Regarding a vote, personally I don't think we really need a vote for this. If someone has something that they like they can feel free to use it. If enough people like it, I will add it to the FAQ thread. I'm not sure what the floor is for that, I don't think we need to add everything, but we'll figure something out. |

How about taking whatever we use, putting it on an eInk Reader and then getting a photo of the screen,cropping as needed?

I can put an image on my H2O, take a photo of it, crop as needed and post. What I think would be good if someone can find or make is a leaf that looks like it's part of a motherboard.
How's this sound... On top, New Leaf In the middle, the leaf On the bottom, Book Club And if wanted, on the left side a generic Reader and on the right an audio player for audiobooks... If anyone has an idea for the font to be used, please say. Last edited by JSWolf; 12-29-2017 at 02:47 PM. |

Mocked up with absolutely no artistic eye (or photography skill), the leaf would have to be bigger and proper leaf shape Last edited by June; 12-29-2017 at 04:11 PM. Reason: Added snapshot |

Discussions are free-for-alls as they stand, but nothing precludes having a leader and indeed, one would be welcome if someone felt attached to a particular book. Since we will be starting the discussion roughly a month after the selection, the assumption is that the entire book is open for comment, i.e. no spoiler policy relating to that book. However, and I'm speaking personally, I'm a total spoiler-phobe and perhaps we need to address this point for a book in a series. Nothing makes me crazier than saying to someone, "Don't spoil me!" and then they go on to tell me something that I think is a spoiler (I pretty much think everything's a spoiler. ) And yet, I'm willing to take people on faith if they say a book in a series is a standalone, even if it's not the first. But please, let's not have that argument again! |

I've attached an image of a leaf that I happen to like. I took the photo that this was extracted from, so I have full rights to make it available here. Note: I do use a small version of this image on my website, but it's not like so many people go there that everyone in the world will be sick of this image already. If someone wants to play with combining this image with an e-reader or whatever, feel free - I hereby give my permission. Note, the attached PNG already has a transparent background, so in theory it should be easy to just drop this on top of another image. I left the attachment at a reasonable size so you can do your own resizing as needed. If I get around to trying anything, it would probably be just to use a reduced size version of that image directly. |

If anyone has anything to say about another book in the same series, I would suggest that it be put in a spoiler code.

So many leaves from which to choose. I do like Dazrin's designs, so at least for the time being, plan on using one of them. Even though we all read ebooks, the image of a paper book, using a leaf as a bookmark, really appeals to me.
I don't think we have to have uniformity though. The real point is to let people in other parts of MR know about the book club, and hope to interest them enough that they at least come to have a look. (And having managed to mess up uploading the signature, I'm having another go!) Last edited by Bookpossum; 12-30-2017 at 07:18 AM. |

The last question of the FAQ has all the images I made and the code that just needs to be copied to your signature of that helps. I am on a phone right now or I would give you a link. I think I posted it up thread though.
