Dragons & Jetpacks discussion

That time has come around again (feels like it's quicker every month!) - nominations are open for June 2020!

– Nominations will be open for 24-48 hours and during that time we will take in as many nominations as possible.
– After 24-48 hours (or once a mod feels we have enough nominations), 8 books from each genre will be chosen at random from the selection, using a random generator online.
– Only ONE nomination per person (EITHER sci-fi OR fantasy).
– 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 and a series list here)
– 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!

**Change in Rule from March 2020**
– No Seconding Nominations

Jennifer, Network Effect is book number 5, I believe as a group we have only read number 1, so the next would be Artificial Condition if you wanted to nominate that one?
