Both the nominating thread and the discussion thread have the word "February" in them. The theme, Rainbow Reading, is listed against February in the list on post #2 of the info thread. So it's clear that Passing is February's book.
I must say that I am grateful that the discussion thread is locked until the middle of the month itself. I participated in an online SciFi and Fantasy book club where they would announce the next book near the end of the previous month and you would get fast readers finishing it and starting discussions before the month started. Worse, nearly everyone was a faster reader than me and so by the time I'd finished the book they would have already made all the points they wanted to and moved on. In some cases they would have started the book after that.
Which, as an aside, is also why I've been enjoying the fact we've had shorter books so far. Not that I wouldn't enjoy longer ones too, but in that case I would probably try to start after the nominations to get a head start. My library doesn't have a very large collection of ebooks in any case.
