Hi everyone,

A new month, so two new Books of the Month! This month, you voted for:

Fantasy: City of Saints and Madmen by Jeff VanderMeer
SF: The Braided World by Kay Kenyon

If you read these books, please let us know what you thought of them! Opinions, interpretations, questions, reviews, rants and raves --- all of them are welcome!

We also just closed the polls for our August BotMs, so we now have the schedule for the next couple of months:

July FANTASY
The Steel Remains, by Richard K. Morgan

July SCIENCE FICTION
Dying Inside by Robert Silverberg

August FANTASY
Mistborn The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson

August SCIENCE FICTION
Consider Phlebas by Iain M. Banks

AND!

We will also start our first ever SERIES DISCUSSION in two weeks. The series is the Miles Vorkosigan Saga by Lois McMaster Bujold, and we will begin discussing the first book, Shards of Honour, on June 15th. You can find the reading order for the entire series here

As always, we have set up polls for you to register your opinion of our BotMs. Please take a moment to vote, as your votes decide which books move into our Hall of Fame. We need at least 10 votes for a book to eligible to enter the Hall of Fame. The polls stay open for 3 months, so there's plenty of time to cast or change your vote. Here are all the current polls.

(By the way, the last open polls on the old Yahoo group - for the March books - just ended, so from now on all polls will be exclusively here on GoodReads!)

Finally, if you're not interested in reading our Book of the Months, please take a moment to let us know which other books you're reading in our What are you reading right now? thread.

Enjoy!

Stefan
