We invite YOU to nominate a theme for next month.

Perhaps there's a holiday (major or obscure) you want to celebrate? Maybe you want to focus on a specific genre or tag? Want to look for cover image or color? Focus on the author's initials?

There is NO requirement that the theme match the month or season. Whatever "theme" you can come up with is fair game.

BE SURE to include the task requirement for your theme:
Examples:
Author, Author!: Read a book whose author's first and last initials are in "Author, Author"
It's Fall!: Read a book with the word "fall" in the title or subtitle
Read a book with BLUE cover.


ONE nomination per member


To encourage participation from more members, the person who nominated LAST month's winning theme cannot nominate this month. So, Carol, you will *not* be able to submit a nomination (though you WILL be able to vote).


DEADLINE - 25 November 2025 at 5p CDT, or 5 nominations (whichever comes first)

Once the nominations are closed, we'll set up a poll for membership to vote on the theme for next month.

Nominated themes:
* Christmas in the Two Hemispheres. Read books from both hemispheres that are Christmas themed. e.g. Christmas in winter; Christmas in summer or By an author from the Northern Hemisphere or an author from the Southern Hemisphere (Carolyn)
* Author, Author. Read a book by an author whose first and last initials are in CHRISTMAS TREE. (Beverly)
* Eating Yummy Stuff! Read a book with food on the cover (SouthWestZippy)

Put your thinking caps on, and Have fun!

Read a book with food on the cover.
