Last week's F winner was the Tiptree, but commenters were unaminous that it is the wrong Tiptree to start with, so now I'm undecided whether to let than win or to fallback to second place ("Empire of Bones"). There was also a tie for K, and I broke it in favor of the one with the less boring title, so Castaways of Tanagar goes away.

Also, I missed that the last poll was the one-year anniversary of FMK! Folks, I have been doing this since last February, and with that in mind, it's not that bad that I only have 18 still in the backlog to read. Right? Right. (It also means that if I'd managed a poll a week, as originally planned, we would now be done! Instead there are about three months' worth left. Oops.)

(I am considering what to do if I finish this. Options include: stop already; start over again with the Ms; poll one section of the Dewey Decimal System a week in my 1200 NF unreads; or read & review all my unread comics, which would probably not require voting because there's only a couple hundred of them and they read fast.)

Anyway, since I finally finished the cat mysteries books, it's time for Mysteries 2: History Mysteries!

How FMK works, short version: I am trying to clear out my unreads. So there is a poll, in which you get to pick F, M, or K. F means I should spend a night of wild passion with the book ASAP, and then decide whether to keep it or not. M means I should continue to commit to a long-term relationship of sharing my bedroom with it. K means it should go away immediately. Anyone can vote, you don't have to actually know anything about the books.

I pick a winner on Friday night (although won't actually close the poll, people can still vote,) and report results/post the new poll on the following Tuesday, and write a response to the F winner sometime in the next week.
