This thread is for nominations for READER category for June 2022.

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.

Nominations will close on the 22nd. If we don’t have any seconded nomination, this thread will become June nominations thread, and we will just keep our April book for an extra month.

This thread is now for June nominations.

Richard | 60 comments I’ll nominate Eyes of the Void by Adrian Tchaikovsky (sequel to Shards of Earth). I realize there are some drawbacks - we just read book one, this just came out so no paperback (is that still a thing) etc. However, it seems like people enjoyed Shards as did I (I have Eyes ready to go in my Kindle as soon as I get to summer vacation). Plus this will keep the topic alive at least. I m happy for any other nominations-I’ve found a lot of good reading here so I hope it can continue! Thanks.

If the book is not available in paperback yet, please nominate it in the Limited nominations thread. Reader Pick has to be books that are available in paper as well as ebook.

Geetha Stachowiak (geethastachowiak) | 3 comments Hello everyone, I would like to nominate Shockwave (Star Kingdom Book 1) by Lindsay Buroker. It is available in paperback as well as ebook. It has an exciting plot and is so well written it kept me reading.
