Hello Everyone,

Nominations are now open for our February 2021 BotMs!

A few 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.
– 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!

Sorry Kayla, Kings of the Wyld was a BotM back in 2017. Feel free to nominate another book.

I figured that it may have been covered before. Thanks for letting me know. :)

How about Empire of Silence by Christopher Ruocchio for Sci-Fi? I quickly scrolled through the D&J bookshelves and didn't see it. So, hopefully it I didn't miss it.
