Welcome to a fresh start for the MR Literary Club, and help us select what we'll read next!
The topic is
New Beginnings and Uncharted Waters
Selections that have something to do with any of new beginnings, big changes, second chances, exploration, venturing into uncharted territory, or however else you may interpret it
Detailed nominating and voting guidelines can be found
here. Basically, nominations are open for four days and each person may nominate up to
three literary selections which will go automatically to the vote. Voting then opens for four days and each person votes by post, receives a number of votes equal to the number of nominations minus one and may give each nomination up to two votes. Any questions, feel free to ask.
We hope that you will read the selection with us and join in the discussion.
