I'll post at more length later as I'm rushed at work right now, but I wanted to second Bookpossum's excellent proposal and object somewhat to Paola's (sorry, Paola!). I think a reqirement to nominate before voting runs a real risk of undermining the premise of the club. As it is, when mostly only the regulars nominate, there's a good measure of quality control, so to speak. But just as the main club is registering complaints that it's lit club lite, a reqirement to nominate first here might result in a slate full of best-sellers! And they might be chosen!
