Howdy!

Scott & I are proposing a slight change to the books to be reviewed and how they're chosen.

Since we have so many fantasy books sitting on the shelves, and since we are looking into reading/reviewing two books a month, we're thinking about making the first book "fantasy" (chosen by nominations & polls), and the second genre/book chosen by polls as well.

Does this sound like something everyone can get on board with? One fantasy book per month as well as one genre chosen by nomination and polls?

Brandy Camel | 66 comments Having more books to read per month sounds like a win to me, as well as not feeling like all us fantasy writers/editors have to fight over nominations quite as much.

Definitely on board!

That seems to be the consensus from what I've been told so far. I would still like to get as much input as possible.

Anyone object to reading one fantasy book and one user selected book each month?

Kriss (cabingoddess) Not me! Sorry I've been gone, I have been writing 10 hours a day.

Kriss (cabingoddess) As in I do not have a problem with that!

Patricia Lynne (pjlauthor) Sounds like a good plan to me.

So more than likely starting in November, we'll read/review one member-nominated fantasy book each month, along with a member-nominated book of any genre.

As far as I'm aware, for October, we're going to read Zero Sight, plus one other. I'm ashamed to ask this, but is Zero Sight a fantasy book? I haven't started reading it yet.

Like it because Fantasy has so much going on but there are more genres out there. e

I would say Zero Sight fits fantasy/paranormal. I think it blurs the line a little and can fit in either. I have read it, but I'll use this as an excuse to read it again.
