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 be in the fantasy genre (here at Faith & Fantasy, both sci-fi and fairy tales may be included) 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, please do "second" it! I will only be picking the top 3-6 books to vote on in the final poll, but the more total "seconds" 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. You can view the books Faith & Fantasy has already read recently: https://www.goodreads.com/group/books...

While it’s not a rule, exactly, we prefer the books you nominate to have 1,000+ ratings, that way it’s more accessible to people, especially minors, since they might not have the money to pay for books. This way, the book will have a higher chance of being found in all of our library systems. Just a preference, though!

I will send out a poll for all of us to vote on based on this thread's nominations 5-6 days after today.

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

I nominate:

Cloak of the Light

I nominate:

Winter, White and Wicked

The Traitor's Game

Daindreth's Assassin (If that last one isn't allowed, just let me know)

I nominate Nova by Chuck Black!

(I got this book in the mail a few weeks ago and really really want to read it soon; it would be super nice if I could read it with y'all! Elisabeth, are you with me here? Let's make this book a winner!)

I second Bella’s nomination.

Well I am on the third Traitors Game so imma count that, and for the third I follow the author on social media and love her stuff. I think there is spice later in the series but not at the moment.

I nominate:

Our Divine Mischief (<1,000 ratings)
Swift
Mortal Queens

I nominate
A Drop of Venom

I nominate Once a Queen!

And second Mortal Queens, The Traitor's Game, Our Divine Mischief, and Nova. 😊

A Drop of Venom"

I don't think that's acceptable. I was just looking at it, and then I read reviews, and apparently there's a lot of rape so...

oh, sorry!

I looked at it on common sense and it didn't say anything about that.

I 2nd A Natural History of Dragons.😁

Well, maybe the review was exaggerating, but idk. At any rate, it mentions it right in the blurb.

Guys, as a reminder, only nominate fantasy or sci fi!

I think it should be ok.

This month has flown by! August nominations are already up?!

Seconding The Paper Magician!

Absolutely! It’s the first in one of his series, and this is honestly his best series imo. So yes! In fact I’d say it’s the one you should read first. Either this one or Cloak of the Light

Alright, then I second Nova, and that's all my nominations and seconds.

I’ll also second This Present Darkness

I believe I’ve nominated one and seconded 3

I nominate The Guild of Thieves
I nominate Sky in the Deep

I nominate Beauty from Ashes

I second Sky in the Deep.
