I'm thinking of when we get through with the 2013 categories, proceeding straight to the 2014 categories before we take a break. Any objections?

Any thoughts on doing the book nominations a month ahead of time, next year? We could actually run the January poll and February nominations at the same time, since there will no nominations needed (provided we keep the "2nd chance" category - which I hope we do). |

It's up to you of course, but a lot can change in a year or even half a year. I'd prefer to wait so that we don't get too far ahead. After the December 2013 category poll, we could always just take a break for at least six months or so then start again for 2014 in the last few months of this year. Then we'll have had a chance to experience most of the categories for this year and know what we think of it all, and any new people joining us along the way will have a chance to have a say for 2014.

I didn't think we would be going through this category selection process every year. IMO, we don't need to do this every year. |

How about this then—when we get through with December, have an up or down vote on whether to keep the same categories for 2014 or vote on new ones. We could take a break for a couple of months in the mean time rather than jumping right in.

What about having the book nominating/voting a month early so we can have more time to get ready for the read? Quote:

But, it would give us more time for Overdrive wait lists, more time to gather together the money to buy the eBook and more time to read especially if it's a rather large book. This would mean that size as a reason to choose a given book would not come into play (one would think given the extra time available)
Also, if you read the thread I started, everyone posting there is in favor. |

In December, have nominations for the 12 categories for 2014, ie as many categories as people want to put up, and then we vote in the top 12. Well, it would actually be only 11 if we stay with the Runner-Up category in January. Doing that would save you work, and we would be clear for the year on the category we are going to have each month. That would also let us run the book nominations earlier to fit in with Jon's suggestion if others are in agreement. I can see merit in an earlier nomination process, especially where people might need to wait a while for a nominated book to become available in the library, for example. |
