Pick the next theme.

[Art, Stay home, stay safe.]

For April I welcome all our members to browse or bookshelves and nominate a shelf for us to read off. With a few exceptions, such as series and miniseries, the themes recently featured and birthday shelves, you can nominate any one of them. Two top picks will become our April themes.

Those who have spare 2 x Group Points feel free to use those to lock your nomination for one of the themes. However if that theme is "Extremely Long Read" then we will have a single theme for the month. The same will apply if the "ELR" theme wins in the upcoming polls.

Looking at the spreadsheet, I notice I have read very few books from the 1990's. This isn't all that surprising: during the mid-90's I was in high school and tried to "act adult": for me that meant reading classic literature (Dostoevski, Kafka, Mann &c) instead of SF. And then I started my studies, and had very little time for casual reading. And then it was the 00's already.

So: I'll pick the shelf "1990s" and use the 2GP's to lock that.

The 1990's are also my least-read decade and more specifically the 1995-1999 lustrum, so I'm happy with that!

How about women-writers as a theme?

That was our theme for March, two books written by women authors.
We will probably go with something else in April.

Antti has locked one of the themes of the month.
1990 is one of the themes, the other theme will be determined by the poll.

never mind

I'd like to nominate the "fantasy" bookshelf, it's been a while since we read any.

[Antti]

Since there is only one nomination plus one locked bookshelf, does that mean that our April bookshelves are "1990s" and "Fantasy"?

[Kalin]

I'd like to throw "extremely short reads" (back) into the ring.

Sounds great Kalin.
