have we already done the quantum magician? maybe i found out about it here ;)
Mod
We discussed a book named Quantum Magician in April 2020. Is that the one you mean? The Quantum Magician by Derek Künsken
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
ah yes, i am generally about a year (or more) behind... thank you. i just finished artifact space, have we discussed that as well? maybe i should be asking if there is a searchable list. my apologies. (not that artifact space is that good... should be called "got a lotta tropes space)

You can sort it by a column then scroll until you find where it would be alphabetically.
An easier way if you are posting from a browser instead of the app is to click the “add book/author” link when making a comment on the thread, search for the book and add it to your comment that way. Then you can either just let me check it or you can refresh the page and on the side there should be a link for it under “Books mentioned in this topic” - just click the “other topics” link next to it and see if we have a discussion thread for it already.
I nominate Beyond The Hallowed Sky by Ken Macleod for February 2022 reads
Mod
I’m still not seeing ebook editions available for this book. Please nominate it on the Limited thread instead of here.

I would nominate 2101:Spark of Hope. I am the author so I respect if that disqualifies my nomination. The book was only very recently published.
Mod
Nominating your own book is fine as long as it meets the criteria. I see paperback available from both Amazon and BN. I see ebook from Amazon. Is the ebook available other than from Amazon? If not, please nominate it on the Limited thread instead.

I would like to nominate "The Quantum Garden"
- we did read "The Quantum Magician" awhile back and I really enjoyed it so . . . ( Also note this is unrelated to "The Quantum Thief" our last Reader's Pick - which I also enjoyed, but this is a different "quantum").
Also, I second Assassin's Orbit. I don't wanna sabotage my own nomination, but this looks interesting too and I would really like to see a Reader's Pick this month.
Mod
Assassin's Orbit by John Appel. Nominated by Leticia. Seconded by Richard.
The Quantum Garden by Derek Künsken. Nominated by Richard. Awaiting seconds.

READER books need to be
* currently in print in either hardback or paperback (or both). Requiring a special order from a store or website counts, but not if the book is only available used.
* currently available in multiple ebook formats, from multiple vendors
* Space Opera, which means a spaceship has to be involved in the story somewhere.
* If it is part of a series, it needs to be suitable to being read without having read other books in the series.
* Please no blatantly erotic books, as some of our members are not full adults yet.
RULES:
* you may nominate one book on this thread.
* you may second as many nominations as you like on this thread.
* it is okay to nominate the same book on more than one nomination thread, as long as it meets the criteria
* books we already have on our bookshelf will be disqualified if they were added less than two years ago
* If a book you nominate or second is selected, you are expected to post at least one comment about it on the thread about the book.
* In about two weeks I will draw a book randomly, with each second being one raffle ticket for the book. That is, a book with three seconds (so four of us want it) will get three chances in the pool.
It is likely helpful if you know something about a book that has been nominated if you mention it in this thread, whether it is for or against the book.
