I think the main argument was that you could order several books at a time and save money on shipping. Of course, different people may have had all sorts of reasons. Anyway, the most important thing is what people who participate or want to participate now think about the matter. I, for one, have changed my mind, as it turns out I never order both books from the same place anyway - because I have one of them already, or I find one at the library, or I read them in diffent languages and have to order from different places. Therefore, I think it's worth checking again what others think. I'm starting to get the impression that more people read the first book than the second, which could for example be because they need more time to finish the first. The benefit of choosing one at a time is that everyone who is ready to read a new book get to join in on the voting, while everyone else will probably stay out of it. Both ways will work for me, though.

I never thought of that, as I always use the "Active topics" tag. Maybe it would be better to run the book club under Challenges?
