With Heart • December 2018

Help select what we'll read next!


The topic is With Heart

There are so many associations with the word 'heart' from the literal heart to the emotional to the shape, from heartbeats and life to love and romance, as well as many adjectives such as heartwarming, heartbreaking, heartless, halfhearted, lionhearted, etc., and idioms such as heart to heart, heart of gold, change of heart, wear your heart on your sleeve, etc. This topic includes all of those and is open to interpretation so it will be interesting to see what we come up with.


Detailed nominating and voting guidelines can be found here. Basically, nominations are open for about four days and each person may nominate up to three literary selections which will go automatically to the vote. Voting by post then opens for four days, and a voter may give each nomination either one or two votes but only has a limited number of votes to use which is equal to the number of nominations minus one. Any questions, feel free to ask.

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