March Nomination

[Litsplaining]

This month's nominations didn't go as planned since I wasn't able to open the polls in enough time before the first, but that's okay. If you'd like to nominate a book, the usual rules apply:

1) In order to option a book, insert the title and author here in the discussion. One book per person can be offered up, please.

2) In order for the book to be considered, it MUST be seconded by another member of the group. A given member may second a particular book ONCE. If you optioned a book, obviously you cannot second it. FROM NOW ON, we can only allow for EVERY BOOK MEMBER a TOTAL of THREE secondeds. We want all our members to take part but we also want all book options to have a fighting chance and allow for the greatest amount of diversity!

3) The five books with the greatest number of "seconds" get to move onto a poll that I'll create in due time.

4) At that poll, people will vote for which book they want to read.

5) And, of course, the book with the greatest number of votes wins.

This first poll will be open until Wednesday, March 4 at 5 PM CST/6 PM EST.
