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 already read. You can view the books Faith & Fantasy has already read recently: 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!

I nominate
Beyond the Wind Music (less then 1,000 ratings)
Cloak of the Light

I nominate:
Wishtress
Sky in the Deep
The Burning Sky

sure

I nominate:

The Traitor's Game

Secrets in the Mist (<1,000 ratings)

Dagger's Sleep: A Retelling of Sleeping Beauty (<1,000 ratings)

Almost every Christian fantasy book has less that 1,000 ratings, apparently.

Almost ever..."

She said she prefers it to have more then 1,000. Not 10,000.

Oh, okay.

Unfortunately, it's still true. They all seem to have under 1,000 ratings.

But last I knew Dagger's Sleep was on KU. I don't have KU tho, and I'm not sure if it still is or not. And the audiobook is available through some libraries on Hoopla. Secrets in the Mist might be on Hoopla too. I think it is available through my library.

I also want to nominate The City of Ember

My nominations are gone now

I second wishtress

I second Cloak of the light (that was one of the books I wanted to be BOTM this month)

I nominate Mortal Queens (the other book I wanted to be BOTM this month).

You can nominate no more than 3, but if you don't nominate any, you can second up to 6. Your total nominations AND seconds together cannot exceed 6. Your nominations cannot exceed three.

Ava wrote: "I'll 7th shadowcast."

I think we only need six to guarantee a book makes the poll, right? So, you could second something other than Shadowcast if you want.

Shekinah is MOTM right? So, all her nominations and seconds will be tripled. Has she already used them all?

I second Shadowcast, Swift, and Mortal Queens :)

Yep!
Hmm I’ll check

Bella wrote: "Shekinah is MOTM right? So, all her nominations and seconds will be tripled. Has she already used them all?"

She has three more seconds or three more nominations

I would really like if Secrets in the Mist won.

Mortal Queens is good, but I just read it lol. But I will def join in the discussion if it wins. I might need a refresh on the name of my least fav character for the questions thread tho lol.
