ANNOUNCING the theme for August 2024

[Book Concierge]

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?

There is NO requirement that the theme match the month or season. 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, Koren, you will *not* be able to submit a nomination (though you WILL be able to vote).


DEADLINE - 25 July 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:

Have fun!

So ... no nominations from the members this month.

I'll come up with some options and post a poll in the next little while.

Tessa - I'm confused. There are 6 of us that have voted for a theme for August... Am I delusional? I mean more so than usual:)

[Book Concierge]

You're not delusional, Carol.

No members NOMINATED a theme. I came up with the possibilities for the poll myself.

Glad people are finding something to vote for in the poll!

Glad I'm at least 50% sane. I honestly forgot that it was almost August. I promise to do better in September:)

[Book Concierge]

The Poll results were significant:


Alfred Hitchcock's Birthday: Read a book with a main page genre of HORROR, THRILLER or SUSPENSE /or/ a book that has been made into a movie.

CJ ... we do this every month. And the August selection is already set. I'll be opening a new thread by early next week, inviting submissions for a theme for September. I hope you nominate something!
