Nominations for the December 2023 Revisit the Shelf book will open on October 1st, 2023.

1. Only books currently on our group bookshelf are eligible: Group Bookshelf

Time Since Last Read. A book is only eligible for rereading if it has not been a group read in the last 12 months (1 year). A book read by the group in any of our reading categories in the past year is not eligible for nomination.

Below is a list of the past year's Revisit the Bookshelf winners. Please do not nominate any of these:

2. When making a nomination, please use "add book/author" link to help moderators and others view the book selected.

3. Only seven books, by seven different authors will move forward to each poll. This will be determined by the number of seconds a book receives. The seven books with the most seconds move to the poll.

4. One nomination and one second per member will be allowed. A nomination can be changed only until it has been seconded. Once seconded, in fairness to the member making the second, the nomination will stand.

You may change a second from one book to another. Please state which book you originally seconded and which you would like to change to.
