Our book club used to pick books by voting, but now we take turns choosing.
We voted for a year, but people kept complaining their picks never won. Last month, my friend Sarah said, 'Let's just rotate who picks next,' and we all agreed. Do you think a set rotation is better than a vote for keeping everyone happy?

What about trying a mix? I like what @davis.adam said, having the person pick a few options for a vote. That way everyone's taste gets a shot, but you avoid the risk of one person picking a book the whole group hates. A straight rotation can feel fair but sometimes leads to a bad month for everyone.

Have you ever tried a hybrid system? My old club did a rotation, but the person whose turn it was would suggest three books, and then we'd vote on those. It gave the chooser some control but kept everyone involved. The pure vote made some people feel ignored, and a straight rotation sometimes meant a book nobody else wanted to read. This middle way stopped the complaining for us because it felt more fair. Everyone got a chance to guide the choice without one person forcing a pick on the group.

That just sounds like a rotation with extra steps and more chances to argue.
