2027 Book Election

November 6, 2026

The nominations are in! After double checking for duplicates, we have a total of 37 great books in the list to decide from. It’s picking and choosing time!

To make our decisions a little easier, you can click on however many books you’d like to read. Then those with the most votes will make the list. In the event we end up with no clear cutoff at 12 books, we’ll put those on the bubble up for a runoff round of voting. Apologies that the Google form along with the sheets are not very mobile friendly. :/

For reference on what the books are about, the full list with descriptions is below the ballot.

And below that is our full list of books we’ve read going back to the late 19th century!
