UGH SORRY I'm rubbish at remembering to do this on the 11th of each month. Not that it really matters, since we fill the nominations up pretty quickly! Suggestions are open until 20th May or until each genre has 8 books, whichever comes first. Please only one nomination per person (EITHER sci-fi OR fantasy). No books nominated last month may be renominated for June, instead you must wait until July to nominate them again.

FANTASY:
1. God's War (nominated by Rabindranauth)
2. The Goblin Emperor (nominated by Douglas)
3. Aurian (nominated by Freya)
4. Fated (nominated by Lel)
5. Warbreaker (nominated by Kaitlin)
6. The Weavers of Saramyr (nominated by Andreea)
7. A Natural History of Dragons: A Memoir by Lady Trent (nominated by Melanie)
8. Thief's Magic (nominated by Roger)
CLOSED

SCI-FI:
1. All You Need Is Kill (nominated by Andrew)
2. Brave New World (nominated by Rachel)
3. Under the Never Sky (nominated by Jordin)
4. Ringworld (nominated by Daniel)
5. Saturn's Children (nominated by Daniel [AotB])
6. The Seeds of Earth (nominated by Paul)
7. On Basilisk Station (nominated by Christopher)
8. Sundiver (nominated by Nic)

Andrew Eichholz All You Need Is Kill by Hiroshi Sakurazaka would be my SCI-FI recommendation.

Sorry, I don't know how to do proper links."


Do you see just above the comment box there's "add book/author"? You just click that to add links to books :)

@Andreea: I've just added the first book of The Braided Path, as I don't think it's fair to have all three as a choice!

@Portia: Afraid the sci-fi spots are full up, perhaps you'd like to fill the last fantasy one? :)
