I mentioned this in the nomination thread, but I thought I'd bring it over here where we could possibly chat about it. I'm really, really liking how the move to topics has worked out. Virtually every month there are multiple books I end up buying or getting from the library based on the nominations. Or simply the poking around I (and others) do to find interesting books to fit the topic. Genre based nominations virtually never had that effect. This month is a perfect example -- I was not looking forward to it. I hate war books in the conventional sense and didn't see this group being interested in any of the MilSF books I do sometimes enjoy. But as I started poking around looking for something to nominate, I found a book I really want to read (The Great Halifax Explosion), and as others nominated or suggested books, I came across three others that I've already either bought or put on hold at the library. NONE of them are conventional war books, though I'd guess Station X is the closest to that. So, overall, a very successful month (though y'all are not doing my TBR a bit of good!)
