Indie Book Club discussion

The time has come to nominate genres for next month.

Any nominations are welcome but I would ask that anyone proposing (and preferably seconding) a genre has at least one independent book in that genre in mind. Any genre must be seconded to be included on the poll.

In addition, a reminder that a genre (or book, subsequently) that wins because of brand new members who have done nothing but join and vote or 'sleeper' members who are similar but have been around a little longer may be disqualified.

If we get a category that has but a single book nominated then obviously we'll go with that. If we get more than one we'll have a vote.

The poll will begin on the 25th of this month.

Remember, kids, it's a very good thing to participate. Not only can you find good books you might not otherwise read, the more contributors we get in these threads the better the feedback for the authors. It'll help potential readers to be warned off bad books and encouraged to read a lesser known but good book.

The poll for the book selection, if there is one, will occur after the Fantasy Book of the Month vote.

Zombies? I thought I'd resurrect an old suggestion. (Resurrect, geddit?)

I'll second zombies.

Love zombies. :)
I didn't do the fairy tale retelling because I was never a fan of fairy tales to begin with. I might be the only one who has never read the originals to begin with. /blush

I'll nominate sci-fi, just so we have a choice.

I'll second sci-fi.

So far that's:
Zombies
Sci-fi

Still plenty of time until the 25th, so if anyone has another book (or books) in mind, do nominate the relevant genre(s).

Remember, kids, the more people discuss these things the better. It helps readers find books they might like, it gives authors more exposure, and if you contribute to discussions then people are probably more likely to give your own book a chance.

Actually as it's Feb I'll be cheeky and nominate romance as well.

If you have a book that's grumpy about Valentine's Day I might just vote for that... although that's probably unromance, now I come to think of it.

So, with a secondment from me, that's:
Zombies
Sci-fi
Romance

If anyone knows a futuristic story about the seduction of zombies it could tick all the boxes.

Haha yes.

I don't remember where I saw that, but I remember seeing a book about a guy who has a curse and turn into zombie some nights. I believe it's a romance because there's a woman who is determined to love him In spite of him refusing because of that, but now I need to remember what was the title to see if it fits scifi too. Darn Alzheimer.

Edited: stupid auto correct on iPad

:)

I suppose postapocalyptic romance might do it.

We'll it's not the whole world. If I remember the blurb right, it's a witch who did that to him. Anyway, I'm not even sure I could find it back. :(

My friend and I wrote a song long ago called You Stole My Heart (So I Stole You Leg) which was our entry in a musical comedy competition. Needless to say, we didn't win. I won't share the YouTube link...

There's an off-chance the vote might be delayed. It's unlikely, but there's some electrical and internet stuff going on in the next few days and weeks. My presence online generally might become sporadic, so if the vote's a little late, that'll be why.

We'll forgive you.

Right, got up early to get this done. It closes on the 28th, so get cracking: https://www.goodreads.com/poll/show/9...
