I'm batting around three ideas for January:
-A Touch of the Poetic. This would be novels with some poetic element or atmosphere about them, or with poetry or a poet as an element or theme, or however else one may interpret the title, and of course actual poetry would be an option too. Since January was our Poetry month for years it would be a good month and a good homage to it.
-Fantasy & Science Fiction. It's an oldie but I don't think we've ever had this category in the lit club. While neither are normally go-to genres for me, I like well-written books in any genre and there is a healthy amount of literary fantasy and science fiction so it could be interesting to have a month devoted specifically to that and see what happens.
-Brand New Authors. This would be a month for nominating authors who've never been nominated before in any of the book clubs in this forum. While many of our monthly slates often have many nominations of brand new authors, it's rare to have a month entirely made up of them and it could be interesting to see what we find.
I'm going to mull over the options for a day or so. If anyone has any preference of these (or any other instead) just post and we'll go with that!
