SouthWestZippy's suggestion was the clear winner ...
New Year - Read a book by a new-to-you author.
Perhaps there's a holiday (major or obscure) you want to celebrate? Maybe you want to focus on a specific genre or tag? Want to look for cover image or color? Focus on the author's initials?
There is NO requirement that the theme match the month or season. Whatever "theme" you can come up with is fair game.
BE SURE to include the task requirement for your theme:
Examples:
Author, Author!: Read a book whose author's first and last initials are in "Author, Author"
It's Fall!: Read a book with the word "fall" in the title or subtitle
Read a book with BLUE cover.
ONE nomination per member
To encourage participation from more members, the person who nominated LAST month's winning theme cannot nominate this month. So, Book Concierge, you will *not* be able to submit a nomination (though you WILL be able to vote).
DEADLINE - 23 December 2024 5p CDT, or 5 nominations (whichever comes first)
Once the nominations are closed, we'll set up a poll for membership to vote on the theme for next month.
Nominated themes:
* First Month of the Year - Read a book by an author whose LAST name begins with a letter in FIRST. (Carol)* Music, Music, Music - Read a book, fiction or nonfiction, where main character is a musician. (Koren)
