Something that really bothers me and needs to be dealt with is mistakes. By mistakes, I mean when a book is nominated and it does not fit the category for that month and when someone realizes it, it's not deat with and removed. This incorrect book can even get three nods and then get voted on and even win. That makes me want to almost drop the book club.

When a book is discovered not to belong to that month's category, it needs to be dropped from the nominations as soon as it's discovered. This needs to happen starting in February 2018. The reason for leaving it being that the voting will sort it out doesn't work. That mistake in the voting means that the results aren't actually valid even if that book doesn't win.

Actually, anytime there's an issue, deal with it instead of giving the excuse that the voting will sort it out.
