⭒October 2024 BOTM Nominations⭒

[✨ tazannah - not accepting friend requests ✨, ⭒spiritual leader⭒]

This is the thread to nominate books! Please follow the guidelines below when nominating.

1) You are allowed to nominate a maximum of 3 books for each month's BotM.

2) The book(s) you nominate must be in the fantasy genre (here at Faith & Fantasy, both sci-fi and fairy tales may be included) and be clean or relatively clean.

3) Try to nominate books from Christian authors as much as possible. It doesn't have to have obvious spiritual themes, but please don't ever nominate a book with themes that clash with biblical truth.

4) If someone has already nominated a book that you wanted to nominate, please do "second" it! I will only be picking the top 3-6 books to vote on in the final poll, but the more total "seconds" a book has, the more likely it will become the BotM.

5) You can "second" a total of 6 books or nominate a total of 3. If you're going to both nominate book(s) and second book(s), you just have to make sure you don't exceed 3 nominations and 6 in total (seconds + nominations) per month. Hope that makes sense!

Also, please do not nominate any books that we have read recently. You can view the books Faith & Fantasy has already read here: https://www.goodreads.com/group/books...

While it’s not a rule, exactly, we prefer the books you nominate to have 1,000+ ratings, that way it’s more accessible to people, especially minors, since they might not have the money to pay for books. This way, the book will have a higher chance of being found in all of our library systems. Just a preference, though!

I will send out a poll for all of us to vote on based on this thread's nominations 5-6 days after today.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask them below!

Idk if reckless is allowed. Is the language in that considered minor?

I know the b-word was used, and I thought that was off limits, but maybe I'm wrong.

Well, I know for sure Powerless isn't allowed, because we just discussed Reckless, and I believe the content is about the same. I haven't read OUABH so idk about that one.

[Sharon, ⭒botm leader⭒]

@Bella—you are correct. Powerless isn’t ok for BotM, but people can request a buddy read.

[Elizabeth]

I second Welcome to Fae Cafe and Enchantment of Ravens.
