PLEASE VOTE FOR YOUR TOP TWO IN EACH CATEGORY (MODERN AND CLASSIC). Once I have a job (May 2nd!) I'll hopefully be buying a paid account, but in the meantime we can just use screned comments as voting. You CAN choose the book that you suggested, if you want.

If you'll notice -- I didn't include May's entries. I'm letting the suggestions continue there until Monday, because the response isn't as great as I'd like. So, suggest for May and sumbit your entries for our graphic contest here!, and vote for April's books (your TOP TWO!) in the comments below. Comments are screened!

Please make informed decisions -- that's why we have the links to amazon for you :) Voting for April's books will ONLY be until Monday (April 4th) at 10PM EST, so vote now!

Hi. I know I just joined, but RL has interfered, and I'm not able to keep up with the club (or even the community as a whole). Sorry! I really did like the idea, though. Thank you!

[intotheheart.livejournal.com]

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully if your time frees up you'll consider coming back :)

[intotheheart.livejournal.com]

you can vote for two in each category if you want :) Just in case you missed that!

Re: My vote *tries again*

[intotheheart.livejournal.com]

votes are screened, so you may not be able to see your own :) you can also vote for your top two choices if you wish.

No, it's not necessary to sign them with your name/house, although it makes my life easier when you're doing the "suggestion" comments (not the voting comments)

:)
