I agree with the pride read. Maybe we could have two book of the months, one pride related and one not. A short pride book that might work is a middle-grade book called George by Alex Gino. It's a sweet and short read about a boy who knows she's a girl. This might be a fun read for everyone because it's not too long and the author is genderqueer so they represent the community well.

Someone suggested Caraval.

I've narrowed it down to the books I have access to. Sorry if some of your favorites aren't on this list! (This is for the main BOTM, not the pride related one)

See You in the Cosmos by Jack Cheng
Pax by Sara Pennypacker
The War That Saved My Life by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley
Dorothy Must Die by Danielle Paige

[Lacey]

I've decided that we will have three BOTMs, so everyone has a better chance of getting to read at least one of them.

1. Members Pick BOTM ~ This will be the book the members of the group choose. They will vote on a poll and the winner of that poll is the members pick BOTM. This book will be the main BOTM.

2. Themed BOTM ~ This book will be related to an event or celebration for that month. This month, for example, will be a pride related book. The members of the group will also vote on a poll to choose this BOTM.

3. Moderator's Pick BOTM ~ This BOTM will be a book I choose. I will try to choose a book I think many people might like.

You can participate in one, two, none, or all three! Having three will give us more variety so everyone can get a chance to read a book and discuss it. I hope you guys like this idea!

I'm going to make a poll shortly of those four books for the member's choice BOTM, so you can vote for one of those books.

If anyone has any other ideas for pride related books let me know!
