SFF Hot from Printers: New Releases discussion

Nominate a 2023 or even 2024 book - a novel, novella or anthology for the third month of the year 2024

The Lost Cause by Cory Doctorow

Also Prophet Song is auto-nominated from the last month

I am yet to decide to go with an easy option - Starter Villain, which quite possibly will end up among H/N nominees or a hard choice - The Big Book of Cyberpunk over 1000 pages w/o audio...

Is there a Small Book of Cyberpunk? 😉

I'm up for Starter Villain I just bought it.

I'll nominate A Study in Drowning (again?).

Lots of good options already. I'll throw in Thornhedge in case people want something short.

I'd read this along with something else short -- maybe Untethered Sky?

Yes, it is called Mirrorshades: The Cyberpunk Anthology :)

Okey. A note for all: re-nominating is perfectly fine

I may set these two short books as a single choice if you'd like

Any last nominees? The polls (2 like the last time I think) will be out tomorrow, Jan 8th

The polls are on. Two polls, the same nominations, vote for your 1st and 2nd choices and DON'T vote for your own nominee (if you nominated)

Polls:
1st choice: https://www.goodreads.com/poll/show/2...
2nd choice: https://www.goodreads.com/poll/show/2...

Sorry, I didn't respond earlier to your comment about this, Acorn. Does voting for Thornhedge also include a vote for Untethered Sky as a second book (or any other novella length)? Thornhedge is super short, only 116 pages.

I initially thought not because while it is short, all new books are harder to get in the library and T.Kingfisher is quite popular while Fonda Lee less so (sadly), so asking for two may be hard for our members. But I guess we can decide here (everyone interested - share your position on the subject!) whether this means one or two.

The results of the March polls:
1st choice Prophet Song, 4 votes in the winning poll and a total of 6
2nd choice Thornhedge 4 votes in the winning poll and a total of 4
