Apologies to those trying to make everything more legibile, but right now it’s just visually disturbing to me.

I suggest losing the colours. Make one sticky thread for each club. That thread should be formatted to have links to the most recent/current vote and discussion at the top and then list the rest of the selections in the rest of the first post. Discussion about each club can be ongoing in those sticky threads. No other threads need to be stickied outside of maybe the opinions and suggestion thread.

The second thing I would suggest is a naming convention that makes it easy to spot things. Lose Mobile Read in all the titles. Avoid writing Vote, it’s already a poll. Something like this might be cleaner.
Regular Book Club – February 2012 (romance)
Literary Book Club – February 2012 (time period)
(poll) Regular Book Club – February 2012 (romance)
(poll) Regular Book Club – February Run-Off 2012 (romance)
Regular Book Club – Black Rain (Ibuse)
Literary Book Club – Leaves of Grass (Whitman)

I think the fact that votes are polls will makes it obvious enough without getting too wordy.

As far as the historical summary threads. Something like what follows. Make the title/author the link to the discussion and have a link to the vote and run-off vote after it.

Regular Book Club

2012-01 (second-place) – Black Rain, Masuji Ibuse
2011-12 (classic) – A Chirstmas Carol, Charles Dickens [vote] [run-off vote]
