2016 MobileRead Book Club CATEGORY Nominations
In 2016, we will have two fixed categories: January's Second Chance (a second chance for all the losing books of 2014) and July's Free-For-All in which any book in any genre may be nominated. Help us select the remaining 10 categories that the MobileRead Book Club will use in 2016.
The nominations will run through Monday night at midnight EST August 17 or until 30 categories have been fully nominated. The poll will then be posted and will remain open for one week.
• For this special nomination session, each member will have 6 votes which you can use to nominate categories or second or third the categories others have nominated.
• In order for a category to be included in the poll it needs THREE NOMINATIONS (original nomination, a second and a third).
• All members of MobileRead are welcome to participate, even if they have not participated in the book club in the past.
