We Read Stuff discussion

Nomination and voting schedule will go as follows:

-Nominations are open once the thread is posted until the 15th of the preceding month for the next month's book.

-The 15th thru 25th voting will occur by poll. The two books with the most votes will be the books of the month

-You may nominate one book AND second one book

-You do not have to nominate anything before seconding a book. If you choose to only use your second-ing vote that is perfectly fine.

-The 10 books with the most seconds will go to the poll if we get more than 10 nominations.

-Main page genre must be the theme or you must give a reason or explanation subject to moderator approval.

- Past books of the month cannot be nominated, we do have scheduled group rereads.

- Graphic novels are allowed and there are no minimum page counts. Sequential Art (Graphic Novels/Manga/Comics) will be it's own seperate thing going forward. The nomination rules and schedule for them will be the same as for books.

- Books must be first in a series or a stand alone unless the group has already read the book in the series that came before the one being nominated.

- Authors may nominate their own books but only if it fits the genre of the month

December's book is a special case. There will be no nomination thread, instead each third place book from all the polls that year will go into December's poll which will run for all of November. This way they get one last shot in making it as a book of the month. We still read the top two books from this poll as normal.

*If you have any questions about the nomination or voting process fee free to ask in this thread.

Updated slightly with clarifications

How does one vote?

After nominations close I make a poll with the nominees and you vote in the poll :)

updated for Sequential Art nominations

Are we doing book selections for next month? I didn’t see a thread for nominations but I might have just missed it.

D - yes we are. Sorry for being late setting up the thread. Nikki has had internet issues lately and I am still learning all the timelines. I’ll head over and make the thread right now.

It’s cool, life happens.

It’s probably somewhere obvious and I just missed it but which books are we reading this month?

D - I forgot to set up the discussion threads! I'll do that now :) We are reading Huntress, Stray City, Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic and Through the Woods

Thanks, I will download those. I want all of my downloading done before the power goes out.

Are we not doing GN every month this year?

I wasn't sure. There hasn't been very many nominations lately. We'r haven't even had to have a poll in a while. I was thinking maybe in 2020 going to choosing a series and working through it instead of different genres each month. What do you think?

Or perhaps spending the first six months reading the first books of different series, and then having a poll which series people want to read all the way through?
