I like the idea, especially for close votes--if six choices got 13, 12, 8, 5, 3, and 3 votes, giving the month to the one that got 13 means an awful lot of people who voted against the month's choice. This could be why club participation isn't as active as it could be--if the winner is not most people's second choice, it doesn't get much conversation.
A tiered vote does cut into reading/discussing time, but it also would allow the final vote to be 18/26, with the majority going to the one that originally got only 12 votes. And it means that voters would at least have thought about the one that wins, rather than voting only for their favorite, noticing it didn't win, and ignoring the rest of the process. A 2-tier vote is an opportunity to get more people interested in those two books.
