August 2021 - Theme Nominations

[Peggy]

... and it's July! First half of 2021 is already over.

Time to nominate themes for our August group reads :)

Please avoid blatant nominations for themes that fit into the yearly challenge.

If you don't have a theme idea, you can second someone else's nomination instead, but that will count as your own nomination, and that theme will be entered twice in random.org - giving the theme an additional chance to make the cut.

Only 5 themes will make the cut and end up in the poll.

Nominations can be seconded multiple times by different people. If you second a nomination, please make clear that is what you are doing. E.g. If I nominate "Books whose title starts with A", you need to state "I second Books whose title starts with A".

Nominations end July 6.

Beach setting or beach scene on cover
Set in middle of nowhere
Mood in title
Reflection on cover

[Janice, Moderator]

August is for light summer reading suitable for the beach in my opinion. So I will nominate books that have a beach setting or a beach scene on the cover.

[Sharon]

I agree that August should be a “light” read. The beach theme sounds fun.

[Jocelyn]

When I think of August I think of watching the final summer sunsets on my grandparent's big front porch in the middle of nowhere.

I nominate books that are set in the country/boondocks/middle of nowhere.

Midwest as in the States? Midwest might mean something totally different to people depending on where they live.

[Marnie]

I recommend books that have a reflection on the cover…could be a person or scenic.

Yes, the States is what I meant by midwest but what I really meant was not in the city or suburbs. I'll remove that part.

I like the middle of nowhere. I second this suggestion.

[Christina ❤️M❤️]

I want to nominate a mood in the title. Examples- (mad, happy, sad, angry, ect)

[Margo]

I second mood in title.

[Renee]

I second middle of nowhere. I have several books in mount to be red that work for this

[Odette]

As I like the idea of a reflection on the cover, I second this suggestion.
