Poetry

[close] Every month the two moderators come up with 5 suggestions for what the group should read for the month. The moderators list these suggestions and members of the group vote on two polls (1 for each moderator.) The suggestions with the highest number of votes from both polls will become the 2 books that we read during the month. The two polls will go up a few days before the month ends, so people have more time to vote. On the first of the month, the winners will be announced. Both books will have their own discussion threads on Goodreads so members of the group can share their thoughts on what they’re reading with other members. We are making an effort for the two books to be from two different genres, but it’s not the end of the world if they’re from the same genre.
