Can you be a little more specific in what you are looking at as far as Non-Fiction? That would be helpful for members when they nominate books.

To be honest there's not much I'd not be willing to give a try but we can start with biographies or espionage if th frist's still to broad :-D

We're going to have a selection pool of group read themes that you suggest and we cycle through every six months.
This is the fifth cycle.
*You can add your suggestion to the list, and/or if you really like a suggested theme, feel free to second it.
*We're not going to vote on these unless I get plenty of feedback that several readers don't want/like this process and want to go back to the old way of doing things.
*I can use the themes in order until we run out, and we'll start over again with a new pool.
Some general guidelines:
1. We will take six group themes and one alternate for each cycle. The alternate is kind of a wild card/extra just in case. It will go at the top of the list for the next cycle.
2. The themes need to be distinctive from each other. As much as possible, avoid extremely general themes. I'm going to suggest we don't pick a theme that is limited to one specific authors' books.
3. One suggestion per member per cycle (a cycle is seven months)
4. If your suggestion is not straightforward, I will ask for clarification and narrowing down. If you aren't able to do so, I will have to table the suggestion until it's clear enough for others to understand/be able to generate book choices to vote for.
5. For some reason, if we don't have seven, I will give members about a month to make a sixth and seventh suggestion and then I will close the cycle and we will just go through what we have.
6. If we get more than seven suggestions (and each one has been posted by a separate member) before the cycle closes, I'll add it to the new/next cycle.
7. The last two months before the end of the cycle, I will open up a new suggestion list to accumulate new themes.
8. We will still vote on the books as usual.
Cycle Five Suggestions:
1. September 2022: Alternative History/Time Slips
2. October 2022: Ocean/Marine Setting
3. November 2022: Non-Fiction Biography
4. December 2022 Genetic Engineering/Manipulation
5. January 2023 Genre Mashup
6. February 2023 Espionage
