Jon, are you satisfied with your first post as an introduction to the NMRBC? If you are, I'll request that it gets added to the main page.

Would it be better to leave the nominations to three nods or would it be better to go to two nods?

The vote is the only thing that really counts when it comes to what is finally selected to read, so I suggest you keep the nomination process as simple and clear as possible, while still considering practicalities of running the show.
So, something like: the first 10 books to get 2 nods go into the vote. (10 is arbitrary, but 10..15 is what I would consider the practical range.) |

We'll go with two nods for now and we can see how it goes from there.

A couple of suggestions:
Go back to 2 nods for August. We don't have a lot of people nominating, so I'm afraid requiring 3 nods will leave us with too few books to choose among. Start the discussion thread when the book is selected, so that we can discuss the book as we're reading. I think there's a chance that might lead to more discussion, so it's worth trying out. We could put specifics in spoiler boxes, something like this: Quote:

It seems that Jon is busy these days? I'm a bit wary of stepping on toes, but I guess there's no reason to put all of the burden of running the club on him. So perhaps anyone who has time can start threads for voting, discussion, and nomination when the time seems right?

Yes, I have been busy. I'll be away from home for a week. I'll be no longer busy the end of August. If someone could do the nominations starting sometime this weekend, that would be a big help. I can do the voting starting the 30th.
September's genre is non-fiction. Thanks. |
