and welcome to BaO's new Book of the Month discussion forum. This part of the forum is totally new, so there may be a few bits of fine-tuning that may need to be done to get things running smoothly, but here's the basic idea of what I've got in mind....
For each month there will be a different book chosen. The book itself will be announced about a month or so before the discussions start, so as to give everyone who wants to participate the time to read it. For example, the book for discussion from 1st May will be The Hobbit by JRR Tolkein.
I'm, thinking that to give eveyone an equal chance to participate, the forum area for discussion of a particular month's book should maybe kept locked until the start of the book's month itself (for example The Hobbit forum area is currently locked until 1st May).
If you'd like to suggest a book for one particular month, please feel free to do so in this General Discussions area. The final decision on which book will be chosen for any particular month will, however, be the choice of the Moderators of the Book of the Month forum area (as at least one of the Moderators will need to read the book, so it needs to be something they think they'll enjoy or at least may wish to try).
