Sci-Fi Romance discussion

We're cutting it close, but if anyone is interested, it's not too late to nominate 2 or 3 books to vote on for a December group read.

Nominating Song of Scarabaeus!

I'll nominate Married with Zombies by Jesse Peterson; but I'd be happy to read either one.

Maybe a novella? Any SFR novellas people have been wanting to read lately, something from a small press? Or does it being a download preclude some readers?

It might be an issue for some, but I guess it all depends on who wants to participate. I don't know of any SFR novellas, but I can do some research. Were you thinking of anything in particular?

The SFR novella, Breaking Chance by Kim Knox, is only about 278 pages.

Oh, it just seems like Samhain and Carina often release SFR or steampunk novellas? No? Most are probably erotic, though, and I know not everyone goes for that any more than they go for ebooks :). Kim Knox also has 7% and rising that's SFR and Satin Spar. I'd probably pick 7% and Rising since I've read a sample and it's kind of Terminatory with a female being the one sent back, if that makes sense?

Oh...here's the f/sf section at Samhain. Not to force a Samhain book on anyone -- the disclaimer being they're my publisher... http://samhainpublishing.com/category...
Here's Carina's sf page: http://tinyurl.com/2uhmsfy

Just a caveat about the story I suggested. I don't know if I'll have time to even participate this month. December is probably my busiest month of the year.

This is just the reason why I need to get a kindle, LOL! There are so many novels/ novella's that I'd like to read that just aren't available in paperback.

I'm not 100% sure I'll be able to participate either. Being that December is such a busy month for a lot of people, a novella might be a good idea. We'll get the poll together later today.

That's true, people will be busy this month. I'm glad you guys nominated the two novellas. It will give people more options.

A really fun short read Farthest Space: The Wrath of Jan would be quick and light for the holidays

Thanks, Nichole! I think that will be our last nomination. :)

And the winner is.....

Married with Zombies by Jesse Peterson

I'll probably read this one over the weekend.

Thanks, Michelle! Hm, I guess this will be your first zombie book, eh? LOL.

Michelle, are those Weiner Dogs in your picture? I love Weiner Dogs and have two.

Yup! Those are my three weiner's, which I'm absolutely crazy about =)

They're so cute!

Thank you!!

I finally started this one, and I was wondering if anyone else did as well. I haven't gotten very far, but so far (I'm only about 20 pages in), its moving prettey fast. I'm going to give it another 50 pages or so, before I post my opinion on the main couple. Just based on the little that I've read so far, I'm enjoying this book. But, I happen to like zombies, and anything with that 28 Days Later feel to it.

This one was a quick, easy, and fun read. I finished it earlier this evening, and I'm looking forward to reading Flip this Zombie when its released next month. I don't want to say too much, because I don't want to spoil the story for anyone else. But..... I really enjoyed reading about Sarah and David's marriage. It was nice to read a story about the average married couple. There were some really funny moments, and I think the author did a great job describing the more eerie moments, like things being "too quiet" for example. I'd love to discuss when others have had a chance to read it =)

C'mon people, I'm dying to talk about this one with somebody! LOL!!!

LOL! Where are the people who voted for this? LOL.
