Oct 2022 READER Nominations

[Teresa, Plan B is in Effect]

This thread is for nominations for READER category for October 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.

Because I’m enjoying my reread of Boundary by Eric Flint and Ryk Spoor, I’m going to nominate its sequel Threshold for our October read. Crossing my fingers that I’ll be able to resist jumping into it as soon as I finish Boundary.

[Cordelia]

I second "Threshold"

[Audrey]

I checked to see if my local library has Threshold and accidentally requested it, so... I also second Threshold.

Nominations will close on the 22nd. Unless we get another book both nominated and seconded by then, our October group read will be Threshold by Flint and Spoor.

[Joseph]

I've read Outbound Flight by Timothy Zahn and enjoyed it.
I'll nominate that because I've never read Boundry yet.

[Brandon]

I will second Outbound Flight.

Nominations are now closed. I count these seconds:
2 for Threshold
1 for Outbound Flight

Rolling random numbers now

[Teresa, Plan B is in Effect]

The random numbers have chosen Threshold.

Joseph and Brandon: please feel free to nominate Outbound Flight for November when that thread is posted.
