Vote for a 2025 Prompt: Week Two

Vote for a 2025 Prompt!

WEEK TWO: September 9-15, 2024

Each Monday in September we’re voting on a prompt for our 2025 challenge. We’re tallying the polls from last week and will have the results for you soon, but in the meantime, we’ve got a brand new prompt for you to vote on!

How it works:

1. Every Monday in September, watch for a new poll. (Be sure to sign up for e-mails so you don’t miss it!) Each week we’ll be voting on a different prompt, and each vote will contain ten different options to choose from.

2. Vote for your favorite option. Pick the option you’d most like to see on the 2025 challenge. Each week, you have up to three chances to vote. Once in the Facebook group, once in the Goodreads group, and once on Instagram. You can vote as strategically as you’d like — voting for the same option three times or voting for a different option on each.

3. Once the poll closes, total votes will be tallied across all three platforms (Facebook, Goodreads, and Instagram.) Each weekly poll will be open from Monday until Sunday, closing at 9 p.m. PT. The TOP TWO picks for each week will be named finalists and entered into the final running for the 2025 challenge.

4. In October, the winning prompts will be randomly drawn from each of our two weekly finalists. This will take place LIVE on YouTube on Saturday, October 5th at 4 PM Pacific Time. The four winning prompts from that live draw will appear on the 2025 challenge.

WEEK TWO VOTE:

Week Two voting period:
Monday, September 9, 2024 until Sunday, September 15, 2024

Prompt: “Set in _______”

This week we are voting on the prompt, “Set in…” Below you’ll find ten different options to consider. The top two prompts from this week will be named finalists. In October, both finalists will be entered into a random draw. The winning prompt from that draw will then appear on our 2025 challenge.

For this prompt, we’re looking for a specific setting. Some of this week’s options are city-based while others are country or region-specific. Some options will be easier to find books for, while others will be more challenging. As always, when it comes to finding books to fit the prompt, get as creative as you like! Locations to fit the prompt can be fictional settings, fantasy-based, set in historical cities or countries that no longer exist, current countries or cities, etc.

When deciding which word to vote for, feel free to take your time to research book titles and see which one appeals to you most. You have until Sunday, September 15 to cast your vote! (Remember, each week you can vote up to three times: once on Facebook, once on Goodreads, and once on Instagram.) 

Set in…

1) A city with a population of 3 million +

2) A capital city

3) A country with green in their flag

4) A country with a population less than 20 million

5) Country name is three syllables long

6) The southern hemisphere

7) The northern hemisphere

8) A country touching the equator

9) A country with at least five bordering countries
