But the discussion isn't anywhere. It is hard to get the controls midflight, and it's normal to lose some context. It would be really nice if the club run with fixed dates, pinned threads, etc. Also, will there be a vote for the next book or are we going down the list (Children of time)? If we are going down the list, it may be good to put a limit on it and do another round of book selection later. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Tenthrow@lemmy.world [S] 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) I'm up for whatever you guys like. But I think it makes sense to open a nomination thread then vote on the top 5 or 10 or something like that. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Spluk42@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) That's what I've done at !printsf@lemmy.ca but to be honest theur hasn't been a lot of engagement. Would be happy to run the one here if you'd like. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Tenthrow@lemmy.world [S] 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) I'd love to have the help.
