May BOTM Nominations

[Rushali, Head Mod]

Hello!

1. Theme: The One From your TBR.
Suggest a book that is on your Tbr waiting to be read, which you couldn't read due to some reason.

2. Genre: Sci-Fi
Suggest a book that fits the genre.

Suggest 1 book each for the above listed themes.
---->Please check the Bookshelf before nominating, in case it has already been read by the group.

Before nominating, take note of the following points:-

1. Suggest only one book per theme i.e, you can suggest 2 books, one for each theme.
-->If the book you wanted to nominate, has already been nominated by someone else, you can second that nomination.
--> Also make sure, that the book you are nominating fits the themes chosen. In the case of the genre, it must be listed on the book page.

2. Please suggest only those books you'll be genuinely interested in reading or rereading in May. (view spoiler)[We have observed that books suggested by the members are the ones they have already read and if and when that book is chosen through a poll, those members do not participate in the discussion.
The idea of BOTM is to read and discuss books together in the group. (hide spoiler)]

3. Link the books you suggest and if you are using the app or can't link it, include the name of the author with the book name. Some books have duplicate titles.

4. We expect you to participate in the discussion if your suggested book is chosen for the month.

The BOTMs for May will be decided through a group poll according to the suggestions received here.

1. Ok so I've been putting this off for some time and I would love to read this with the group (they don't have to be just YA right), so I nominate Babel by R.F. Kuang. I loved the Poppy Was trilogy to pieces but she sure is intense. I need support lol

2. This has also been on my tbr for ever, so I'd say Winter's Orbit by Everina Maxwell for the scifi! Reviews are stellar for this one

[Rida]

That's a great suggestion Fabitha!

I suggest Babel too for the theme.
For sci-fi, I suggest Project Hail Mary

[Fabitha]

@Rida thank you! I am also interested in Project Hail Mary!

[Radha]

For theme of the month: I'd suggest The Secret History by Donna Tart

For the sci-fi genre I'd recommend: Gideon The ninth
