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.

5. In the interest of variety, please wait a month to re-nominate a book that has been in the poll. Please do not nominate any of the books that were in our poll last month:

The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett
The House of Mirth by Edith Wharton
Pale Fire by Vladimir Nabokov
Twelve Years a Slave by Solomon Northup
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey
A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens


Nominations will remain open until the 14th of the month. Polls will open on the 16th and run until the end of the month.

We as moderators have decided to allow books to be re-read in the New School Category for 2025 to make it align with our Old School and Long Reads categories. With this change, we have decided to eliminate the Revist the Shelf Category, as we will now allow re-reads in all three of the categories.

Books that have already been featured as group reads and currently on our bookshelf are eligible to be nominated again after three years. (For this month, that means anything read before January 2022 can be nominated.)

Because of the change above, all nominations & seconds in the Revist so far are being moved to the correct category - either new or old school. This will not effect anyone who has already made a nomination in either new or old school

We are sorry we didn't make this change earlier, but just got our ducks in a row (well at least we found some ducks)
