We've decided to try and get back to book reviewing. The latest post can be found here: http://bentspines.wordpress.com/2014/...
Arghh we're running late again, sorry to all you wonderful She-Geeks, we do all really love you but life is constantly working to get in our way!It's time again to open up recommendations for our next group read!
Theme for Oct: Open
Recommendations are open until Sept 30th - since we're getting a late start.
Here are the guidelines for recommending books for new group members and old hands alike:
1. Every month we read one comic book, one novel, and one manga. Comics and manga can fall under any genre, but please note that novels must fall under the heading of science fiction, fantasy, or horror (and any of their sub-genres).
2. Please recommend books that have not been previous group reads. You can see which books we've read previously here.
3. Be specific. Don't say "any book by ______". It won't be counted.
4. Please link your book in your thread so members can easily look it up.
5. Suggest a book that you think would be good for a large group discussion - that's the point of this group bringing us all together!
How voting works
We choose the top three in each category for the final vote from the 15th - 21st of the month based on how many votes it has.
1. All members can vote on a book/comic/manga they would like to read if somebody suggests it. Simply reply to the thread with "I'm voting for ______" or "VOTE: _____" and it will be counted. The books with the most votes get chosen to be put into the final three poll in the 3rd week of the month. Only comments with the word "vote" somewhere in it will be counted as such in order to avoid confusion.
2. Please only vote for a work ONCE. Multiple votes for the same works will not be counted.
3. You can change or modify your votes as many times as you'd like before the thread closes on the 14th.
4. In the case where two or more books are have equal votes, the book that was suggested first (as indicated by the timestamp on the thread) will enter the poll for the month.
All members do not have to read, recommend, or vote for all three genres - if you only want to suggest and read a novel, that's fine! We're a pretty diverse group here.
Image makes up most of my pull list. I get:Saga
Lazarus
Pretty Deadly
Rat Queens
Rocket Girl
Sex Criminals
Velvet
I sometimes keep track of them on a note app on my phone. It doesn't always work because my memory isn't great but when I remember it works.
I'm currently reading Soon I Will Be Invincible by Austin Grossman (sorry no link, on my phone) and although I'm enjoying it, it feels like it's lacking in something but I can't put my finger on what.
That's totally fine Jim. I look at your group as the wonderfully geeky little sibling of the She-Geeks.
I definitely prefer comics but open to books. I'm reading one just now that is ok but it doesn't blow me away the way something like Batgirl does.
I vote for Lazarus! I am loving this comic.
Welcome to the discussion thread for April's novel Gameboard of the Gods by Richelle Mead.
This is the discussion thread for April's manga
This is the discussion thread for April's comic read Wonder Woman Vol 1:Blood by Brian Azzerello.
Welcome everyone :)
These are March's reads so they are already up for discussion. Risen Empire is the novel.
Sorry ethuil, the voting closed yesterday. In the polls section you can find the three in each section to vote for.
Everyone excited for season four? I keep watching the adverts. I finally got my gf into it so have just finished rewatching. Seeing red wedding the second time had just as much impact.
Has anyone been watching the really short promo clips they released for series two? They look amazing and tense and have definitely woke in getting me more excited!
How are you finding the Canavan book?
Who's reading Akira with us this month?
