October 2013's *Category* Nominations
The October 2013 category selection will be similar to 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 except in case of a tie. If a second poll also results in a tie, I'll cast my vote as the tie-breaker.
* This thread will be open for 5 days or 30 fully seconded and thirded nominations, whichever comes first. * The poll will be up for 4 days. * Three votes or nominations per member. The story thus far: Quote:

Well, we're down to three months left, and I'm rooting for the last three categories being Young Adult, Modern Lit and Biography/Memoir. Since Young Adult is already fully nominated, I'll nominate
Modern Lit Biography/Memoir and second Philosophy since if one of those others doesn't make it to a month, Philosophy would be my next choice (but there's a lot of categories I like and wouldn't mind...these are just my "top contenders" now that we're down to the wire). |

Because it's October, I'll nominate Horror.
I'll second MobileRead Authors. People have already done a job on Philosophy which is my next choice, so I'll let my third nomination hang for the moment. |
