What Should I Review? You Decide.

It’s getting down to the wire. I’ve eighty-one books to review and only three days to do it. Long story short, it’s not gonna happen.  So we’re reviving the old Vote For Your Favorite game.  The rules are simple.  This year I played it lazy and simply cut and pasted my To Review list from Goodreads here.  There are eighty-two titles listed below.  My request to you is to find the one book you would like me to review for 2011 and to tell me so in the comments.  At midnight I close down the comments and will tally the end results.

In the past I used an online survey system for this poll, but I found that folks got a little overly enthusiastic with that kind of thing.  So to avoid that you have only 24 hours to place one comment in this post.  Do not email me your request, even if my comment feature isn’t working.  I apologize, but this is the method I prefer and my email in-box is a bit full as it is.

Also remember that there may be a reason I didn’t review the book you have an eye on.  I’m going to be perfectly honest in my review and if I hated it I will say so long and strong.  Could just be that I loved it and didn’t have time for it though.  To play it safe, I suggest selecting a book that you simply want another opinion on.

Thanks for helping me out!  I’ve found time to review a lot of great books this way.

P.S. Those ratings next to each books are the cumulative Goodreads ratings and not my own.
