Book forums muddle

When I posted my LONG dissection of the MN forums, and made a particular point of what seem to me like problems of forum names, forum divisions, and forum lay-out, I think I used the Book section as one example.

I recently accidentally was posting in BooK of the Month, instead of What We're Reading, which just confirmed what I thought before. The titles seem useless and the forums seem indistinguishable.

Still hoping the administrative people might re-think this.

The names and divisions seem pretty sensible to me. MNHQ did a big tidy up a few years ago. Before that there were a LOT more boards.
There are no book forum police monitoring who posts what where, so I think you'll be OK.

Hi there @MsAmerica . We're always happy to have a think about how the topics work. Could you tell us more about what you think isn't working here and how you think it could work better?

If the divisions were sensible, there wouldn't be such a muddle between two book forums that are treated identically, or between politics and news, or any other areas of confusion.
