Welcome!

The Steps

1. Submit your nominations via the Google form.
2. We (Jenny and Kathy) will reach out to discuss your nominations with you. Together, we will select one of your nominations to add to our to-read list. This step will ensure that the books we read are accessible (e.g. not a French rocket science textbook) and available (e.g. soft copy exists).
3. Your nomination will be added to our to-read list.
4. Since you are required to be the discussion leader of your book, we will figure out the a reading time frame and discussion date that aligns best with your schedule.

The order we go through the to-read list will be determined by these factors:

• Your nomination submission time (i.e. rolling system)
• Your availability as discussion leader
• When your last chosen book was read, so others can get a chance before your next book

You may participate in this process as often as you wish; just be mindful that others may want a chance for the group to read their books as well. :)

Guidelines

• Make sure your nominations are around 300-400 pages or shorter.
• If you would like to nominate a longer book, we will need to work out the best schedule for it, whether that is to a) extend the reading period or b) split it into two months.
• The nomination must not exceed 800 pages.
• Nominations must be in English, or have English translations available.
• Nominations must have easily accessible ebook versions (contact Jenny if you have questions).
• You may nominate up to 3 books, one of which will be chosen through a discussion with you. We also ask that you nominate 2 books at a minimum to give the group more options. If you need ideas for your second nomination, check out our inspiration shelf!
• You must be the discussion leader for the book that gets chosen.
