I'm not in a rush lol. In previous years (not last year, but most of the ones before), the suggestions process would take a few hours each round. And the first poll is always a bit slower as we don't have as many members realizing the polling has started. So take your time (while I get some work done lol)!

1) Please submit any prompt you would like - no one "owns" these prompts and they may be grateful for your suggestion if they can't make the thread.2) A prompt can be resubmitted if it's in a tough round and doesn't make the top... that's no reason to not submit something this round in the hopes it gets in on later rounds.

Bless you for that, Ellie.
It's time for our first 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 book with a cover that has an image of something that starts with A, T, or Y
2. A book with a serpentine element on the cover
3. A book set in a country without a monarch
4. A book that comforts you
5. A manga or a book about manga

To Be Seconded:
-
It will be opening up in the next half hour to 45 minutes! No clue how that translates haha.I do mean CDT, I guess, and we will be in this time zone for all polls this polling year. We will vary the timing a bit so that it's more accessible for people in other time zones (hopefully) but all of the current mods live within this time zone!
Head's up, our suggestions will likely open closer to 11:15-11:30 CST today (so like half an hour to 45 mins from now!)
Just a head's up, we will likely open suggestions closer to 11:30 or 11:15. I will post in the announcements thread when it opens.

Popping on now to moderate the listopias, but in general, we hope that readers will confirm any books placed on those lists fit the criteria. Of course, if you notice something amiss, please comment so I can remove it! But with 52 lists by the end of the year, it gets hard to monitor them all.
Looks like y'all got them in on time! Just posted the results!
Results are posted for our pre-poll!https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
The first round of suggestions will open around noon CST on Monday, July 1.
Also note that I have opened up the 2025 Voting, Plans, and Rejects tabs on our Community Spreadsheet, if you'd like to grab a spot.
