"The thing with kids is, if they want to grab for the gold ring, you have to let them do it, and not say anything. If they fall off, they fall off, but it is bad to say anything to them.” ― J.D. Salinger, The Catcher In The Rye

BOOK CLUB: And the winner is...

May 31, 2015 Heather Ratliff

It's a tie!

Whoops.  We have a tie people.  The contenders are Paper Towns by John Green and Odd Thomas by Dean Koontz.  After careful consideration, I decided the only way to solve this is to flip a coin.  Thanks to Wolfram|Alpha widgets, I can do just that.

So here we go! Best two out of three: Paper Towns is heads and Odd Thomas is tails!

Round 1

Heads.  One for Paper Towns.

Heads.  One for Paper Towns.

Round 2

Tails.  One for Odd Thomas! 

Tails.  One for Odd Thomas! 

Round 3

Heads!

Heads!

and the winner is PAPER TOWNS by John Green!!!

How does this work?

Basically everyone participating will read Paper Towns by John Green.  On June 30th, I'll do a book review and my thoughts on the book, and we'll start a conversation in the comments à la traditional book club. 

I am very excited to start this with everyone. We'll start voting for July's book on June 21st.  If you have any suggestions for the next book club, let me know in the comment section below!

Thanks for voting and keep reading!
