CBBC: The Vote Is In

 


In previous iterations of voting, I've had to say something like "the vote was really close" in order to console folks whose first place was not chosen. Well, most of you chose the winner as your first place, so I don't think it will be too shocking for anyone to learn that our next book club read will be The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton. 

Forms response chart. Question title: Rank the following choices from your first (most preferred choice) to third (least preferred choice). . Number of responses: .

This book is in the public domain, so you can find it on The Internet Archive. My local library had about ten different editions with a copy or two of each, so if you're a library user, you'll probably be able to get it that way, too.


Here's the schedule as I see it. I'm going to give everyone a couple of weeks to find the book and then we'll start on our usual Monday schedule.

Monday, February 2: Chapters 1-10
Monday, February 9: Chapters 11-18
Monday, February 16: Chapters 19-26
Monday, February 23: Chapter 27-34
Monday, March 2: Wrap-up

Thanks once again to all who voted! Who's in for this round of CBBC?

    Time to go to the library! Thanks for the graphs- the distribution of votes was interesting! I'm trying to read a classic each month this year- this gives ne February! I read Wuthering Heights for January. Thank goodness that's over with.

    Codex: I won't reread it but would like to pop in from time to time unless that's against the "rules"?

  3. I'm (re)reading it right now but I won't be able to participate much, unfortunately. But it is a wonderful book! I'll be with the CBBC in spirit!

  4. Ooh! I'm excited! I wonder if I might even have my old copy of this book. I'm definitely due for a reread- I probably read it 30 years ago. I think this will be a book that most people will like.
