– Books must be published by the first, be available internationally, and available in print form.
– After 24-48 hours, 8 books from each genre will be chosen at random from the selection, using a random generator online (if necessary).
– Each person may nominate a fantasy book AND a sci-fi book, if desired. Only ONE nomination per person. Please include whether your nomination is fantasy or sci fi.
– If books are part of a series, they must be the first, unless the group has already read the previous book(s). You can see our previous group reads https://www.goodreads.com/group/books... or click “Bookshelf” from the menu on the right.
– No authors nominating their own works.
– No self-published or ebook-only books — we want our BotM to be accessible to as many members as possible!
– Moderators may use their discretion when accepting nominations. Keep the thread focused. Discussion about changes in rules can go to General Chat.

Hey Hope we did Empire of Silence in March last year. Here is the link to the discussion. Feel free to nominate another book or even the second one of the series if you fancy a binge of the series. :)

This seems to be the third book in a series, not sure if they are interconnected or just set in the same world..... any idea? If they are connected feel free to nominate the first one.

I did notice that


message 22: by Joseph (new)

Joseph (jsaltal) I know the Silver Branch is the third published but the first in the storyline. It's a prequel to the others. I admit it's hard to find. I did read the trilogy.
