YA Bookaholics discussion

We are going to have six themes on the Theme poll that starts on May 15. But first, I would like to know what you think of the list that I have.

A color (but which one?)
Shapeshifters or Fairies
Mythology
Strong Heroines
Contemporary
Unknown (or Lesser Known)

I would like to know which color you would like to see on the poll and whether you would prefer to have the shapeshifters or fairies theme on it.

After, we get that settled, we can figure out which books you want to be on the Themed BOTM poll.

Gray? That's my favourite colour :D
And I like the fairy theme

That looks like a solid list. (I was gonna request the lesser-known theme return for my nomination).

I love the color grey, too, but if we're talking book covers maybe something like green? Probably gives a bigger range to draw from.

I nominate Contemporary

We're definitely going to have that on the poll. All six will be able to be voted on. Nominations for the books that go with each theme will begin shortly before the poll goes up.

For the color, I'll take green (it's more common) and I'll take Fairy as another theme.

The poll for the June theme should be up tomorrow.

You may now nominate 1-2 books for any or all the themes that will be on the poll.

(Crap Kingdom came out at the beginning of March, so by the start of the challenge it will have been 3 full months. Thats not too new is it? My library has several copies...)

copied from the May themed nominations thread:
Lesser Known Books
Any book with less than 4,000 ratings at the time of nomination
*please don't nominate newly released books (like in the last month) for this. The lower number of ratings may only be because of the short amount of time its been available.

Fairies:

Mythology:

Alright I'll edit my comment when I get on the computer :)
