We'll go with alternating. After the first month trying hidden, all the posts in this club seemed like they may be in favour of one way, so if everyone had wanted one way now we would've gone that way. But since there are people here who like each way, we'll do the simple compromise.
Also, I know that for the other club, all the discussion about possible changes this month has left people tired. That's fine, though I consider that separate from us. Since the other club will be waiting until next December to discuss club mechanics again, I thought it'd be better if we discussed things for our club at a different time. Since we started in the summer in the northern hemisphere/winter in the southern hemisphere and will reach our anniversary then, that seems like a good time to have any discussions about our club. There is no "moratorium" on changes in this club though unlike the other one, since it's so new and we're still feeling our way around, but I expect not to make many or any other changes before around June unless it seems really necessary.
Thanks everyone for taking part in the literary book club during its first six months, and here's to a great 2012 for us!
