Here we go again, guys.

The usual disclaimers:

– Books must be published by the first, be available internationally, and available in print form. Keep in mind that brand-new books may be difficult for our members to obtain right away.

– 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.

– 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.

We also already had Northern Lights as a book of the month as well.

Greg | 1478 comments Yes, the confusion with Northern Lights is that it goes by two titles, that one and The Golden Compass. But it's the same book.

Greg | 1478 comments I nominate The Neverending Story for fantasy and Hardwired (Walter Jon Williams) for sci-fi.
