Christian Fiction Devourers discussion

Nominations are open for the August Book of the Month!

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 2023 or 2024. Please follow the guidelines below and also make sure to nominate a book that released AT LEAST three months ago.

PLEASE REVIEW THESE GUIDELINES:
-Nominations much be from a publisher of Christian Fiction (example: Bethany House) and/or be classified in the Christian Fiction Genre.
-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:

2025: https://www.goodreads.com/group/books...
2024: https://www.goodreads.com/group/books...
2023: https://www.goodreads.com/group/books...

-Any author is up for nomination, as long as the book you nominate has not been a group read during 2023-2025, however, try not to nominate an author that we've read this year already. Self nominations are not allowed.

-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 June 15.

I'd like to nominate . It's a stand alone; however, some of the characters are from the author's other Amish books. If needed, I can nominate a different book.

I will nominate .

Thank you for the recommendation. We read a novel by Amanda Cox in 2023. Do you want to nominate a book by a different author?

I’ll nominate (book 1 in the series).

I will nominate Hope's Enduring Echo

I'd like to nominate All the Lost Places by Amanda Dykes

It's not on the group bookshelf, which is easier for me to check than the three years' lists, but I'm guessing all of our group reads are put on the shelf.

Karin, actually, one of Amanda's novels was the book of the month back in September. Do you have another novel you'd like to nominate?

Staci, it looks like GR was giving you fits and posted your message multiple times. I took the liberty of deleting all but the first one. I hate when technology glitches like that!😊

I forgot about not repeating authors and only looked at titles--I just finished this one and like it best of the novels I've read by her so far.

I can't see her name on the lists you have linked.

Voted.

I will nominate -

David, the nomination period for books for the group read lasts from the 1st to the 15th of any given month. Staci will post the nomination thread for September soon, but we do not allow authors to self-nominate their books.

Our book of the month for August will be A Healing Touch by Suzanne Fisher Woods.
