If you're already part of the club, awesome! Keep checking to see when the live chat will be for our current book, Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher.
The time is coming to choose a new book, and since we promised you'd be able to vote on the next book we read, I'd thought I'd post the poll now. You all have 6 days to vote. Results will be posted on the morning of Tuesday, March 1. Below are the titles and summaries (taken from Goodreads) of the books we've chosen. Vote for whichever one interests you the most! I'm looking forward to see what you pick!
