I know but I like the idea. :)

For books that fit the theme, I'll suggest (with the caveat that I've already read them)
Like Me: Confessions of a Heartland Country Singer
Maplecroft

Outside the theme, I'll nominate

The Armored Saint
Brimstone

Any thoughts on the next pick?

[Scott]

Are we going to have another pick?

[Rebecca]

Hi Scott and thanks for the nudge! I was out of the country for most of the last month and I realized I totally dropped the ball on our last pick! 😶 Back now and ready for more reading. Looking at the calendar to get more organized for the rest of the year.

August/September - Ideas? Noms?
October - I mean, we have to read Felicia's new book, dropping 10/1! Right??????
November/December - Let's choose a theme soon so we can vote in a book well in advance :)

By the way I've just dusted off my discord account (inthecauseofscience) to join Felicia's server as it seems like that's where the Hooman community is at these days!

Just to throw up some nominations for next month

Skyward by Brandon Sanderson
The Armored Saint by Myke Cole
Brimstone by Cherie Priest
Romanov by Nadine Brandes

Yeah, I think Felicia's new book is a given for October

For Nov./Dec. themes. Family/Holidays? Historical? 2019 award winners/Best of 2019?

Thanks for the nominations Scott! Brimstone looks particularly intriguing, love reading about the post WW1 era. To add some scifi to your fantasy options I nominate Sleeping Giants. Apparently the audiobook is great, with a full cast.

Thanks! Yeah, I first heard about it after I read Mary Robinette Kowal's Ghost Talkers, so it really piqued my interest lol. Plus I've really enjoyed the other books I've read by Cherie.

I just read the description. That sounds really interesting.

When do we want to vote?
