Yes, IF we went this route, there would have to be some lead time, as in "Next month the category will be books about vampire mummies from outer space. The nominations will begin in two weeks."

It's always been difficult to find the perfect balance. Some complain that we have too long now between the vote and the discussion and that by the time the discussion rolls around that the book has grown stale in their minds. My counter argument has always been that some members need the extra time and if the faster readers are worried about forgetting details in the book why not just wait until a few days before the discussion to read it?
