Help us select what the MR Literary Club will read in June 2018!

This is a special Region month in that it is the final one in its cycle. There will be no vote to determine a region first, and all remaining eligible regions will be available to nominate from. As there are five regions left, each person may nominate up to FIVE selections; however, each nomination from any one person should be from a different region.

The category for this month is:

Region
Ireland & The U.K., Japan, The South Pacific, Southeast Europe, and Sub Saharan Africa

Nominations can be set in any region, but they should be written by an author from that region.

Detailed nominating and voting guidelines can be found here. Simply put, nominations are open for four days and each person may nominate up to five literary selections which will go automatically to the vote. Voting then opens for four days and each person votes by post, receives a number of votes equal to the number of nominations minus one and may give each nomination up to two votes. Any questions, feel free to ask.

We hope that you will read the selection with the club and join in the discussion.

Spoiler:

The floor is now open!
