Hello members!

It's time to start preparations for the 2012 YA Bloggers Book Battle. Last year, you all helped vote for the theme, and it worked really well, so I'd like to do it again this year.

So what kind of battle theme would you like to see? Our year was a debut author battle, last year was overlooked books. Do you want to repeat a theme, or see something new.

You can submit your ideas in this forum, or if you'd prefer to remain anonymous you can use this Google form to submit your suggestions:

Looking forward to another great year!

I know I am horrible about judging a book by its cover and sometimes I am sure I have missed a great book! :)

Ooh, good suggestion! I am totally guilty of the same thing.

Keep the ideas coming!

Natalie (liedermadchen) | 2 comments How about books with basis in myths and legends? That would include fairytales, Greek myths, folklore, Arthurian re-tellings and sequels, etc. Lately there have been a lot of interesting new ones. :)


Stormi (StormReads) (bmreviewsohmy) | 5 comments I like that idea too! :)

Natalie (natalierenae) I new like the myths and legends "retellings" kind of idea! I'll try to think of others to throw out there as well!

The myth retelling is interesting too. You guys are so great. I never would have come up with all these myself. :)

Jasmyn (jasmyn9) I really like the myths and legends idea - helps that I really like to read that type of book, too.

Edith (crazyquilts) What about the Book Academy Awards which selects the best Female/Male Lead Character, Best Male/Female Supporting Characters?

That is a perfect idea! I would also like to see more male MC, because girls can't be the only gender to have issues, right?!?
