Nominations are Open for New Series to Start 4/1/23

[Kathi, There’s no such thing as too many books!]

Our current series will wrap up at the end of March 2023, so I am opening nominations for our next series to begin April 1, 2023.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
Rules for nominating a series:
1. The series must be complete (as far as we can reasonably tell).
2. The series must be fantasy (I know, seems obvious).
3. The series should not be targeted mainly for middle school or a YA audience.
4. The series must not be one the group has already read. Look through the list of discussions or the group bookshelf to see if we’ve read it before.
5. Each member may nominate one series. Please tell us the name of the series, the author, how many books are in the series, and the name of first book in the series. If you want to add more information, please feel free.
6. Nominations no longer need a second to move into the polling as long as they meet the other guidelines.
8. Nominations will be open through February 26. We will then have a poll. If there are a lot of nominations or the results are close, we will have a run-off poll between or among the top vote-getters.

Nominations are open! Let’s go!

For my part, I can't think of anything acceptable to nominate at the moment. I considered recommending one series in particular, but I think the last time it was nixed as YA. So I've been rereading it on my own 😉

I nominateThe Girl and the Stars book of the ice series

Oh, wait a minute! I just thought of the four book series by Sherwood Smith. The first is Inda.

Mark Lawrence's Book of the Ancestor series, starting with Red Sister

I’m going to nominate thr Shadowmarch series, 4 books starting with Shadowmarch by Tad Williams. I have enjoyed the other books of his that I’ve read. He creates interesting worlds and characters, and while his books are often not fast-paced, the plots are often complex with lots of intrigue.

I nominate Nevernight Chronicles by Jay Kristoff
