[2026] Poll 4 Suggestions (Multiweek)

[Kathy]

I'll second the rock paper scissors prompts

[Rachael]

I’ll second Right/Wrong

[Emily, Conterminous Mod]

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]

Yes. I am fine with front list wording.

[Charlsa]

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.

[Emily, Conterminous Mod]

Haha all good!

1 spot remaining I do believe

[Pamela, Arciform Mod]

Come on guys-- I've gone and made a sandwich, so I'm fueled up for the last 3!

[NancyJ]

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.

I didn't vote so far this year and trying to recreate the lists for my own record keeping.

Looks like this one had only 14 selection. There is no number 10 ....

Book Concierge - don’t know how #10 is missing above, but if you look at the Poll 4 Voting thread you will see it there.
