Orphan Train by Christina Baker Kline was the runner up.

There was 10 votes in it at the end but for a while each were running neck and neck, pushing past each other with 1 vote.

Alycia (bookhound18) I'm glad Fangirl won! I started Orphan Train and didn't like it.

That's such a bummer! I really want to read that one. Actually got it for Christmas.

Alycia (bookhound18) Well I hope you like it then! I just felt the writing style was lacking.

Well we all know how weird Alycia's reading tastes are ;)


message 8: by Alycia (new)

Alycia (bookhound18) Ha ha I know! Can't trust my advice in the least! ;)

April Lyn (aprilallyear) | 9 comments I would read Orphan Train as a buddy read.

Cherene | 4 comments Darn. The only one I've already read. Lol.

Dianne Yay - my nomination won!

Stephanie (teff1979) | 69 comments Happy to see fangirl won. I just took it out of the library so I may read more then one book at a time again. It is also one of my books for the challenge for this group to read the books that were nominated for the good reads choice awards!


message 16: by Sarah (new)

Sarah | 1467 comments Yes but I am also part of NBRC and I nominated Orphan Train in that group and it did win their April book if anyone wants to join. They tend to be very structured group reads and I think it will be a good book for discussion.
I did not nominate for this one because I thought there were some great choices, but Fangirl won't be one of them for me. So everyone else enjoy:-)

Sarah | 1467 comments But I will be joining for the MaddAddam trilogy starting in April - so excited.

It was okay, decently written, but I didn't find it phenomenal. Fangirl, wise. Did you want to start buddy read for Orphan Train? There might be enough interest.

Michelle | 10 comments I recently read Fangirl and almost quit. just not my genre (but I didnt really get into The Rosie Project either). I was hoping for Orphan Train too.

I know a couple of you have mentioned that you'd like to read Orphan Train as a buddy read. Someone has suggested it in the buddy read folder and it looks like it is going to happen. You can find the buddy read suggestions here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
