Interesting nominations so far! About an hour and a half left for nominations.

Oh yes! I still have a little while left to decide so I'm still mulling them over, but my 'shortlist' is, ahem, close to 20 books. Some months I just get a little overenthusiastic I suppose.

The only one I had so far decided on nominating was Three Men in a Boat, and then realised it is ineligible because it was a selection of the regular book club way back in its first year. That's really almost silly since I don't think even one of us was a club member for that, but that's that. It is churning the gears in my mind about the possibility of a tweaked eligibility guideline for older general book club selections though.

Anyway, while I'm still deciding, I'll jot down most of my shortlist here in a spoiler in case anyone is interested for the sake of discovery. It was definitely a 'fun' topic to search for nominations!
