I'd prefer to drop one of the Classics months, especially as many of them overlap to other genres. Would also like Classic to be defined so we know what's eligible. Dickens/Shakespeare/Bronte: sure, no question. Poe? Probably. What about more obscure authors? (If I could name them off the top of my head, they wouldn't be obscure.) Or more recent authors--is Rand a "classic" author? Orwell?

Perhaps Fantasy could be moved to July, and swapped to put Biography/Autobiography in November. That's got a nice resonance for me; I can easily tie in the Thanksgiving holiday season with reading about real people's lives. That also moves Fantasy from being back-to-back with Horror, and avoids two months of closely related genres.

Could almost replace December's "Classics" with "holiday-themed" ebooks--for any holiday, not just winter ones. Or put it at "any free ebook" on the theory that December is hard enough on the pocketbook for a lot of us. (I'd define "free" as "available for free from the time the book is selected, through the month of December," if it mattered.)
