April's BGO Book Group Choice

[babelbel]

And the winner is.............

Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell with 34.48% of the vote.

Runner up was The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon with 27.59%.

So I thought we could concentrate on Cloud Atlas but have forums for both. That way the prolific readers amongst us ( and I suspect there are many - though not me) can do both if they want!

Message to Bill Can you set up links to bookshops so that users can buy the book(s) through the site if they need to. (I suppose these will effectively be the base thread for the discussion groups)

There were a couple more votes this month than last, so at the moment this little band is growing steadily.

So that you have an idea what I'm planning to do, I will open suggestions for next month's read towards the end of the month (probably around the 23rd) with a vote taking place during the first week of May. I'm happy to do this for the next couple of months to get the group established - after that with any luck we can all take turns!

Get reading and get posting!

If you are posting early please remember to make use of the spoiler tag.

The forum for Cloud Atlas has been set up - it's just below this forum, underneath the one for Saturday by Ian McEwan.

This is a direct link to the synopsis and the links to enable you to buy it through us: http://www.bookgrouponline.com/forum/showthread.html?p=6865#post6865

If you are going to buy this book to read in our book group, please use one of these links to buy via our website. Only a small percentage of the percentage price comes back to us, but every little helps with the maintenance of Book Group Online.

I won't set up a forum for Shadow Of The Wind (there already is one in the Fiction Paperbacks Top 20), as it is eligible to be included in the vote for next month's book.
