If we do use Tom's idea of each of us nominating a list to vote on, I've come up with a preliminary list thinking about what everyone wants:
January - Second Chance
February - Romance
March - Modern Science Fiction
April - Mystery
May - Modern Nonfiction
June - Adventure Fiction
July - Free For All
August - Modern Young Adult
September - Fantasy
October - Modern Thriller
November - Classic
December - Short
Any category with "modern" would be limited to a certain time period - I'm thinking maybe 35 years which would basically give us from the '80s on, but I'd like to hear what others think on that length of time. I chose categories to add modern to that would seem to most lend themselves to newer books, and if anyone wants to nominate an older book in any of those categories, they'd be free to in July's Free For All month. This would ensure we have at least a third of the year without any older, classic or public domain nominations for the most part.
