Have you read it? I love it!

[꒰ lyterary lydia ꒱ {gfb 1000 members !!}, designer]

I love that book!!! Have you read the sequel?

[Emily]

I nominate My Father's World by Michael R. Phillips!

(also, side note, are there specific rules for books of the month? Like only certain genres? Or can it be anything as long as it's clean?)

[Elisabeth (Bets)]

I would say YA since that's the majority of our readers and definitely keep it clean and age appropriate, (Quite a few of our readers are 13 or younger so at least make sure it's appropriate for them). And try not to do books that have unbiblical teaching/views. Other than that I don't think it matters.

And we mods are allowed to just not include a book if we see it's clearly not appropriate for this setting. Just throwing that out there.

Ok lol!

[Tripp]

I nominate “and then there were none” by Agatha Christie

[Cari]

I nominate On The Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness by Andrew Peterson

[Cari]

It's more on the middle-grade side, but YA readers can enjoy it, too

[Elisabeth (Bets)]

I second On the Dark Sea of Darkness

[BooksNCrannies]

I third and fourth and fifth On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness! I love this book! (I think that settles what book is nominated!)

[Elisabeth (Bets)]

(only problem is, I don't think it's quite ok to do that... lol)

[BooksNCrannies]

Hmmm... Maybe I should have sixthed and seventhed it as well?... LOL!!

[Cary]

Another nomination/vote for On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness… it’s on my want to read list.

Are there rules for how many books we can second or nominate?
