Book Selections

We stopped using Survey Monkey in our process of selecting books because Survey Monkey recategorized  ranked voting as a premium (no longer free) feature. We used Google Forms for our last book selection.

Monthly
On 5/7/21 we discussed Leviathan Wakes by James S. A. Corey. We had 12 attendees, 8 of them being the usual suspects. The book was received mostly well. The highest ranking, 5/5 stars. The lowest ranking, 2.66/5 stars. The mean ranking, 4/5 stars.
