Following monthly BoM discussions, we might consider adding a 'critique lab' tag somewhere -:)
P.K. wrote: "How would that work, Nik?"Pretty much like it does now, however an author would know better what to expect as our BoMs so far often resembles critical assessment more than just readers' discussions ..
Okay, Nik. Is there at this time an approved or accepted model for reacting to a BOM, was I out of line by writing a semi-review? Should we just talk about it without being specific to its style, format or quality? Sorry if there is a protocol that I didn't know about.
at this time, their are no guidelines other than the group guidelines. we can talk about style, format or quality.although it is true that writers tend to comment more on how to fix things, on the whole readers are not any less critical. it is because of the current makeup of the group that we have more writers in the BoM.

Done. Pleased to see that the one I voted for was in the run off .
I modified the poll so that you can only vote for one or the other (I deleted the "Both" choice). If we have enough readers for both, then we'll run both of them as June's group reads.
1 day left to vote in the runoff!Even if you didn't vote in the original voting period, please don't hesitate to vote now if you want to read either of these books. ^_^
Coincidentally, both of these books are written by authors that reside in Australia. Writers from the "Land Down Under" are sure making their voices heard! ^_^
Frontier Incursion by Leonie Rogers
