Voting

[Paula]

Welcome to the Voting for our February book.

You can propose book ideas for our monthly theme until the 10th of January 2022.

Please look at the ideas that are already posted, so that we don't have duplicates (it makes the work a little bit easier ;))

This month theme is:
Sapphic Fantasy

Please make sure, that the WLW relationships play a little bit more into the story than just as side characters.

I am excited about your book proposals.

Dance of thieves
Once upon a broken heart
All the stars and teeth
To kill a kingdom
The queens rising
Fireheart tiger
The jasmine throne
She who became the sun

Note: If found these shelved as sapphic but I will do some deeper research about these in the next days. This list also includes the book that were named by you in the comments. Please have a look at this list before submitting a book so we don't have doubles.

Hey there,
I put the last two books on the list. Fire heart Tiger is a little bit short with only 103 pages and the rest is not really sapphic so sadly I will not put them on our list but maybe they will fit a future theme :D

Thank you for recommending "The never tilting world". I put it on our list.

So there is kind of new criteria for selecting the books. Here a the rules:
1.
It has to be possible to buy the mobi and the epub version of the book.
2.
There has to be a print version under 16€ (if this book is reeeeaaallly new maybe I will put it on the list and you can decide for yourself)
3.
There has to be a print and also an ebook version available on Amazon and Thalia. I choose these two retailers because you told me in one of my surveys that these are the ones you buy the most from.
4.
There are other reasons why I will not pick a book for the next round (for example: doesn't fit the theme, reeeaallly bad ratings, problematic author, long delivery time)

I am really sorry if your book does not make it into the next round.
