Vote for a 2025 Prompt: Week Three

Vote for a 2025 Prompt!

WEEK THREE: September 16-22, 2024

Each Monday in September we’re voting on a prompt for our 2025 challenge. We’ve got the results from week one on our blog post here and are tallying the totals for week two right now! Were your votes finalists?

This week’s vote may look a little similar to last week’s (yep, we’re voting on another setting!) But this time, we’re mixing things up. Instead of voting for a specific location, we’re voting for a specific decade. Ready to see what your ten choices are?

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 THREE VOTE:

Week Three voting period:
Monday, September 16, 2024 until Sunday, September 22, 2024

Prompt: “Set in _______”

This week we are once again voting on the prompt, “Set in…” But instead of a location, we’re voting on a time. 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 as prompt #50.

For this prompt, we’re looking for a book set during a specific decade. Some decades may be easier to find books for, while others will be more challenging. The book can be any genre and may be entirely or only partially set during that decade.

When deciding which decade 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 22 to cast your vote! (Remember, each week you can vote up to three times: once on Facebook, once on Goodreads, and once on Instagram.) 

*Note: The 1920s doesn’t appear on this list since we had the prompt, “Takes place during the roaring twenties” on our 2023 challenge.

Set in…

 1) 1900-1910

2)     1910s

3)     1930s
