Vote on 2010 book list

Taylor enjoys books that are about five pages long with spongy animal puzzle pieces to scatter about the room.

Taylor recommends books that are five to six pages long with colorful, spongy animal puzzle pieces to scatter about the room.

The people have spoken — all, like, seven of us. We have 33 books to choose from, and man, there are a lot of good ones. Thank goodness we live in a democratic book club.

The official rules of voting
Same as last year: Check off your top picks.

Don’t worry about length or when we might read what — just vote on what you’d really like to read. Once we have a list of what got the most votes, we’ll worry about what goes where and if we got a good mix — just like we always do.

Not sure what a book’s about? The list with descriptions and sometimes URLs is below the voting list.

(Sorry this isn’t the prettiest. Nonprogrammers can’t be too particular.)
