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:
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
  • May: Mystery/Thriller
  • June: Award Winners
  • July: Non-Fiction
  • August: Science Fiction
  • September: Banned or Challenged Books
The 2012 Categories (for reference purposes):

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

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).

I'll give you Young Adult and Modern Lit but I want Free-for-All.

So let's get Free-for-All to win and we can focus on the other two.

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.
