A week should be reasonable. I like having the books selected earlier. We all read quite a bit and sometimes we have stuff we want to finish first so knowing what the selection is a week sooner or even two weeks sooner would let me fit the book into my schedule better. With West with the Night I couldn't get the request from the library prior to my holiday so I still haven't read it and now we're in to voting for the next month. Pulling for Cannery Row because it is short and would be a re-read for me to refresh my memory.
Of course, all of this is just talking as we have entrusted the Grand Poobah to figure all this out. There might not even be any voting at all.
