I like Chris' suggestion, I would also suggest the Wise Man's Fear as I have been read enjoying our current group read.

I've been fancying a re-read of The Forever war by Joe Haldeman

Wise Man's Fear is another great suggestion as I reckon a lot people will want to find out what happens in it :D

John (johnred) I'm torn between these two, so if it's still OK to nominate two books, I will go with:
Tuf Voyaging and The Drowning Girl?

That's no problem John - always nice to have plenty of choice =) I've read some short 'Tuf' stories in GRRM RRetrospective collections, and enjoyed them.

When will the polling end for BotM? i'm off on holiday on thursday and i don't think the mobile GR app allows you to vote on polls. I think i'm back on the 26th...

Can I put Dark Eden by Chris Beckett up there, I bought it recently and it looks like a great read!

I'm on the Kindle version of the mobile app -- not sure how different it is from other android versions -- but I seem to be finding that you can vote on polls once you get to them, but the only way to get to them is if someone posts a direct link in the forum. The mobile app does not have the menu on the top right that lets you get to the group's polls.

Sunday 28th July - the later the better. If you haven't managed to vote by then, send me a message with what you want to vote for and I can take it into account =)

Jennifer (desdinova) I wouldn't mind book two of Kingkiller Chronicles.
I also recommend The Ship who sang by Anne McCaffrey.

May I recommend The Night Circus? I thought it was a truly magical books, and one of the best I've read in a long while.

Ooh! The Ship who Sang? nice :)I suspect I'm going to be humming and harring over the poll again this month! :D


message 16: by Sinead (new)

Sinead | 49 comments Think I'd go with 'The ShipThat Sang'. Have enjoyed Anne McCaffrey books, always a good read!


message 17: by Anya (new)

Anya (starsanddragons) | 10 comments I would love to read Night Circus, I've been meaning to for a while and haven't had the chance

I read The Night Circus for a (short-lived) book club at work, I really enjoyed it!
