Rules for submitting your nomination:


- Each member can nominate just one book.

- The book must fit in one of the following group bookshelves: 100 must read (https://www.goodreads.com/group/books...) or Bowie references (https://www.goodreads.com/group/books...).

- In case you think of a book to nominate that is not part of any of those two lists, you must explain why you are suggesting it. For example, if you saw Bowie mentioning it before, send the reference. If it is part of a Bowie song, name it...

- Keep in mind that our goal is not to read books about Bowie. Our goal is to read books that were admired by him as the avid reader he was.

On April 1st, I'll upload the list with the contestants for April book. The list cannot have more than ten books and less than 5. The terms for a book to make the list are:

1st - The ones mentioned more times.

2nd - In case there is a tie between nominees, the one to make the cut will be the one mentioned first.

3rd - In case we don't get the minimum nominations (5), the rest of the list will be completed with the books with more votes from the previous month.

The poll will remain open until April 10th. Once the voting ends, if there is a tie on the first place, a new poll will open from April 10th to the 15th to reach a final decision.
