Can we submit suggestions all year? I suppose it could get out of hand, but I have some and I don't want to forget by the time the appropriate month rolls around.

Sounds fine to me. To keep it organized, we should still probably have a thread for each month. And if we could try to keep it to 2-3 suggestions each, with specific titles by authors, that would be helpful. It was overwhelming to make the polls for the first few months with so many suggestions, and with only authors as suggestions.

If you have time to make the threads, feel free. Otherwise I can do it tonight or this weekend.  We should probably have a deadline for suggestions to be given, then create the polls.

Threads are now up for the remaining months.

This thread is all updated for 2014. Also paged the mods to unstick the polls. Thanks Christy!

New here, how does the book club work. Would love to be a part of it. Is there a page / thread that can advise?

(idea)

It's pretty informal -- someone starts a thread for discussion on the 25th of the month, and people can chime in whenever (not just on that day).

Hi! This was actually last year's book club. It wasn't very successful towards the end so we didn't organize one for this year. But please stick around the board and join in!

[mti2000]

Thanks! Love the book suggestions anyway:)
