College Students! discussion

AHHH! Where have I been for the past few days?? Nominations are WAY past due. I apologize everyone. I have dropped the ball! Anyways..nominations for November will be accepted starting NOW! :)

For November we will be reading 2 books as usual. You are only able to nominate for one category. We will be having our "regular" fiction/non-fiction category (category 1) where you can nominate anything and then our "themed" category (category 2). The theme for the month of November is fantasy/science fiction. I'm sure alot of people will be feeling stressed with school in November and if you are anything like me..sometimes I like to just get out of my daily life and read about something WAY different.

Guidelines for Nominations:

-Only one nomination per person and you must choose one category.
-Please specify which category you are nominating for. The Themed category is always category 2. Your post should look something like this:
Category 1: "This Book" by An Author
- Please make sure you have the book and author in your nomination
- If you have nominated the same book more than 2 times and it has only ever received one or two votes..please try and pick another book! :)
-We will be taking the first 12 nominations for each category or we will close nominations on October 9th if not all categories are filled.
-Voting will begin soon after nominations are done and will be open for a week.
- If your books wins..please let us know whether or not you would like to lead the book discussion. It is not required by any means that you lead it.
