Post your nominees in this thread for the June 2025 Book of the Month.
I have two separate themes: something old and something new where “old” is something published more than 10 years ago and “new” was published in the last 10 years. We’ll do two polls, and have two selections for BOTM. I’ll go to a poll on April 13th, so you have until then to post your book nominees. First come first serve. If more than 5 people nominate, I take the first book from the first five people. If less than 5 people nominate, I take the second nominee from the first person, and so on. Last month, no one else nominated, so all nominees ended up being mine. That doesn’t usually happen. The nonfiction theme was a little challenging. Please feel free to suggest books for the group … techno-thrillers … preferably at least 1000 ratings. Don’t nominate your own book, unless I ask for member-author books. Which I’ve done before and will do again.

Polls are posted. Go to the polls page. There are 2 polls this month: NEW & OLD.

Usually a I put a little more effort into the poll, listing title, author, year of publication, and a line of description, but with no feedback, I decided to keep it simple. Just the book cover link. Just did it on my phone this morning.
