BOTM Guideline Poll Results

[Jim]

The votes have been calculated and you have decided the guidelines for participation in the book of the month group reads.

Question 1: It has been determined that voting will remain anonymous/private.

Question 2: It has been voted that nominated books must be available in both print and ebook versions to provide the reader the option.

Question 3: It has been voted to have no requirement for the minimum number of pages in a book.

Question 4: It has been voted that authors are not allowed to self-nominate their own works.

The voting was very close usually being a difference of only one or two votes. To account for the near even split, I propose voting for occasional theme months such as self-nominate month, short story month, "indie" title month, etc to help spice things up. Themes can be suggested and then determined by group vote. Otherwise, the 4 above issues combined with nominator must moderate the discussion will hold.

I had hoped for different results, but since it was so close I'll take comfort in that knowledge.

I hope that these "rules" increase BOTM participation, but highly doubt a single thing will be different.

Thank you for posting the polls.
