Thanks for volunteering BelleZora! Your selections look very interesting and I love the Native American Indian theme. I would rather we had waited until the first to have the list posted but I understand the dilemma you had and think it was very nice of you to volunteer even though you'll be away these next few days.
The nominations BelleZora posted are the definitive group for February and we'll let them sit a few days until the first, when I'll post the poll for them (to keep on schedule so that any member who might not check for a poll until after the first won't miss it).

If I have missed any please inform me. There appear to be a number of people who regularly participate in some way—nominating, voting, or discussing—that do not appear on the above list. |
Just to be clear, though you may already know it - the list was basically "restarted" (actually more like simply started) with the rotating months and any past lottery wins aren't included. So at the moment, a list would look more like this:
sun surfer August 2013
Bookpossum October 2013
fantasyfan December 2013
BelleZora February 2014
As such, fantasyfan had won a lottery month in 2012 I believe but was free to volunteer anytime he wanted in the rotating months, as he did in December. So you and issybird (and beppe, wherever under the sun beppe may be) can volunteer anytime you wish. I understand issybird's desire to wait until more people go who've never won a lottery month and who haven't volunteered for a rotating month yet, or who haven't even had a regular book nomination win a month yet, and think it's very gracious, though I'd be happy whenever issybird or you or any member volunteers since as long as we all eventually do it's all the same in the end no matter the order. I'll also add that anytime there's a request for a volunteer and more than a few days pass without a taker, I'd encourage any member big or small who hasn't volunteered for a rotating month yet that's considering it to go ahead and do so if they wish.
