We invite YOU to nominate a theme for next month.

Perhaps there's a holiday (major or obscure) you want to celebrate? Maybe you want to focus on a specific genre or tag? Want to look for cover image or color? Focus on the author's initials? Whatever "theme" you can come up with is fair game.

BE SURE to include the task requirement for your theme:
Examples:
Author, Author!: Read a book whose author's first and last initials are in "Author, Author"
Summer Vacay!: Read a book you consider a "vacation read"
Read a book with "COZY MYSTERY" as a genre


ONE nomination per member


To encourage participation from more members, the person who nominated LAST month's winning theme cannot nominate this month. So, Book Concierge, you will *not* be able to submit a nomination (though you WILL be able to vote).


DEADLINE - 24 February 2024 5p CDT, or 5 nominations (whichever comes first)

Once the nominations are closed, we'll set up a poll for membership to vote on the theme for next month.

Nominated themes:
* Saint Patrick's Day - A Book set in Ireland (Licha-Olivia)
* Happy Saint Paddy's Day - Book by an author whose first and last initials are in LUCK OF THE IRISH (Carol).
* Wearin' o' the Green - Word GREEN in title or author's name. Can be embedded as in greenery or Greenwood. (Beverly)

* International Women's Day - A book with a woman (or women) on the cover (Koren)
*

Carol | 4336 comments A book that the author's first name and last name initials can be found in LUCK OF THE IRISH.


message 4: by Beverly (new)

Beverly (zippymom) | 385 comments A book with the word green is in the title of the book or a part of the author's name (i.e. greenery in the title would be acceptable as would Greenwood as an author)

Koren  (koren56) | 756 comments March 8 is International Women's Day. Read a book with a woman or women on the cover.

Will a little girl on the cover count?

Koren ... since you were the person who suggested this task ... what do you say about a female child on the cover?

I would say because it is 'women's' history month a child would not work. I wouldn't think a book with a grown woman would be hard to find.

Thanks for the quick response.

SouthWestZippy | 295 comments Nope, not hard at all to find a woman on a book cover.

About as easy finding woman who acts like child.
