For our April book, we’ve come up with 6 titles that sound interesting. One is the true story about a blind cat and the woman who adopted him. The others are novels, including a legal thriller, cozy mystery and historical romance.

So fellow TCS readers, we need you to vote to narrow the list down to three books.

The book that gets the most votes will be April’s choice.
The 2nd and 3rd runners up will be choices for later months.

Since there’s 6 books to choose from, and as we’re feeling generous, we’re giving everyone 3 votes !!!

So of the 6 titles, you can vote for 1, 2 or 3 that you’d like to be future book club choices.

Note that you can only click the "Vote" button once, so make sure you vote for all 3 books at once.

Votes are anonymous, btw, so no one will know who voted, or which books they voted for. Voting does not commit you to reading the book, but of course, we hope you do, as the more readers, the better.

The poll will run for 5 days, giving everyone a chance to vote, and then time to acquire the book by April.

Feel free to post any questions and/or comments below.

Here are the descriptions for the 6 books.

Homer's Odyssey by Gwen Cooper - non fiction, cats, biography

Yep, and "Louisiana Longshot is one of those books that I have read and re-read, and LOL EVERY SINGLE TIME! I watch her website like a hawk, looking for new books to come out. I visit the Sinful, Louisiana website fairly regularly, and have my Honorary Sinful Ladies membership certificate printed out and hanging in my living room! Yes, I'm a fan! And will happily read it again! And again. And again!

At least at the moment, Louisiana Longshot is available for free in electronic format at most booksellers. Louisiana Longshot by Jana DeLeon is Free! - BookBub Click on "Get Deal" and it will give you a choice of places to "buy" it from.

That will make it easy for everyone to acquire it, if it holds onto its lead and we reading it in April. :)

I like this series too! It is a fun read and a most interesting place the author writes about.

The three I voted for were top 3, crazy!
Good for you. :thumbsup:

I voted for the 2 that came in 2nd place, and one that didn't make the cut. Of the three winners, I'm most looking forward to reading In Five Years and since I have influence in the books we choose, we may get to read it sooner than later. :)
