Christian Fiction Devourers discussion

It's time to begin nominations for April. The book with the most votes will be April's book of the month and the one with the second most votes will be a group buddy read. I look forward to your suggestions!

Just a friendly reminder that it's always a good idea to look over the guidelines if you've never nominated before.

Feel free to nominate any Christian fiction book of your choosing. Do consider nominating an author that we've not read lately or at least in 2020 or so far in 2021. Please follow the guidelines below and also make sure to nominate a book that released AT LEAST three months ago.

PLEASE REVIEW THESE GUIDELINES:
-Please do not nominate a book we've already read as a group in the last three years. You will be asked for a different nomination if you do. Find our shelves here:

2021: https://www.goodreads.com/group/books...
2020: https://www.goodreads.com/group/books...
2019: https://www.goodreads.com/group/books...
2018: https://www.goodreads.com/group/books...

-Remember that a book must be out for 3 months or more to be eligible for nominations and voting

-Any author is up for nomination, as long as the book you nominate has not been a group read during 2018-2020, however, try not to nominate an author that we've read this year already.

-If it is a book in a series that is not the first book, make sure you know that it can be read as a standalone and doesn't require the previous books being read to understand and enjoy.

-Please note that there may be more reasons that a book is not a good fit for nominations or group members as a whole, whether it be availability, cost, accessibility, etc. The moderators reserve the right to make these decisions. Please know we do our best in making these kinds of decisions, and we're all human. Your patience is appreciated. Thank you for your understanding! :)

Nominations will be open through noon CST on February 15.

Hi Natalie. This is the second in the series. Can it get read as a standalone or does the series need to be read in order?

I'd like to nominate The Bright Unknown by Elizabeth Byler Younts

The author of the month for April is Cathy Gohlke, so I will nominate .

Staci, Beloved Hope cannot stand alone. I read that trilogy in 2020 and enjoyed it, but the series grows from one book to the next.

@Staci: Please tell me if my new nomination works.

I voted!

voted!🙂

Wow, this was a tough vote!

Vote

Voted

I voted! It was easy because I just read one of the books in the poll so know for sure I will be able to participate if it makes the top 2. Don't be fooled by covers as I didn't like the cover of this book at all, but I liked the book.

Voted!

The Book of the Month has been selected!



There is a tie-breaker poll for the Group Buddy Read. Please vote!
