OK, next order of business.... the schedule of when the Nomination, Vote and discussion threads should be started.
Basically what I have been doing is:
Nomination thread, second to last week for 7 days prior to the month the nominations are for.
Vote/Poll, after the nom thread for 7 days (the poll may end in the month being voted on if the final week of the prev month isn't a full week.)
Discussion thread, the first day of the last (full) week of the same month.
There have been some suggestions to do the nominations more ahead of time, or make the thread last longer.
Also, there have been some people looking for the discussion thread because they finished the book the first week of the month, or even before that.
Also, there has been a suggestion that the person that originally nominated the book sort of lead the discussion with some question. My concern with this was that would discourage people from nominating books.
What perhaps we could do is come up with a template for the discussion thread that could fit with every book like:
What did you think of the main character?, What was your favorite part of the book?, What part didn't you like? etc. People could use it sort of like a form letter when the post their inital thoughts of the book.
Discuss... (should I start a new thread for this?)
