To see which books are nominated or if you prefer to vote in-thread, check out the Nominations Thread. I have also listed the nominations below.

Please vote by OCTOBER 31st: At the end of the voting period the top two or three vote-getters will be the BOTMs. If we need to break a tie, we will use number of first place votes, or if that doesn't work, number of second place votes as a tie-breaker. If we need another tie-breaker, we will discuss in thread and add to rules in future.

Happy voting!!

Hello all!

The voting form for the 2023 themes is available here:

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FA...

Please vote by Nov. 25

Since the nomination time for January is coming up too soon, we will be using the "overlooked heroine" theme for January. This is one that was a popular option when narrowing the themes last year and was not one we did in the last year.

I will post this in multiple threads so it catches more members.

Ohh, thanks, but I have to say, I've been away for 2 or 3 months, and now I've returned to help Susan and Joanna: I will try to be more present!!
