YAholics Anonymous! discussion

Let's open the nominations for next month!

Since we now plan to have two Group Reads per month, we're going to have two different categories as well. So when you submit your nominations, be sure to include one book for each of the two categories:

1.) Dystopian/Paranormal/Otherworldly/ect.

And

2.) Contemporary/Real Life

Rules:
1.) Any YA novel is eligible.
2.) One nomination per person, per category.
3.) If two people nominate the same book, each person's vote counts. So the book will feature twice in the list to give each vote an equal chance.
4.) Nominations are open from the 1st until the 14th of the month, and we will let you know which book has won on the 15th.
5.) The winning book is chosen using Random.org to make it completely fair.
6.) Please don't nominate a book we have already read. Check our list a Group Reads to be sure it hasn't been read.
7.) Only nominate the first book in a series UNLESS we have already read #1. In this case, #2 is then eligible for nomination! Any stand alone novels are eligible.
8.) Please keep in mind that recently released books, while eligible, might make it more difficult for everyone to get a copy. It might not be available at libraries yet and not everyone is willing to shell out $20 for the hard-cover.

Happy Nominating! :D
