June BOTM: Nominations

[Rushali, Head Mod]

Hey everyone! For June BOTM, this time the Mods have decided three themes.

✨June is LGBT Pride Month so our first theme is based on this.
🌟18th June is the Autistic Pride Day, our second theme is based on Autism.
♥️Our third theme is Romance. We have never read any Romance book in this group and we try to include every genre here, so this time, we'll read Romance!

Suggest books below you would like to read under these themes but take note of the following points first:-

1. Suggest only one book per theme i.e, you can suggest 3 books, one for each theme. We get many recommendations due to which the results of the poll become ambiguous.
2. Suggest only those books which you'll like to read or reread in June. We have observed that books suggested by the members are the ones they have already read and if and when that book is chosen through poll, those members do not participate in discussion.
The idea of BOTM is to read and discuss books together in the group.
3. Link the books you suggest and if you are using the app or can't link it, include the name of author with book name.

Only suggest books if you can pertain to these rules.
The BOTM for June will be decided through a group poll according to the suggestions received here.

Themes:-
1. Any LGBTQ+ book.
2. Any book featuring Autism as main theme.
3. Any book of Romance genre except adult and erotic books.

My nomination for the LGBTQ+ Book is The Sky Blues

[Fabitha]

I nominate Cemetery Boys and Wild Beauty for... both LGBT+ and Romance actually, I believe they do apply. Can I? Not sure! I mean I don't know which I nominate for which XD
I also nominate On the Edge of Gone.

[Erica]

Romance: The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

LGBTQ+: This Is How You Lose the Time War

Autism: Funny, You Don't Look Autistic: A Comedian's Guide to Life on the Spectrum

[debychase]

I recommend History Is All You Left Me for LGBTQ+

and People We Meet on Vacation for Romance

[Mango, Goddess of Mangoes]

Red, White & Royal Blue for LGBTQ+

[StardustReader]

I recommend What If It's Us for LGBTQ+.

Yes! This is the one I wanted to nominate as well!

[Arundhati]

[Mango, Goddess of Mangoes]

:)

[Rushali, Head Mod]

LGBTQ+: The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo

Autism: House Rules

Romance: The Seat Filler

[Audrey]

Ooh House Rule seems like it would be good too! I read Funny, You Don’t Look Autistic, and I will admit that I learned quite a bit from it, but it was not a very good read. I feel awful saying that, but it’s not great.

[Rida]

My Nominations:

1. For LGBTQ+: Felix Ever After by Kacen Callender
2. For Autism: The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon
3. Romance: Act Your Age, Eve Brown by Talia Hibbert

[Austin]

1. LGBTQ+ : Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami
3. Romance : Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier

[Arundhati]

Can I suggest The Hating Game by Sally Throne for romance? It's not YA but really fun romance novel.

[Ashish]

Kafka on the shore for ROMANCE, if it's applicable

Sure but haven't you read it? This time we are only accepting recs which you haven't read.

[Austin]

Ashish, I believe Kafka on the Shore applies for both LGBTQ+ and romance. So you are correct.

[Austin]

Rushali, I already read Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier but that was 17 years ago. I just remember it as a good book. Completely forgotten the story. Will it count under recommendations? Kafka on the Shore I haven't read ever.
