Indie Book Club discussion

A book must be seconded to be included in the poll. I'm hoping to get the poll up as soon as possible (nominations will close at the end of the 6th, so I'll put the poll up on the morning of the 7th) so get cracking.

Incidentally, although this is run along democratic lines I do reserve the right to become a dictator if lots of people join the group specifically to vote for a single book or genre. That's against the spirit (and the letter, now that I've checked) of the rules.


Rules are as follows:

1. Books must be available in ebook format or author willing to provide a digital copy to anyone who wants to participate.

2. Books must be available through at least one major retailer (Amazon, B&N, or Smashwords) or author is willing to provide a copy to anyone who wants to participate.

3. Self nominations are welcome, provided you have at least 10 non self promotion posts in the club.

4. All books must receive a second to be included in the poll.


In addition, I plan to tweet a bit about the book we read, using the hashtag #OBOTM (Other Book of the Month). If your book's selected do feel free to mention/promote this fact on your various social media thingummyjigs.

Obviously if we get just one nomination we won't bother with the poll and will crack on with that.

This is a collection of short fairy tale retellings, which has been on my TBR for a while.

Red Gone Bad

Turnabout Tales - Sub Rosa by Mia Darien :)
Sub Rosa

I'll second both of those.

So, that's
Red Gone Bad
Sub Rosa

Still time for more nominations, of course.

Just a note that this poll will be up for a relatively short time, as we've had the genre poll, a tie-break and will have a book poll. So do vote quickly.

Argh, sorry for this being late. Poll's now up, runs until the 10th:

Ok, it was a tie (embarrassingly, I forgot to vote. I did delay it in case there was a tie so I could vote... and then failed to do so).

On the basis it has fewer reviews and is less expensive (by 3p) we'll read Sub Rosa by Mia Darien this month, and Red Gone Bad in January.

So, there'll be no genre or book vote next month.

Fair enough, actaully that is a good idea for future ones. If it is a tie one goes one month and the other goes the next.

Yeah, I just feel slightly bad about slacking. Ironically, this is because I'm trying to work harder on actual writing.

*beats self with the Pointy Stick of Doom*

It is fine. Only a couple of people voted anyway.

How did I miss the vote?

Ah, got a 'moderator' thingummyjig next to my name. Hmm. Makes me think of Mister Motivator.

I don't know, Steph. I would chastise you and give you a thrashing, but I'm too busy thrashing myself.

I missed it too! I checked and it wasn't up then I checked and it was over. Good thing is, both books look good.

The other one will be next month I think so hopefully we can enjoy both.:)
