Beyond Reality discussion

Here's hoping your August has started out more smoothly than mine! I'm having a few technical problems here on Goodreads (and a few "not paying close enough attention" problems, too), but your intrepid mods will get things straightened out as soon as possible.

Books of the Month - For August, you selected:
—-August 2021 Science Fiction: Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir
—-August 2021 Fantasy: Brown Girl in the Ring by Nalo Hopkinson

There are a couple of starter topics up for each book, but please feel free to start more.

We also have our schedule set for the next couple of months:
---September 2021 Science Fiction: We Are Satellites by Sarah Pinsker
---September 2021 Fantasy: The Dragon's Path by Daniel Abraham
--October 2021 Science Fiction: The poll ended in a tie and the mods are conferring about how best to handle that. We will let you know!
--October 2021 Fantasy: Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman

Series news - We are in the midst of the Remembrance of Earth's Past series, by Liu Cixin, currently discussing the second book, The Dark Forest. We will start the final book in the trilogy on August 15. The folder for the series discussion is here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/group...

Lastly - Don't forget to drop by the "What are you reading in August 2021?" topic (after it gets restored to the discussion folder since I inadvertently deleted it) to share your picks, pans, and progress for the month! All genres welcome in this topic!

Happy reading and be well!!
Kathi, for the mods

Update on the October Science Fiction Book of the Month—one of the mods has withdrawn their vote from the poll and so Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes will be our October BotM.

And the What are you reading in August 2021? topic has been restored, so please chime in with your reading choices this month!
