Updated w/ July discussion and August nomination thread.
I have been updating the first post here as new threads are created (nominations/votes/discussion), should I add a comment when I do that? Or is just keeping it up-to-date enough? What does everyone prefer for this thread? |

Thank you for this list! At least we would know what books shouldn't be nominated again... I do wish I joined the forum back in 2011 during the Hitchhiker's reign in the book club discussion scene..

As someone who has decided to be an active Book Club reader this year, I really appreciate this, Dazrin. It really gives me a great idea of what has been done before, and makes it easy to find threads on the books.

Added September 2015 vote link.
If you haven't checked out the proposed 2016 category order I have included it in the first post along with a link for comments if you want to give some before it is set. Also, this thread does get regular updates despite not being bumped. |
