The other thing to remember for those who don't wish to read a particular genre. We only get the bonus points for 10 books. Easily done if the books are chosen ahead of time. I have 7 space opera's ready for next week.

I have no problem with reading Space Opera, it is one of my go to genre's. I know we get a limited number of re- spins and I might save it in case we get Cinnamon since no one else wants to read an LGBT related book.
If we would like to re-spin I will go with majority rule.

I just posted the book I finished which can be used for a I/G. The one I will finish by tomorrow will also be good for a E or G
