Category Selection Nominations for May 2013

The May 2013 category selection will be the same as the other category selections we have done so far for 2013. We'll have one poll after all nominations are in; there will be no run-off poll. In case of a tie, I'll cast my vote as the tie-breaker.

* This thread will be open for 7 days or 21 fully seconded and thirded nominations (we don't want a poll that's too large), whichever comes first.

* The poll will be up for 4 days.

* Each member has three votes in this thread to use either as nominations or to second or third another members nominations.

The story thus far:

Quote:
The 2013 MobileRead Book Club Monthly Categories
  • January: Second Chance No nominations this month. The polls will be comprised of selections that either came in second place or tied for second place during the previous 11 months.
  • February Romance
  • March Travel/Adventure
  • April Classics
For reference and comparison purposes only, here are the 2012 Categories:
Spoiler:
January — RunnerUp (no nominations, a vote of all the runners-up nominations from the last 11 months)
February — Romance
March — Thriller/Suspense
May — Humour
May — Fantasy
June — Classic
July — Mystery/Crime
August — FreeForAll
September — NonFiction
October — Horror
November — Science Fiction
December — Classic


Nyssa has kindly volunteered to help out with the nominations (post #2). Thanks, Nyssa!

Nyssa, thanks heaps for helping out with the nominations. With the moderators busy behind the scenes with the current Winter Murder Mystery contest, it sure helps out a lot.

BTW, I do hope everyone here is planning on sending those entries for a chance to win one of 10 great eReaders and other prizes.

Thats an interesting idea. Is there a list somewhere? We would need some way to identify them.
