Dragons & Jetpacks discussion

– Books must be published by the first, be available internationally, and available in print form.
– After 24-48 hours, 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. Only ONE nomination per person. 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 (https://www.goodreads.com/group/books...) 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.

At the moment we dont accept self or indi published books due to ease of all the members being able to get hold of it in the form that they wish to consume it. Please pick another. x

As most members rely on libraries, these books are harder to obtain. They are still open to buddy reads and similar group reads.

Fantasy Best Served Cold (It's a standalone novel no previous reading required)
Sci-Fi Exodus
