Great nominations so far. I'm finalising mine (it can be hard to whittle down after enough are found!).

I think one of the best things about our move towards interpretive topics is that months now are generally very open-ended and it's interesting to see each person's take with their nominations. You have an interesting, ahem,
viewpoint on this month's!

There are a few of us who've been around the clubs for a long time so most selections of the book clubs are still ineligible, but The Woman in White happens to have preceded those of us participating so far the last few months (and I notice it was the selection only two months before I myself joined!).
Quickly glancing over those who participated in the original discussion of The Woman in White, I'm actually a bit shocked to find that astrangerhere was present for it! However, as she hasn't objected this month, it's still eligible. I did PM her just now about the situation just in case. If there aren't any objections before the vote begins, then it's eligible.
That's a bit short notice for astrangerhere to have time to object, but in this instance looking at the whole I think it's more prudent to err on the side of keeping closer to the schedule.
