Historical Romance Book Club discussion

For the month of July 2025, we will be reading HRs that feature Paranormal: Books that feature paranormal or fantastical elements.
VOTING IS NOW OPEN!

Please vote using this form to vote: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FA...
This requires that you put your Goodreads name.

You can vote for up to three full-length books. Here's how the points work:

> First (or only) choice = 3 points
> Second choice = 2 points
> Third choice = 1 point

To see which books are nominated or if you prefer to vote in-thread, check out the thread https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
I have also listed the nominations below.

You can view the current vote tally here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...
Please vote by May 31st!!

At the end of the voting period, the top three vote-getters will be the BOTMs. If we need to break a tie, we will use the number of first place votes, or if that doesn't work, the number of second place votes as a tie-breaker. If we need another tie-breaker, we will discuss in thread and add to rules in future.

Happy voting!!

Thanks Sandra. No worries!

And the winners are:

The Haunting of a Duke - Chasity Bowlin (14)
The Brightest Star in Paris - Diana Biller (13)
The Ornithologist's Field Guide to Love - India Holton (13)

The second and third choices are tied, since the tiebreakers do not break ties in this case (12 - 0 - 1), I chose to assign the order of 2nd and 3rd through alphabetical order. If anyone has anything against it, please let me know, and we will see another way to break ties. This one seemed the most practical to me.
