatever it is, I think you should end the poll already so I can plan my challenge list!! LOL
Hmmmm, maybe I should change my vote and break the tie....
Susan wrote: "Hmmmm, maybe I should change my vote and break the tie...."Maybe, depends on how you want to change it... lol jk
