Dragons & Jetpacks discussion

– Nominations will be open for 24-48 hours and during that time we will take in as many nominations as possible.
– After 24-48 hours, 8 books from each genre will be chosen at random from the selection, using a random generator online.
– Only ONE nomination per person (EITHER sci-fi OR fantasy).
– No books nominated last month may be re-nominated for this month; instead you must wait until next month to nominate them again. A book counts as “nominated” when it makes it to the polls. If it was suggested, but not picked for the polls, it can be entered again.
– If books are part of a series, they must be the first, unless the group has already read the previous book(s). (you can see our previous group reads on the group bookshelf)
– No authors nominating their own works.
– No self-published or ebook-only books — we want our BotM to be accessible to as many members as possible!
– Book nominations may be seconded in place of a suggestion, but this will count as your choice for the month. Seconded books will receive an additional chance of being selected in the randomisation process.

I took a look at this one, because it's from an indie pub, and it doesn't actually seem to be available anywhere. Unfortunately we won't be able to list it for nominations.

Could I nominate The Bird King by G. Willow Wilson for fantasy, please?

Ack-Ack Macaque for Sci-fi. It seems unique and like the type of books, this group would appreciate.

Out of Silence Plant

Rinn, I think this was supposed to be Out Of The Silent Planet, at a guess and attempt at translation.

The Raven Tower for fantasy

How about Harmony for SciFi please...

Before They Are Hanged for fantasy please. Thanks.

Valour's Choice for sci fi please.

I love this series & want more people to squeal about it with please!

3rd Grey Sister please. Although I've not read red sister yet I'm planning to very soon!

Blood Song for Fantasy please

Luna New Moon by Ian McDonald for science fiction please

I would nominate Orbitsville by Bob Shaw for SciFi! :D

Into the Black for SF, please.

I'd like to nominate Ninefox Gambit for SF. (I'm pretty sure it hasn't been read before.)

The Last Colony for sci fi

The Child Thief for fantasy please.

I'm hoping it's eligible (it's a dark fairy tale retelling, but still technically fantasy).

Ah, thanks for clearing that up, Wayland - didn't even make the connection there!

I was going to say no, this is self-published, but now I see 47north is an actual imprint of Amazon, and doesn't deal with self-pubbed books. Never knew they had an actual publishing house!

I'll leave these open for another 24 hours.
