I've been meaning to ask this anyway because I'm sure that a better handle on the tools available would enhance my enjoyment of MR in general.

You don't need to do any of that whenever you have your turn! I'll do all that. At a minimum, all you need to provide is a list of at least four book titles and authors. It would be nice to have an info blurb with them, but not necessary. Either way, I'll try to link each nomination to a Goodreads page with more info if there is one.
Even if you do provide blurbs, you don't have to format with spoilers. You can, but it's not necessary as I can format that when I set up the poll. But, fyi here is how you do spoilers:
Without spaces, type
[ spoiler ]
before what you want included, and then
[ /spoiler ]
after.
ETA - There is also a shortcut for spoilers in the post reply box. You highlight everything that you want to be in one spoiler, then you click on the icon of an eye covered by an X. It isn't available in Quick Reply though (when you reply at the bottom of a thread page).
