It's about that time again, folks. Make your nominations below, and remember the rules:

– 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 (a href="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.

It looks like Hidden Gnome Publishing is Will Wight's selfpub company. I'd really like to read his books though. Maybe suggest it in the Buddy Read thread. Please suggest another book if you'd like. :)

It looks like Orconomics is self-published as well. Also a good one for the Buddy Read thread? Please suggest another book if you'd like.
