Welcome to August’s Book of the Month Nomination Thread! (It's a little early, but I am going to be gone for a few days, so I decided to do it now.)

Please follow the guidelines below when nominating.

1) You are allowed to *nominate* a maximum of 3 books for each month's BotM.

2) If someone has already nominated a book that you wanted to nominate, please second it! I will be picking the top 3-6 books to vote on in the final poll, so the more seconds a book has, the more likely it will be selected for the poll.

3) If you want to nominate books *and* second books, you need to make sure you do not exceed 6 in total AND that you nominate no more than 3. For example:

• If you nominate 3 books, you can only second 3 books.
• If you do not nominate any books, you can second 6 books.
• If you nominate 1 book, you can second 5 books.

4) Also, please do not nominate any books that we have already read in the past couple of years. You can view the books Faith & Fantasy has already read here.

5) 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 mostly clean.

6) Try to nominate books that have at least 1,000 ratings (NOT reviews) on GR. This will make it more likely that our libraries will have them. (This isn't a hard and fast rule--just preferred.)

7) 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*. This is especially important due to the fact that F&F has members of all ages.

Some content guidelines:

• Limited or no profanity. If there is any profanity, it should be on the “mild” side.
• Romantic relationships should be healthy.
• Romantic relationships should not get physical “on the page” beyond what could be done in public. If there has been “off the page” sexual activity, it should be between a married man and woman.
• Think: “If Jesus were to be physically sitting in my living room with me, would I read this book, in its entirety, aloud to Him?"

I will create a poll for us to vote on based on this thread's nominations on or around the 25th. The poll will be linked in this thread, the General Chat thread, the Mod's Announcements thread, and it will be available from F&F's homepage under "Polls".

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