Dave and I always have large lists of books to read. Most of these books fit into one of the genres covered by Book-A-Minute, and so we give these books the ultra-condensation treatment as we finish each one.

From time to time, we will let you help us decide which book on our reading lists we will read next (and subsequently condense on Book-A-Minute) by voting for a list of candidates. Here you will find information on elections in progress. Your email address will be required to vote, but this is just for authentication purposes. Your email address will not be sold or given out to anyone.

One vote per person per election is permitted. No write-in votes are allowed. Registering multiple votes under alternate email addresses will result in the removal of ALL votes you have registered.

In the event of a tie, we will cast the deciding vote ourselves. We'll read and condense whatever book is elected, but we can't guarantee when we'll finish. Go to town!
