Please only vote for your top 3 books. Let's close the voting by January 12th, 2014 (this weekend) Also please only vote if you intend to participate in the group. Don't vote just to vote.
Since GeekDavid started the group but hasn't posted in several weeks, I decided to take the initiative and move this forward. If he comes back, I'll be happy to relegate direction of the group back to him. Here was his original plan:
So let's keep this in mind when voting. Instead of doing a poll, just comment your choice below.
Stormdancer by Jay Kristoff
Only in Death by Dan Abnett (Warhammer 40K)

Looking at the calendar, and bearing in mind the holiday season, I'm gonna suggest this time frame... we'll accept nominations until the end of the year, then we'll take the first couple of weeks of January to vote. The book discussion will start February 1st, so you'll have a little over a month to read it. After the January vote is over we'll also open up new nominations for books be discussed during March.
The theme for the first set of nominations is... stories that mix magic and technology. Those of us who have limited means and who have e-readers would like to ask everyone to consider price, general availability in libraries, and availability in e-book format when making your nominations.
