Are y'all ok if I define "front list"? I don't think people taking the poll without reading the discussion would be familiar with the term.

Wording it as such for approval:
2 Weeks: The most recently published book by an author and a book from that same author's backlist

Charlsa (cjbookjunkie) | 608 comments Yes. I am fine with front list wording.

Charlsa (cjbookjunkie) | 608 comments Apologies. I’m trying to say that I’m fine if you need to re-word it a little bit. I am at a housewarming party and trying to do this from my phone with a bunch of background noise distracting me.

NancyJ (nancyjjj) | 3641 comments Whew I made it back in time!

Three books: one in each quadrant of the world excluding North America.
Read one book in the N+E hemispheres (Asia, Europe, Northern Africa)
Read one book in the S+ E Hemispheres (Oceania, Southern Africa)
Read one book in the S+W hemispheres (South America)

I excluded North American because we will all read them anyway.
Members may choose to exclude their own countries.
Technically, parts of the UK and Africa are in the Western hemisphere, but you may consider them in the NE quadrant if you wish.
Oceania includes Australia, New Zealand, and many islands.
