Historical Romance Book Club discussion

For the month of October 2025, we will be reading HRs that feature Medieval: Books set in the Medieval time period.

VOTING IS NOW OPEN!

Please vote using this form to vote: https://forms.gle/NeLhaogikM1VfcNA9. This requires that you put your Goodreads name.

You can vote for up to three full-length books. Here's how the points work:

> First (or only) choice = 3 points
> Second choice = 2 points
> Third choice = 1 point

To see which books are nominated or if you prefer to vote in-thread, check out the thread https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/.... I have also listed the nominations below.

You can view the current vote tally here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...
Please vote by August 31st!!

At the end of the voting period, the top three vote-getters will be the BOTMs. If we need to break a tie, we will use the number of first place votes, or if that doesn't work, the number of second place votes as a tie-breaker. If we need another tie-breaker, we will discuss in thread and add to rules in future.

Happy voting!!

We have had A Kingdom of Dreams as a BOTM before, (a few years ago, I believe), so never mind that it didn't make the cut this time.
