Greetings CROAH member!We are now accepting nominations for the next group read to cover the fourth US President, James Madison. Please send your suggestions via one of 2 ways: a) a private note to either Regina or Dog Lover (this method reveals your email address to us), or b) use the "Questions About this Group" text box found on the member's tab. This sends an email to both administrators and masks your email address.Please do NOT post your nomination to the site's discussion tab. Please include the title, author, and brief description of the book. It would also be nice if you included the Shelfari book page URL.Nominations will be accepted through the 18th. Nominations will be posted and voting will take place through the 25th. We will post the selected book on the 26th.Because we are approaching the Holidays a revised schedule will be followed for the remainder of 2009 and beginning of 2010. We will vote for the Madison read in October, post discussion questions in November, skip December, vote on Monroe reads in January, and post discussion questions in February.A suggestion has been made to continue the extended reading schedule past the Holidays and provide 2 months between book selections. We would be interested in hearing anyone's thoughts on this. Would it help you? Would you lose momentum? Are you too busy to participate on the current schedule.Please post your comments on this proposed scheduling change to the nomination thread found at http://www.shelfari.com/groups/34700/discussions/146618/James-Madison-Nominations-are-OpenThe four books we've chosen since the group started have been fabulous. We look forward to seeing the nominations for the fifth.Thanks,Regina & DL
