The list of top 15:
I should also say that among the books that I did not exclude there are some that I would never nominate or vote for. I can't make an argument that those don't fit the category though. |

I understand and agree with it being sorted out during the nominations, I was just trying to get a better understanding of the "genre" as its not one I would normally look for, specifically. |

I nominate orlok's Choice as a category. The concept is orlok will give us a selection of upcoming books on their TBR list to vote on (say five). First round of voting decides it and in the case of a tie, orlok chooses April's selection. It's sort of like Lottery. I find the book's streaming through my GoodReads updates rather interesting.

One more nomination and we are one step closer to basking in orlok's wisdom! Actually issybird was high on my list too, but orlok nudged her out with a crazier diversity.
I would move that Lottery work more like what I propose in that the selected forumer gives a list of books to vote on. |

That's an interesting idea; nominate it if you want it! It sounds sort of like a "Lottery Plus" if I'm understanding correctly - the winner chooses the poll nominees, and then everyone else votes in the poll on them.

^That's the theory. I thought of it while remembering a couple of 'what should I read next' polls where I listed some titles I was considering and had the forum decide where to next.
