10 spots remaining
Mandy, you can suggest or second something else!
Lots of people seconding microhistory... I got Ciara's first. Everyone else can suggest or second something else!
Robin H-R, I think your link is broken!
Suggestions are open for Poll 10!https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
Sincerest apologies for being late... I have no excuse except that my book was too good and I lost track of time lol
It's time for our next round of suggestions!Just a reminder that you can find a full list of prompts already on the 2025 list in the third post on this thread.
How Suggestions Work:
- The topics for the 2025 reading challenge list will be determined by a series of mini-polls, the number of which depends on the number of prompts winning in each mini-polls
- Suggestions for each poll will be opened until 15 suggestions are received and “seconded”.
- The voting thread will open the day after suggestions go live. You can find the schedule here.
Rules:
- Each member can only suggest OR second one prompt
- Suggestions close after 15 total seconded prompts
When suggesting and seconding, feel free to provide examples and descriptions that may help other members understand the prompt better. These descriptions and examples will be copied over to the voting thread for further discussion.
As always, please express any and all feedback (respectfully, of course), either here or in The Wild Discussion.
Moving on to Voting:
1. A microhistory
2. A book with a “Y” connection
3. A book about witches, goddesses or nuns
4. A book with an "Alice" connection
5. A book containing a trial
6. A short story collection
7. A book inspired by mythology, legend, folklore, or fairytale
8. A book with an animal, vegetable (plant), or mineral in the title
9. A book featuring a protagonist who is in mid-life
10. A book related to a Stephen King book
11. A party book
12. A book that focuses on a journey

14. A book about a rivalry
15. A book involving twins
To Be Seconded:
- A book related to the phrase "be careful what you wish for"
- A book set in a coastal area
I downvoted both winners so whomp whomp for me. I generally don't like setting prompts, so it's not surprising though.
