November Sci-Fi/Fantasy Book Club: submissions wanted! ... NEW EDIT - Edit 4

Before modification by Rebekah at 18/10/2009 09:42:53 AM

Hi Rafonauts

It's time to organise our first Read and Find Out Book Club!

Make suggestions here for what you think we should read for November. Remember that it should be something that people are able to get their hands on and it shouldn't cost the earth.

We'll take submissions until Friday next week (midnight RAFO time) and then run a Quick Poll on it the Monday following (that's 19 October). Hopefully we'll be able to run that for more than one day but we'll see. ;)

We'll let you know the final choice on Thursday 22 October and then you'll have nearly a month to get reading - loads of time!

The Book Club will officially open on Monday 16 November, barring some kind of world catastrophe and/or Armageddon.


Thanks. :)


EDIT: As it stands, these are the recommendations we have so far. (I'm not going to include Other Literature this time, but will remember your suggestions for the next Book Club.) Feel free to make more suggestions, or add your agreement to one already there. You've still got 3 days to make submissions.
