And I just start by nominating The Black Prism by Brent Weeks for Fantasy.

I nominate Across the Nightingale Floor for fantasy.

The Thousand Names for fantasy

I nominate Grass by Sheri S. Tepper for Sci -Fi.

I nominate The Gospel of Loki by Joanne M Harris for Fantasy."

Unfortunately you can only nominate one book, either a fantasy or an sf book, but not both. Just let me know, which one of the two you'd like to nominate. :)

I'm new here, so I don't know if it's already won one of the BotM but I nominate Retribution Falls by Chris Wooding for fantasy.

I'll go for Where Late the Sweet Birds Sang for SF please!

P.S. Good choice Pendra, Grass is a brilliant book!

Good choice Elwen. I fell in love with that book a few years ago and backed a Kickstarter with a spinoff story by Lian Hearn this month.
I won't nominate a fantasy as I'll vote for that so I'll go with Wool Omnibus by Hugh Howey for Sci fi

I nominate Magician for Fantasy just because I ordered the full trilogy this week :)

I'd like to nominate The Blade Itself for fantasy

Can I nominate Wolfsangel for fantasy please

Can I nominate Ilium for sci-fi please!

I will nominate On Basilisk Station!

I will nominate The Mirror Empire

I'd like to nominate Mistborn: The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson please. :)

Great, Fantasy nominations are already full and we just need two more SF nominations before we can start voting!

And out of the 8 fantasy nominations I've read 6, that's a first for me I think.^^

Unfortunately we already had 8 fantasy nominations and the group has already read "The Final Empire" in February.
But feel free to nominate an SF title. :)

Can I nominate Leviathan Wakes by James S.A. Corey for SF?

Paul wrote: "Can I nominate Leviathan Wakes by James S.A. Corey for SF?"

We already read it in March, so it can't be nominated again.

Missed that. Sorry Mpauli.

Can I nominate instead then Idlewild by Nick Sagan

i'd like to nominate Snuff by Terry Pratchet for Fantasy

Never mind ! it's already closed :)

You can always nominate a Pratchett scifi

OK so Snuff for SciFi ?!

Probably not but he did write a few scifis early in his career

Ah, sorry about that! My mistake. In that case can I nominate Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson for the SF nominations? :)

Great guys, you rock! Within 19 hours we completed our nomination process and I have the feeling we have yet again a great list to choose from.
Thank you all for nominating, I'm closing the thread now and set up the polls. :)
