Clean Bookish Babes discussion

Hey y'all! So since we are a very new group and all, we can't do a BOTM quite yet! I will be checking back on the group often, and I plan to start voting about a February BOTM on Feb 6th! For now, you guys can all head to the welcome post and we'll get to know each other!

okay!!!

Good morning guys! Soooo it's time to start our February BOTM nominations!! I decided to start this a day earlier because we have a good number of members and our mods all worked out! So we need some noms! Keep in mind:
ೃ⁀➷ No smut!!!
ೃ⁀➷ Can be romance, fantasy, thriller, etc.
ೃ⁀➷ Must be YA!

Please nominate whatever books you feel would be a good first BOTM! Just add them to this topic! Once I get 4-6 nominations with people's interest, I'll make a poll and we'll do the final vote! The final poll will come out on the 7th, and the book will be chosen on the 8th! The reading period will be 2/8-3/8, and we'll start noms on 3/5 probably! I'm so excited for our first BOTM! :)

The Dead Romantics or The Do Over :) (I’m in a romanced mood bc February lol)

i second the do-over!!

Dust by Kara Swanson! It's a dark YA fantasy with a message of hope

The Do Over sounds good to me ☺️

@Madelyn, that's on my TBR list.

Thank you all for your noms! Anyone else who wants to nominate a book please do!! Tomorrow I'll be posting the final voting poll for the whole group!

@Jasmine I just got Better than the movies and I’m so excited to eventually read more of hers!! They look so cute and romcom esc

That’s so cute!! My friend and I went to target and picked books out for each other and that’s the one she got for me and I can’t wait to read it this month!

I second The Last Bookshop in London
