Voting
So I was so proud of myself for being on top of things and getting the book selection post all ready ahead of time and not forgetting about it this month. Today I remembered that I had not cast my vote yet so I headed over here to do so. That is when I realized that I had been on top of things as far as posting the book choices but I had completely forgotten to make the poll. (Insert head slap here). Not having a poll makes it a bit difficult to cast your vote. I have fixed that now and the poll is up and running. Because of my delay I have extended voting to go through July 3. Sorry about that.

August Book Selections
It's that time again. Time to vote for your book choice for the month of August. Voting will go until June 30th.
In Paradise, nothing is what it seems...
THE FORGOTTEN
Army Special Agent John Puller is the best there is. A combat veteran, Puller is the man the U.S. Army relies on to investigate the toughest crimes facing the nation. Now he has a new case-but this time, the crime is personal: His aunt has been found dead in Paradise, Florida.
A picture-perfect town on Florida's Gulf Coast, Paradise thrives on the wealthy tourists and retirees drawn to its gorgeous weather and beaches. The local police have ruled his aunt's death an unfortunate, tragic accident. But just before she died, she mailed a letter to Puller's father, telling him that beneath its beautiful veneer, Paradise is not all it seems to be.
What Puller finds convinces him that his aunt's death was no accident . . . and that the palm trees and sandy beaches of Paradise may hide a conspiracy so shocking that some will go to unthinkable lengths to make sure the truth is never revealed.
Is there really such thing as a lucky charm? The hero of Nicholas Sparks's new novel believes he's found one in the form of a photograph of a smiling woman he's never met, but who he comes to believe holds the key to his destiny. The chain of events that leads to him possessing the photograph and finding the woman pictured in it is the stuff of love stories only a master such as Sparks can write.

July's Book
July's book is Crossed by Ally Condie. I did just want to say something about The Paris Wife though. I voted for Crossed but only because I had already ready The Paris Wife. I really enjoyed The Paris Wife and if any of you have the opportunity to read it, I would recommend it. Even if it doesn't show up here again for a little while. Ok, that being said, I wanted to put it out there again that if you have any suggestions or ideas for books please be sure to leave them in the comments so I can add them to the list from which I randomly select our choices for voting. We haven't added any new ones lately and I'd love to keep adding new, fun ideas.
Choices and voting for our August book selection will be up around June 23rd so be sure to check back.
