Alright, let's get the ball rolling! This has been stagnating a while despite the obvious interest from people, so let me take over and put up some dates that might help! I shall be messages everyone on the thread about these, too, in the future, just to get some more effective communication going.
 
1. December 5th to December 8th: Book suggestions
- White down what you want to read in this thread. As Little Women was the initial idea, let's put that as an option too - but perhaps planning for a reading will enliven this conversation on these busy December eves. No pressure, just drop down a title and an author

2. December 9th to December 12th: Poll voting
- I will put up a poll in a separate thread, link it here and to you all, and we will pick our first ever book to read here

3. Rest of December and early January: Time to read
- Time to acquire or loan the book and read through 

4. January 6th to January 10th: Discussion time
- It might be a bit of a challenge to find time to read in the haste of the holidays (or maybe it'll be easier than usual. Idk) so let's allocate a little over two and a half weeks for that! Is that too little? Maybe? But let's start with that plan for now. The important thing is to have a plan

                                                                       So, start suggesting books below!

I love the idea! I'm afraid I'm a very slow reader and I have tons of books I still have to read but I will see what I ca do. 
As for suggestions, I always wanted to read The picture of Dorian Gray, Animal Farm or the Discworld books

Oooh, I'd also be very excited about any of those! Might've suggested Dorian Gray myself if only some lovely ximbo wanted chime in first <3
Instead, I shall nominate Dracula just on the count of craving for gothic horror
Regarding Discworld, the books are not all chronological from what I understand? But I suppose the first published one would be a good place to start if that is chosen. (So, that what I'll put in the poll unless there are other recommendations)

There are several reading orders, chronologically, sub-series, introductory books, companion books. https://www.discworldemporium.com/reading-order/

The book "Mort" for example is listed in sub-series and introductory books as a good starting point.
