June BOTM Nominations

We are kicking summer off with a free-choice nominating month. You may nominate a book from any genre so long as it is classified as YA, and is not already on our GROUP BOOKSHELF. All standard nominating rules apply (see below).

Nominating Rules:
- Nomination Period: starts May 7 and will stay open for 7 days or until we have enough valid nominations.
- You may nominate multiple books and the mods will triage the list if necessary.
- All nominations need to be classified as YA unless the nominating category specifically allows exceptions.
- Books must be first in a series or a standalone.
- Books must be at least 3 months old.
- Books must be available in print and not just ebook form. It is helpful to nominate books that are easy to access; so that members do not struggle to acquire the book if it wins in the polls.
- No author promotions allowed.
Next Steps: After nominations, the books will go to a poll to determine the winner.

I an going to nominate Truly, Devious by Maureen Johnson.

oooooh that's a fun one.

I'll nominate Made You Up by Francesca Zappia. It's was a nominee for Goodread's Best Young Adult Fiction in 2015.

I have not read it yet, but I suspect I will like it.

I liked this book. The premise was interesting and executed well.

I've read the first three in the series. The first three are one semester and is the big solving of the BIG mystery. There is a second mystery for the rest of the series, that I haven't gotten to yet. I'd carve outr some time to read all three. I had to know what happened.

That one's been on my TBR for awhile

I'll nominate because I need to read it for a banned books challenge.

Last call for nominations. I plan to set up polls tomorrow.

The poll is open. Vote here: https://www.goodreads.com/poll/show/2...

Voting ends tomorrow!

Right now it's a tie. If you want to change your vote to break the tie, go for it. Otherwise, I will randomly select a winner.

A Study in Charlotte and Made You Up tied for the win. I rolled a dice to determine a winner.

Made You Up by Francesca Zappia will be our June BOTM. Thoughts?

I think this will be an interesting one.

This will be are-read for me, but I remember how the book kept me guessing throughout. It is fully engaging.
