Vote for a 2025 Prompt: Week One

Vote for a 2025 Prompt!

WEEK ONE: September 2-8, 2024

It’s September! Which means that we’re heading to The 52 Book Club polls!

Every fall, we start prepping for the launch of the following year’s challenge. It’s hard work wrapped up in a lot of fun, and we love getting you involved in that process too. While we’ve locked in most of our 2025 prompts, we still have four open spots that we need you to vote on!

Each Monday in September we will open the polls and vote on a specific prompt for our 2025 challenge. You can find all the details (including how to vote and which prompt we’re voting on first) below! The top two votes from each week will be entered into a live draw at the beginning of October, so don’t forget to pick your favorites and cast your vote now to have a say in next year’s challenge!

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 ONE VOTE:

Week One voting period:
Monday, September 2, 2024 until Sunday, September 8, 2024

Prompt: “Related to the word _______”

This week we are voting on the prompt, “Related to the word…” 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, you’ll choose a book that is somehow associated with or related to the winning word. The word can be connected to the title, cover design, theme, plot, characters, author, etc. There are some unique words in the running for 2025, so regardless of the winning word, this prompt will be an opportunity to get creative!

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 8 to cast your vote! (Remember, each week you can vote up to three times: once on Facebook, once on Goodreads, and once on Instagram.)
