Hi everyone!

Here you can suggest a book you'd like to read for the BOTM readalong (+ discussion) of August :)

- The theme/genre for this month will be "Fantasy". The book you suggest has to be a book that is a fantasy book :)
Need some inspiration? Take a look here: https://www.goodreads.com/genres/fantasy
- You can suggest one book.
- The book can be the first book of a series or a standalone.
- This thread will close the 26th of June, so you have still 4 days to vote on the poll.
- A poll will be created the 26th of June, including 6 of your suggested books with the most recommendations and the highest average ratings on GoodReads.
- The poll will close the 29th of June and the BOTM August will be announced :)

Books suggested until now:

Uprooted by Naomi Novik _ Strange the Dreamer (Strange the Dreamer, #1) by Laini Taylor _ Grave Mercy (His Fair Assassin, #1) by Robin LaFevers _ Ship of Magic (Liveship Traders, #1) by Robin Hobb _ The Blade Itself (The First Law, #1) by Joe Abercrombie _ The Prophecy of Shadows (Elementals, #1) by Michelle Madow _ Stardust by Neil Gaiman

You can also recommend one of these books (in case you aren't the one who requested it). This will increase its chances to end up in the poll, which will include 6 books :)

Thank you for the suggestion!
I think it will be manageable, if we have 25 days and we read 22 pages a day :)

Thank you for your suggestions! However, you can only suggest one book, as stated in the instructions above.

So please pick your favourite of these three, and I'll add it to the list :)
