With the categories now chosen by the nomination thread and with the new year starting very soon, it's time to post the category list for the year:
July- Open
August- Rotating (Spinnenmonat)
September- Biographies & Memoirs
October- Rotating (Bookworm_Girl)
November- Time Period
December- Rotating (sun surfer)
January- Youth Fiction
February- Region
March- Non-Fiction
April- Region
May- Time Period Finale
June- Region Finale
It was a pretty straightforward affair to slot. After the three Rotating, the single categories were given the same months they had in recent years and the one new incoming category was given the one outgoing category's month. Time Period was given its usual month and the one half a year away from that, and the three Region the three vacant Rotating. While that may seem close it should be noted that there will be an almost year and a half break (November 2015 to February 2017) between our last Region and the next and each will consist of a different focus.
This means we will start our new year off with Open for July. So, does all of this look good? I'm looking forward to our next year of enlightening reads and discussions.
