Is there a December theme read? I can't find the poll or discussion

We're going back to just one nomination thread and the two top books in the poll will be our monthly reads. We can always reconsider it again if people really miss it.
@Kristie I'm wondering if it's possible to add a monthly nomination specifically for Classic/Backlist reads? As it seems most nominations are usually for newer releases. Just an idea of One Newer Release and One Classic/Backlist selection each month.?
That is a good idea, Jojo. It is definitely something to consider.
Thanks, Kristie. That sounds good to me i just wanted to check. Jojo, I'd be interested in some classic reads. Maybe more in the group can agree and we can do it? Maybe quarterly would appeal to more people?
You could also set up a buddy read in the buddy read area, if you wanted to pick something and start whenever you're ready and maybe more people would join you.
I thought it would be nice to get nominations/voting for classics as well, since others might have recommendations for classics that they would like to read.

Additional tips -
Please use a book link, if possible. If it's not possible, please include the author's name. I want to make sure I include the correct books! You can add a synopsis from the books Goodread's page, if you like, but it is not necessary.
Directions to add a book link:
This can only be done when online and not when using an app.
When typing in the text box, on top of the box there is a link that says "add book/author". Click on that and a new box will appear. Type your book name in the space provided and click on "search". When you see your book, click the "add" button to the right of it.
To add a link that just has the book name, you can click "link" at the bottom of the "add book/author" box. The link is the automatic setting. To add a book cover, click on "cover" at the bottom left.
