And the winners are....

Posted by Angela Muhs

Thanks to everyone who took the time to vote for March and April selections. We actually had a tie, so it's a good thing we were picking two months' worth of books.

The March selection will be "Any Bitter Thing" by Monica Wood. The book was a 2006 Reading Group Booksense pick, and a top 10 finalist for "Best Spiritual Book of the Year" at beliefnet.com.

You can read an excerpt at Wood's website.

The April book will be "The Girl who Loved Tom Gordon," by Stephen King. With baseball season starting on April 6, it seems like a good time to be reading a book with a Red Sox tie-in.

To give everyone a chance to get started, we'll start blogging on "Any Bitter Thing" on March 8.
