From the Desk of Carlene Reid :lol:
Sorry Jamila...instead of just starting a new thread I just edited yours....but I took your concerns in account...was trying to let Ekow run things and just kinda co-moderate...but I see I should step up to the plate...so here's the time line.
According to Ekow's system this is what we are gonna do. Follow this guideline closely so that we can start on July 1.:arrow: Step One: Please post book nominations in THIS thread and THIS thread only. The first five books to receive seconds will be entered into another thread with a poll. I suggest nominators and others go to Amazon.com or something like that to read and post some reviews for us to read. That way we'll have a ground on nominating a decent book for the month of July. This thread will be locked on Friday June 25 at 5:00 pm SHARP. If we haven't reached the first five nomination then the first >4 books nominated with seconds will be entered into the poll which will start sometime Friday evening.
:arrow: Step Two: The thread with the poll will be opened until 5:00 PM Monday, June 28...after that time it will be locked The only count that will matter is what the poll shows. Meaning don't simply reply and say that oh I want such and such a book. You MUST VOTE in the poll.
:arrow: Step Three:BCU Book of the Month will be announced on Tuesday June 29....go buy, check out, borrow, etc. your books because reading should commence on Thursday July 1.Discussions/threads about the book will pop up through out the month.
