 Nominate a book based on what criteria? Themes again? Or genres, as you mentioned? Those are restrictions that require research each month (or whatever time period). 
I didn't see the New Leaf rule about voting only if you were prepared to read the chosen book as a problem; I abstained when the slate of books held no appeal for me--so what? And did anyone really care or notice if a voter ended up failing to participate for whatever reason?
