Christian Fiction Devourers discussion

Here is the nominations thread for October! A change we are making at least for a few months is having a single Book of the Month rather than a Book of the Month and a Group Buddy Read. We look forward to your feedback on this adjustment.

The book with the most votes will be the book of the month. 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 a Christian fiction book of your choosing. Do consider nominating an author that we've not read at least in 2021 or 2022. 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:

2023: https://www.goodreads.com/group/books...
2022: https://www.goodreads.com/group/books...
2021: https://www.goodreads.com/group/books...
2020: 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 2020-2022, 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! :)

I've never made a poll before, Staci . . . but is it possible to make a poll and then add last minute additions before it goes live?

That is my understanding and hope! I haven’t updated a poll after creating before.

That's really cool!

I nominate Within These Gilded Halls by Abigail Wilson.

It worked! So cool! voted 🙂

Yes! So glad it worked.

Oh.my.gosh - so many great books. I had a little trouble choosing!

Cool!

Looking forward to this one!

Love Karen Barnett's National Park books. Looking forward to this one.

Another book of the month I have already read. Sigh.
Good book, enjoy!

Can't wait to read this one!

do we have a thread for this book's discussion yet? 🙂

Sorry for the delay, Kate. Since I've been busy with editing, I forgot to ask Staci who was covering this month's read. We'll get it sorted out at some point today and get that thread up as soon as we can.

no worries! it was more of a case of I thought I had missed it somewhere and forgotten to bookmark it!😄

I don't see it, so I think it was the communication error on my part instead of the lack of bookmark on yours. :)
