You'll love this one...!! A book club & more discussion

Time to nominate themes for our January group reads.

Please avoid blatant nominations for themes that fit into the yearly challenge.

If you don't have a theme idea, you can second someone else's nomination instead, but that will count as your own nomination, and that theme will be entered twice in random.org - giving the theme an additional chance to make the cut.

Only 5 themes will make the cut and end up in the poll.

Nominations can be seconded multiple times by different people. If you second a nomination, please make clear that is what you are doing. E.g. If I nominate "Books whose title starts with A", you need to state "I second Books whose title starts with A".

Nominations end December 6.

Nominations:
1. Set in one of the 25 smallest countries (Marie)
2. Japanese literature with an animal on the cover (Nistha)
3. Book with a theme of social media (Kristie)
4. Author whose first or last name starts with the letters JAN (Katrisa, Karin)

I see a lot of these in bookshops these days so want to nominate it - A Japanese literature with animal on cover

Marie, this is a great idea. I put it as set in any of the 25 countries listed in that web, since I think it might be a challenge to find books if we keep it too restricted. It will be fun to gopher, though.

How about a book with a theme of social media. Could be about an influencer or someone with a true crime podcast, etc.

I nominate books with an author whose first or last name starts with the letters JAN

Too bad I haven't written any books.

Well you have a few weeks Janice! Get on that!

I second this.

I've been reading your nominations. I will update my first post as soon as I can get to my computer.
