I nominate Sorry to Disrupt the Peace by Patrick Cottrell, formerly known as Patty Yumi Cottrell (the name of the author on the book in my possession - they are the same).

[Luke]

I nominate Green Island by Shawna Yang Ryan (pub 2016, 400 pp).

[Marc]

Looks like two heavy-hitters to kick the nominations off---much appreciated!

[Bretnie]

I'd like to nominate The Remainder, by Alia Trabucco Zeran. It keeps popping up in places so I keep thinking I should bump it up in the to read pile.

[Hugh]

Thanks Bretnie
