From Stonewall Award-winning author Brandy Colbert comes an all-in-one-day love story perfect for fans of The Sun is Also A Star. Marva Sheridan was born ready for this day. She's always been driven to make a difference in the world, and what better way than to vote in her first election? Duke Crenshaw is do done with this election. He just wants to get voting over with so he can prepare for his band's first paying gig tonight. Only problem? Duke can't vote. When Marva sees Duke turned away from their polling place, she takes it upon herself to make sure his vote is counted. She hasn't spent months doorbelling and registering voters just to see someone denied their right. And that's how their whirlwind day begins, rushing from precinct to precinct, cutting school, waiting in endless lines, turned away time and again, trying to do one simple thing: vote. They may have started out as strangers, but as Duke and Marva team up to beat a rigged system (and find Marva's missing cat), it's clear that there's more to their connection than a shared mission for democracy. Romantic and triumphant, The Voting Booth is proof that you can't sit around waiting for the world to change?but some things are just meant to be.

Happy Voting Day my dear American Littens! I wish you all good weather, fast moving voting lines, and hopeful results.

Here in Canada we voted in municipal elections last month (I voted online, this is an old picture, but the sentiment fits). Where I live the Mayor and 4 of 5 Town Councilors were decided by acclimation. So many people didn't get a chance to vote because only one person put their name forward for each spot. The apathy was sad.

TheKidUpstairs I live in the only Ward that actually has multiple candidates running (yay!), one of whom tried to bully me into putting his sign on my lawn "because he's such a great guy!" (Boo! Guess who I didn't vote for?) 2y
Prairiegirl_reading There was a very similar situation in Manitoba. 2y

I‘m fortunate my voting precinct is at my workplace, so not only did my daughter join me to vote after school but we also made a HEAVY donation to the food pantry 🔥☄️🧯🚒chip challenge drive! Of course we donated to all the other teams except mine! 😅😂

My daughter was enthused to see a live ballot because they covered ballots and voting in school today. 👏🏾👏🏾

Bookzombie Love this! 💕 2y

I am in for some romance these days and this was my first read of my list. This book is just a fantastic, cutesy kind of story which also teaches the importance of voting and how it affects the lives of so many many people. This is such an important topic and it being incorporated into a story like this made it feel real, like the characters could be us, anyone we know, real people who are passionate and headstrong and fall in love for it.
