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 have fantasy as a main genre 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, I will only be picking the top 3-6 nominations to vote on in the final poll. The more nominations 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 in the past twelve months. You can view the books Faith & Fantasy has already read here.

Nominations will be open until the middle of November at the latest, and then I will send out a poll for all of us to vote for the BotM based on this thread's nominations.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask them below!

I nominate A Christmas Carol, Ultraviolet, and A Time to Die!



We've read Nadine Brandes' other two books (Fawkes and Romanov), so at least in my opinion A Time to Die would be great to read as a group.

EDIT: I changed The Horse and His Boy to A Christmas Carol.

I nominate Heartless by Anne Elisabeth Stengl, and A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle. Again, I'm also going to nominate The Legends of Elanimar #1: Through the Eye by Trinity Vinton even though it's too unpopular for people to vote for it.

I nominate A Soul as Cold as Frost, Heartless (Marissa Meyers), and The Goose Girl


and I second Ultraviolet.

The second The Goose Girl by Shannon Hale.

I second Heartless!"

Which one?

I second The Thief by M.W. Turner.

I will second A Soul As Cold as Frost. (I think 2 others have seconded it, so maybe I am the fourth).

I second The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner.

Can I also nominate it?? (I have read the directions on this post, but, sorry, I am confused.)

I think it's been already nominated.

It looks like Alison nominated it.... Am I wrong?

Yeah, I nominated it, so whoever also wants to read it can second the nomination.

I meant to say it HAS. Don't know where the "don't" came from. 😂

Sometimes I look back at what I've written on gr and shake my head at my typos. No worries!! 😜

I second The Thief and A Wrinkle in Time and nominate A Gentle Tyranny.

I second H..."

I meant Marissa Meyer's, but I'd also like to second Stengl's Heartless.

I read Elisabeth Anne Stengl's book and I absolutely LOVED it! It made me cry too, which is how you know it's good. XDD
