We just need 4 more votes for Free-for-all. With Free-for-all, if your favorite category may or will lose, you can still nominate the same book(s). In fact, you can nominate anything as long as it's an eBook. You have total freedom. Where going for a fixed category would limit what you can nominate.

This has nothing to do with a specific book. This is a category poll. Where did I, Robot come into this?

But after thinking about it a little bit more I think I just misunderstood the category. I thought it meant that the book should be free for all, but now I guess it means that the category is free for any suggestions, no matter about the availibility of the book. My fault. But English is not my native language, and sometimes I just don't get it right |

Free-for-all means that you can nominate any eBook as long as it is not a past winner. As long as the eBook exists in any country it's allowed.
Free-for-all does not mean the book is free or even available where you live. It just means that you have the choice to nominate any eBook. You are not limited to any specific category. It's an open ended month. The I, Robot example is incorrect for what Free-for-all is. |

If classics wins again, I'm going to be nominating I, Robot again for February, 2013.

Now I'll need to dig through my collection and see if there's anything I've labelled as Romance. The only thing that bounces into my head immediately is Gone with the Wind, which I do eventually want to read.
But I think that's had its day in the sun with the book club in the past. So I'll see what else I have. You know if we campaign early enough we can make the Feb vote a sham even with the multiple choice voting. |
