Nominations are open for the December Book of the Month! Traditionally, this would be a Christmas book, but doesn't have to be.

The book with the most votes will be the book of the month. I look forward to your suggestions!

Just a friendly reminder that it's always a good idea to look over the guidelines if you've never nominated before.

Feel free to nominate a Christian fiction book of your choosing. Do consider nominating an author that we've not read at least in 2023, 2024 or 2025. Please follow the guidelines below and also make sure to nominate a book that released AT LEAST three months ago.

PLEASE REVIEW THESE GUIDELINES:
-Nominations much be from a publisher of Christian Fiction (example: Bethany House) and/or be classified in the Christian Fiction Genre.
-Please do not nominate a book we've already read as a group in the last three years. You will be asked for a different nomination if you do. Find our shelves here:

2025: https://www.goodreads.com/group/books...
2024: https://www.goodreads.com/group/books...
2023: https://www.goodreads.com/group/books...

-Any author is up for nomination, as long as the book you nominate has not been a group read during 2023-2025, however, try not to nominate an author that we've read this year already. Self nominations are not allowed.

-If it is a book in a series that is not the first book, make sure you know that it can be read as a standalone and doesn't require the previous books being read to understand and enjoy.

-Please note that there may be more reasons that a book is not a good fit for nominations or group members as a whole, whether it be availability, cost, accessibility, etc. The moderators reserve the right to make these decisions. Please know we do our best in making these kinds of decisions, and we're all human. Your patience is appreciated. Thank you for your understanding! :)

Nominations will be open through October 15.

I am so sorry, Staci, but I need to withdraw my nomination. It will not have been 3 months published by 1 December. I completely spaced on that!

if I'm remembering the rules correctly, it needs to be 3 whole months by the 1st of the month we read it . . . so published no later than 31 August/1 September, but I will leave that to Staci's discretion 🙂

Hello. I did see that it was close to the three month guideline and felt it was close enough so we'll keep the nomination. :-)
