Help select what we'll read and discuss next!


The topic is Moonlighting.

This could be anything to do with nighttime, the night sky, the moon, moonlight, etc. This could also relate to the alternate definition of moonlighting as a second or separate job or occupation aside from any main employment, where one 'moonlights'. Or, however else you may interpret the topic!


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.
