So this time yall we are doing a contemporary read! I try to switch it up so all can enjoy. Per usual there are 5 options. you only have one vote so choose carefully! I have given a good variety but if these arnt for you we will see you on the next one.

Each book has a description below and a picture attached. if you are sensitive to triggers or material I encourage you to do a deeper dive looking into your choice but what I give should be enough for most folks to choose.

I will save my vote till the end in case a tie breaker is needed.

This pole will be up for one week so please make your vote ASAP so we can start immediately.

After yall choose I will immedietly make the topics for the read available. These include: General Discussion/Chat, Important Posts - Questions and Announcments, Question Answers, Quotes, and several Activity topics. If you have questions or need help please reach out to me at any time.

In a shameless effort to sway votes, I believe Beautiful Disaster should be our next read for the reasons listed below:

1 - It is a perfect fit tone-wise for NNC. Obviously it's a novel and no doubt it's naughty lol 😜

2 - Who doesn't love a bad boy willing to make a scandalous bet? 😏

3 - It's been on my TBR for years. 😭

Please consider these reasons when you cast your vote 😆
