Dragons & Jetpacks discussion

It's everyone's favorite time of the month! Let's nominate.

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.
– 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)
– 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!

This appears that it may be self-published. Can someone look into this more for me?? I am about to leave for vacation so I won't have the time.

We could use a couple more votes in each category. I will be gone on vacation for the next 5 days so I can put the poll together when I return.

Oops. Probably shouldn't have.

I just read the rules & so I deleted my fantasy nomination. I wish we could nominate 1 for each.

I take the opportunity to alternate my nominations between fantasy and science fiction each month.

Can we get one more fantasy nomination just to make it even?

I nominated Aurora's End. Is there a reason it's not on the list?

Nope. Just missed it!

Let's try for 2 more fantasy nominations then please.

Scorpica by G.R. Macallister for fantasy please

Ok, I'll throw in Daughter of the Moon Goddess for fantasy to even things up 🙂

Do you need me to switch from sci fi to fantasy?

My fantasy nomination that I deleted was Sufficiently Advanced Magic

Looks like we have 9 of each now :) April's Fantasy poll had 7. Don't we usually go with 8?

We aim for 8.
