Welcome to September nominations

– Books must be published by the first, be available internationally, and available in print form.
– After about 10 days, 8 books from each genre will be chosen at random from the selection, using a random generator online (if necessary).
– Each person may nominate a fantasy book AND a sci-fi book, if desired. That’s two nominations per person, one in each category. Please include whether your nomination is fantasy or sci fi.
– 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 here or click “Bookshelf” from the menu on the right. https://www.goodreads.com/group/books...
– 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!
– Moderators may use their discretion when accepting nominations. Keep the thread focused. Discussion about changes in rules can go to General Chat.

Melanie | 1698 comments I haven't read it yet. I own it and I'm pretty sure I'll like it but I just haven't got to it yet.

I already nominated it but I didn't know how to link books and didn't see a reply about it so sorry if I missed something.
