She-Geeks discussion

It's time again to open up recommendations for our next group read!

Theme for MAY: open

Recommendations will be taken until April 30th.

Here are the guidelines for recommending books for new group members and old hands alike:

1. Every month we read one comic book, one novel, and one manga. Comics and manga can fall under any genre, but please note that novels must fall under the heading of science fiction, fantasy, or horror (and any of their sub-genres).

2. Please recommend books that have not been previous group reads. You can see which books we've read previously here.

3. Be specific. Don't say "any book by ______". It won't be counted.

4. Please link your book in your thread so members can easily look it up.

5. Suggest a book that you think would be good for a large group discussion - that's the point of this group bringing us all together!

How voting works

We choose the top three in each category for the final vote from the 15th - 21st of the month based on how many votes it has.

1. All members can vote on a book/comic/manga they would like to read if somebody suggests it. Simply reply to the thread with "I'm voting for ______" or "VOTE: _____" and it will be counted. The books with the most votes get chosen to be put into the final three poll in the 3rd week of the month. Only comments with the word "vote" somewhere in it will be counted as such in order to avoid confusion.

2. Please only vote for a work ONCE. Multiple votes for the same works will not be counted.

3. You can change or modify your votes as many times as you'd like before the thread closes on the 14th.

4. In the case where two or more books are have equal votes, the book that was suggested first (as indicated by the timestamp on the thread) will enter the poll for the month.

All members do not have to read, recommend, or vote for all three genres - if you only want to suggest and read a novel, that's fine! We're a pretty diverse group here.

For novel, I nominate Kin. I just finished it and it was great!

Graphic novel, I nominate Black Hole


Manga, I nominate Attack on Titan, Volume 1

Athena, I'm pretty sure we read Attack on Titan. It was excellent! I would like to nominate Deadman Wonderland for manga.

THE HOBBIT by J.R.R TOLKIEN FOR FANTASY NOVEL...? Anyone agree?.......x

I agree with Sam on Rat Queens, Vol. 1: Sass & Sorcery, I've been wanting to read it for awhile. For novel, I suggest The Melancholy of Mechagirl and for manga, I suggest Magic Knight Rayearth I, Vol. 01.

Novel: The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman

Graphic Novel: Astonishing X-Men, Vol. 1: Gifted by Joss Whedon

Manga: Kingdom Hearts, Vol. 1

Can a second of a serie be nominated if the first is a read-of-the-month?
I saw the group already read Saga #1. So if I can I would like to nominate As a graphic novel the second, Saga, Volume 2 by Brian K. Vaughan

I nominate The Martian for novel.

I vote Magic Knight Rayearth for manga (I need a new magical girl series) and Astonishing X-Men for graphic novel (because the new X-Men movie comes out soon)

oooh, I second The Martian as it's on my TBR list anyway!

Oh the Martian is really good!

I nominate:

Novel
Kushiel's Dart by Jacqueline Carey

Manga
Soulless by Gail Carriger

Comic
Pride of Baghdad by Brian K. Vaughan (such an amazing comic)

Ready Player One

I second . I've read it and while I'd prefer in my heart of hearts to read something I haven't read, if many people haven't read it, it is very high on the geek-o-meter. If a number of folks have read it, I am interested in . I second the for graphic novel.

I really hope whatever we pick that people post something on the discussions. April hasn't been a real active month in terms of discussions.

Ready Player One is amazing!

How about . Have this one been done yet?

Novel: I second Kushiel's Dart

Manga: Alice 19th

Comic: Orchid

I vote for novel:sweet evil
manga:fairy tail

I nominate The first book of Pern by Anne McCaffrey for novel, this is a classic and it has dragons, what more?
And Loki Agent of Asgard for comic book as it has Loki, and a fairly interesting story.

I agree with Ready Player One so my vote goes there. I've been meaning to read that for so long.

I also second astonishing X-Men: Volume One

Not sure what I feel like with Manga though so I won't vote in that category

I just wanted to jump on here and say that I started reading The Martian, and it is frakking awesome. It reminds me of Wool. However, since I was going to read it anyway, I am also onboard with reading Ready Player One because I am due for a reread and I wanted to do that before Armada came out in October.

I second The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman for novel, and Rat Queens vol. 1 for comic.
