JsKindle3,

I'm not sure how "subscribed" threads work; maybe someone else can help you there.

The two clubs are "general interest" and "literary".

The general interest club has the prefix "MobileRead" at the beginning of each thread title and that club picks a book each month based on a genre, such as "romance" or "science fiction" or "mystery". It uses a wide variety of genres and the category list for each month is already set. Fitzgerald was chosen for this club's February selection where the genre was "romance". The discussion for it will start on February 20th, as will nominations for March's book.

The literary club has the prefix "Literary" at the beginning of each thread title and that club picks a book each month that is considered "literary", basically a well-regarded work such as classics or prize-winners but can be a wide variety of things. This thread we're in right now is basically a general club-mechanics discussion thread for the literary club. Each month's category is based on some type of literature and the category list for each month is already set. Whitman was chosen for this club's January selection where the category was "poetry". The discussion for it started on February 1st and nominations for February's selection are going on now, where the category is "time period" and the one chosen is 1981-2000, so nominated books for this month are all written between 1981-2000.

Hope that helps, and welcome to the clubs!
