YAholics Anonymous! discussion

Okay, so thanks to you guys I've decided that we should go ahead and have another Banner Challenge!
I'm not going to create the banner by myself, I need your help to come up with books for the banner!

So, what are some books that you would like to see on the banner? and would like to see in the challenge?


Try not to include too many sequels, as other members may not have read the previous book. 2015 releases are fine! In fact, I love seeing them on there, but try to avoid 2015 releases that come out at the very end of the year, as it may be hard to get a hold of them before 2016 hits!

If you need inspiration, just look at the top of our home page to see last year's banner!

Here's most of the non-sequel 2015 releases on my tbr shelf:

I just have to say, I HAD NO IDEA PATRICK NESS HAS ANOTHER BOOK! *adds to TBR list*

How about Blackout by Meredith Cardle ,The Half Life of Molly Pierce Katrina Leno and Invaded by Melissa Landers?

Dorothy Must Die, Cinder, The Lightning Thief, and Defiance were in previous banners. Yeah, I forgot to mention that we need to double check to make sure they weren't i previous challenges. My fault.

(Here's a link to the previous two years: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... & https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...)

The Rest of Us Just Live Here sounds amazing, but has not cover yet, so I can't add it to the banner.

If you still want to nominate books, you can! I'm thinking about having a poll to help decide, though I'm unsure about how to go about that yet.

You want to do a poll on the books they nominate?

Yes, but polls on Goodreads only allow someone to select one option, but I would like people to be able to select more than one (so we can have our 30 books).

(since Cinder was on the 2013 challenge)

Love Letters to the Dead
Story of a Girl
War and Peace
The Girl Who Played with Fire
Dreamless
Shadows in the Silence
The Iron Trial
Everbound
Bronze Gods
Aire

I decided to not include Everything I Never Told You, War and Peace, Game of Thrones, The Girl Who Placed With Fire, and Bronze Gods because they are adult books. I have nothing against adult books, but this is a YA group so...

Also decided not to include Magnus Chase because it doesn't have a cover yet.

Spellcaster (by Schultz), Blackout, and Shadows in the Silence were also taken off because they are sequels and the previous books were not on previous challenges. If you guys want to nominate the first books that's fine.

Anyway, we currently have over 100 books to choose from, which is more than enough. I'm going to close nominations soon, but I will take any last minute nominations.

Outside Hidden

The Book Thief
Angelfall
Throne of Glass
Ender's Game
The Scorpio Races
Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe
Finnikin of the Rock
Saving Francesca
Between Shades of Gray

I couldn't add Throne of Glass because it was used in the 2013 challenge.

Everything else is great! We now have an ongoing list of 124 books! We really don't need anymore but I'll give the rest of the night!
Nominations will close by tomorrow

I'll have a poll up tomorrow, maybe multiple polls based on genre, to vote on the books!

Graceling

Salt and Stone by Victoria Scott The Heir by Kiera Cass Crash by Eve Silver

Enclave by Ann Aguirre
I'll give you the sun by Jandy Nelson
Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor
Silent Echo by J.R. Rain
Pulse by Patrick Carman
Monument 14 by Emmy Laybourne
Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo
Skylark by Megan Spooner
Messenger of Fear by Michael Grant

I couldn't add Crash because it's a sequel. Also Shadow and Bone was already used in 2013. I almost didn't add The Heir, but as it's technically a spin-off, I went ahead and added it. Silent Echo didn't get added because it's an adult book.

Nominations are now closed

Okay! I've made the polls! They are separated by genre.

Contemp./ Thrillers/ Hist.
Vote: http://goo.gl/2CYNJN
2015 Releases
Vote: http://goo.gl/ywC99a
Para./Fantasy
Vote: http://goo.gl/PcRDis
Dystopian/ Sci-fi/ etc.
Vote: http://goo.gl/gfuFvj

Please vote for more than one book! I need to narrow it down to 30! So, you can vote for more than one book on each poll, just don't go overboard!

Also, please ignore the blank spaces in the Para./Fantasy category. Likewise, I ran out of character space, so some fantasy and paranormal books are in the sci-fi and dystopian category.

Anyway, I'll have the polls running for a week, then we can finally have our banner!
