Yes, I'll approve it, on the "galaxywide search" basis.

Tammy AZ (tammyaz) | 1207 comments How about Good Morning, Midnight?

It is evenly split between space travel and earth but you have to read way down into the description to get that.

BTW - even if you don't approve, it's an excellent book & I highly recommend!

Approved. I was on the fence about this one, but digging into the reviews, it looks like the mission and mechanics of space travel do take up a significant portion of the book.

Melanie Greene (dakimel) | 816 comments I've got so many books with 'moon' words I can't place! Honeymoon, Moonglow - so close, and yet not approved.

On the other hand, I have a couple of picks for Book 2, so could you verify:
Version Control (which shows time travel in the genres right now) & All the Birds in the Sky (the description mentions the two-second time machine watch he builds)

Thanks!

Version Control approved.

All the Birds In the Sky, not approved. Digging into the reviews, I see there is a two-second time machine, but so are several other sci-fi-ish machines, and I can't find any indication that time travel is integral to the plot - the 2sTM just seems to me to be an early indication of the hero's genius, as he invented it in middle school.

If anyone's read the book and can tell me it should be approved, I'll listen, but based strictly on its Goodreads page, it's a no.

Can I get Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut approved for Book 2 under time travel?

...yeah, I'll approve that. It's not clear on the main page description, but I've read it, so yeah. Durrrr, I've already approved it for somebody else! i is tired...

oh so very much yes!

Shanna_redwind | 754 comments Would Skip Trace work for book 2 for space travel?


message 69: by Suzanne (new)

Suzanne (perletwo) | 1586 comments Yeah, looks like they spend a significant amount of time in space, coming home in the opening and going back out again by the middle.
