I'm fine with this. I wonder though if it gives an unfair advantage to those that nominated more than one book.
Not picking on Austruck, just concerned.
I like this idea, and I'm happy to whittle my suggestions down to just one if that helps. I'd probably choose Cloud Cuckoo Land if I were allowed only one.

Thanks. I think that would be for the best.
I'd like to limit the ranking to top 5 choices regardless how many nominations there are.
Ok, so voting is now open. For this month we will use the following format:
PM me your top 5 choices ranked in order of preference. I will track the choices and once voting has closed I will reveal everyone's choices and announce the winner. We can always amend this process for next month if needed.
I'm not sure if disclosing my choices is okay (I assume so?), but I voted for one above the others because I've already read it and will therefore be able to guarantee my involvement in discussion if it wins.
I'm excited to read this. I'm gonna go grab a copy now! The other friend who ranked it as one of his top books of 2021 is someone whose book tastes I respect and admire.
Bought my copy. Decided that paperback at about $13 was better than the Kindle edition at nearly that much anyway. Arrives Saturday and I'll start right in then.
Got my kindle version earlier today and have started reading. I was hooked 10 pages in!
A friend of mine who loves this book suggested that I recommend getting a map of TX to anyone not familiar with the state. She says it will help to see where the action took place and visualize the size of the Comanche territory. I'm sure there's something online.
