For me, the cover is the deal breaker. I assume that’s going to be more common than a lack of physical media 
I feel you. it’s probably not as pedo as the cover makes it out to be, but yeah…

The cover might give the wrong idea? I can’t really tell.
It’s a weird school love comedy. Now if all school love comedies are being called that then

Sounds worth making a general poll for “If a nomination didn’t include physical copies (or they were hard to get), how would that affect your vote?” Or something vaguely like that

Yes! As @seanblue mentioned, people are free to nominate at any time! Up until we have 20 options to pick from, since that’s Discourse’s limit on poll options.
That’s a good point; crazy how time flies. Maybe, since we’re at this point, we could do something like:
July 24: “officially” open nominations (they’re always open, but this would just be an advertising period and for people to start looking at choices again)
July 31: voting for the next picks begins
August 7: voting closes
コップクラフト finishes the week of August 21, and if we have a week break before starting the next book, book #2 would start September 4, which would give folks 4 weeks to order their physical copy from the point that voting closes.
If folks feel that the extra time to order a physical copy isn’t needed, we could wait a week or two for voting; just depends.
[Please see my next post for the poll; it was acting oddly in this post for some reason.]
If you answered yes and have a specific amount of time in mind that would be convenient for you, please let me know!
Whoops. Ah well; I didn’t see anyone mentioning it earlier, so maybe they also forgot…?
If a nomination didn’t include physical copies (or they were hard to get), how would that affect your vote?
- I would still vote for the book
- I wouldn’t vote for the book

…Something weird is going on with the polls. Let me see if I can fix.
Would you like extra time built into the book club cycle to order a physical copy of the newest pick?
- Yes
- No
- Doesn’t matter

I would just default to including an “order period”. I am mostly doing ebooks but I don’t mind a longer break and if it gets more people to join, I definitely don’t mind.

Do we re-nominate things from the first poll, if we still want to see them this time around?

Nope; they’ll hang on in the list of nominations unless they don’t get any votes in a book-picking poll. Anything that’s cut from the list we’ll let sit for a few book cycles before allowing it for re-nomination.

I’d probably increase the cut to everything with 1-2 votes, and not just 0 votes, based on how the poll went last time.
Otherwise we might run out of slots for next round for new nominations.

Should I nominate some more stuff? I already nominated so much. 
are the 3 series I would want to nominate.

I feel like I’ve nominated too much too 
, aside from the one mentioned earlier I had a few more in my mind.

yeah, I have probably like 3 or so more… so if we ever run low on options…

Following up on what I said earlier about the cut out options based on votes, it could also be done the X least popular options.
That way, in the case we reach 20 nominations, will leave a few new slots for the next round.

I should nominate 86 since it’s not getting picked up by the ABC over at WK.

Yes! Go for it! It’s a good series that I’ve wanted to read for a while as well. A lot of the more advanced people here would probably vote for it. Just keep in mind the level might put some people off.

Level 37 oof. I think anything in the upper 30’s for me is out of my comfort zone.
Didn’t ABC stand for Absolute Beginners Club? Isn’t that a bit too tall of a level?

Advanced Book Club is ABC. I don’t remember the abbreviation for the very beginner club unfortunately

I guess that’s a very different meaning
