However, I think in the new club, going forward, this should be less of an issue, even for you. I would suggest that choosing to go with themes, rather than specific genres, we should avoid any real issue.

If the topic is science fiction and someone nominates a fantasy book, that fantasy book should be not allowed because it's not science fiction. If this fantasy book is allowed, it spoils the science fiction month. So allowing the fantasy book to remain can cause incorrect results even if it doesn't get to the vote as it takes away nominations from anyone who nominates it.
So yes, books no on topic should be removed as soon as possible.
