Also, while we decide on our next topic, there's a couple of minor bits of club business I want to bring up.

First, we've been playing with the format of how to best suggest in the first post of discussion threads when might be good times to discuss what parts. It's only a (somewhat trivial) suggestion since we can discuss whatever at any time, but I still think it might be good to keep. Currently the recommendation is waiting around a month to discuss the full completed book (and ending), basically around the time the next selection is chosen. It seems enough finish sooner though, so maybe we could change that to recommending just waiting until the 1st to discuss the complete book instead of a month (which would be around the 10th). Any thoughts?

Second, I've long wanted to provide a preview link for nominations in the first post of the nomination/voting thread. I personally find and read them anyway, so I'm usually already there. The problem has always been though that I usually use Goodreads for most previews if they're there, but clicking to preview doesn't change the url, so I didn't see a way to transfer that to a link. Well, I've had an epiphany, as simple as it is. By right-clicking the preview button on Goodreads, it does give a specific url for the preview, so I can now add preview links to the first nominations post. I try to keep the OP post nominations list low on clutter and this would add more to that, but I'd like to try it for at least a month or two. I don't know if anyone else would use it, but I myself would so I don't mind trying it and seeing how it goes, although feedback of whether it's useful to anyone else or not would be appreciated. [Edit- Some books won't have previews, and some previews will only have the foreword, introduction, book info, etc. and not any actual book content, but such is life.]
