Hi everyone! We are starting something new this month. We will now have two nomination threads. One will be just the same as always, where you can nominate the book of your choice. The second nomination will be themed. In the future we will nominate and vote on the theme (and there will be one winning theme, not four like this month), but for this month I will give you a few to choose from. All of the rules from the regular monthly nominations still apply.

For your August themed BOTM, please make sure your book fits one of the following themes:

�� Has a sun on the cover.
�� Is set on an island or beach.
�� Has the word summer or vacation in the title.
�� One of the main characters goes on a vacation or trip.

Have fun coming up with nominations that fit the themes!

Sorry, Vasiliki, but we have already read this as a BOTM.

I'll nominate Skios by Michael Frayn.





Set on a Greek island, with one character going on vacation while the other is on a business trip. Things get mixed up and go from there.

No problem, Vasiliki. Feel free to nominate something else, if you'd like.

I nominate: The Fault in Our Stars

I second The fault in our stars

I nominate This is What Happy Looks Like

Hi Andreea - No need to second nominations. You can nominate something else if you like.

I didn't think of this before, but going forward could everyone add which theme their book fits? I'm finding that I have to look up each book and I'm kind of guessing at some of them, when it's not clear. Thank you!

Sorry, Colleen, but The Fault in Our Stars has already been a BOTM. Feel free to make a different nomination, if you like.

I would like to nominate The Summer I Wasn't Me

It fits the theme "summer in the title"

Summer Sisters

I nominate Maine

One of the main characters goes on a vacation or trip.

*Family trip every summer
