Four way tie and no new votes seeming to come in. How to break the tie?


message 3: by Silvana (new)

Silvana (silvaubrey) Make a manual vote here in this thread where each participant can vote for two books instead of one?

Send a message to all members inviting them to vote, might encourage a few more to beak the tie.

I like this idea. Let me see if I can figure out how to do that.

OK. Message sent. Let's see if this breaks the tie.

LOL....just looked and I think the tie was technically already broken with one more vote. I 'just' sent the message so I don't think that's the reason.

Either way, maybe it will inspire more voting. :)

I hope so, many people just don't remember to vote. A little reminder is all it takes sometimes.

I think the group email blast worked!! There are definitely one or two that are running away from the others.


message 10: by Silvana (new)

Silvana (silvaubrey) Looking good! Seeing my vote, as usual, won't win, I might change it for one of the frontrunners...

Ha! I see City of Stairs and Magician: Apprentice are now tied at 10 votes each.

Should we start another poll with those two?

We should be stopping, within a few days, to give people a day or two to purchase if need be.

Maybe we should stop the poll now and start a new one with those two books.

Thoughts?

I would just leave it till the time runs out, you never know it might resolve itself. If not then just a quick poll to choose between the winners at the end of the month.

The poll has ended. Magician is the winner.

Re-reading Magician/Master has been on my list for a long while with the intention of continuing the series.

Yay! I'll be joining in.

Heck I'll even do this book :)


message 18: by Mel (new)

Mel | 88 comments It's been a long while since I read that series. I think I will join this time. I even ordered a real book to replace my Greek paperback, which is something I rarely do nowadays..

As I've said for years, it is my favorite "rags to riches" story I've ever read, I think.

Silvana (silvaubrey) Cool. It's been a long a time since my last old school fantasy. I read the sample from kindle store and was hooked.
