February's *Category* Nominations
We'll do this just the way we do the Book Club nominations, except to expedite matters, we'll only have one vote for each month's category rather than having a first vote followed by a run-off vote. It's kind of unnecessary, since losing categories can always be considered for the following month.

* 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.

* Three votes or nominations per member.

GO!

For reference and comparison purposes ony, 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
April — Humour
May — Fantasy
June — Classic
July — Mystery/Crime
August — FreeForAll
September — NonFiction
October — Horror
November — Science Fiction
December — Classic


Fully Nominated categories:

(1) Modern Lit

(2) Romance

(3) Classics

(4) Young Adult

(5) Adventure/Travel

(6) Free-for-all

(7) Major Award Winners

I'm nominating Free-for-all.

Free-for-all is where any book regardless of category can be picked.

21 category nominations? Yikes!

I will second classics. I will nominate major award winners. I will second young adult.

We could use some 2nding/3rding of free-for-all. Then we can nominate any books we want.

I don't really expect we'll get to 21 in 7 days. I just didn't want to put a too-low limit on the number of nominations.

I'll third Young Adult and Adventure/Travel, and second Free for All-which uses up my three votes.
