.
Instead of your moderators coming up with three "themes" for the group to vote on ... we invite YOU to nominate a theme for May. Could be a specific genre, a cover image, a title word, an author initial...

ONE nomination per member
To encourage participation the person who nominated LAST month's winning theme cannot nominate this month. So, Book Concierge, you won't be able to submit a nomination (though you WILL be able to vote).

Deadline: 25May16 (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
Summer related cover (beach scene, a picnic ...etc) - Koren
Features a Summer Olympic event on cover or in story - Carol
Main Character is a Father - Marti
June 14 Flag Day - Flag on cover - Patty

National Adopt a Cat Month - Cat on cover or in story - Jaret

Koren  (koren56) | 756 comments Something that denotes summer on the cover (such as a beach ball, people in swimming suits, etc) -or- a book that mainly takes place in the summer.


message 3: by Carol (new)

Carol | 4335 comments Since the summer is the time for the Olympics how about a book that features one of the Olympic events, either on the cover or in the story line. Here is a link for all the games featured.

ONE theme per person ... so I'm taking your first suggestion. If you'd rather have the second, let me know and I'll switch it.

Marti (coloreader) Well, we should be fair and have a theme for fathers since we did mothers!


message 6: by Patty (new)

Patty | 247 comments Since June 14th is flag day. How about a cover that has flag on it.


message 7: by Jaret (new)

Jaret | 209 comments June is National Adopt a Cat month. How about a book with a cat in the book or on the cover.

The voting was really close, but we have a WINNER ---

National Adopt a Cat Month - Cat on cover or in story (nominated by Jaret)

The winning theme had 7 votes ... the next two runners-up (Main character is a father -and- Summer-related cover) were tied with 6 votes each!
