Repost for @Soubhiville

#AuthorAMonth readers (and anyone else who is interested)

It‘s time to nominate authors for next year‘s reading list!

I will build the poll in 2-3 weeks. Nominate anyone you‘d like, but I‘ll remove all authors we‘ve already read from the poll list.

Authors can write any genre, but must have several books published.

I‘m looking forward to seeing who you suggest!

BookwormAHN Okay, so I may be the only one who hasn't read this but how about

daena I realized my first choice was more of the steampunk genre. I deleted that nomination and went with another book I have on my TBR.

Space Opera

TheSpineView I really want to read The Fifth Wave but it comes in at 512 pages so.... instead Old Man's War by John Scalzi

Old Man's War

wordslinger42 I agree with @TheSpineView

Old Man's War

daena @TheSpineView that sounds great too! 6y

Eyelit

Space Opera

bookandcat Sleeping Giants, Old Man's War, Space Opera all sound good to me too! The 5th Wave sounds good too and is a YA book so is probably a quicker read. (BTW I've already read The Martian and highly recommend it.) 6y

MeganAnn @Laughterhp that one sounds quite good! I‘ve already read Sleeping Giants and enjoyed it. I nominate:

An Unkindness of Ghosts

BethM I‘d love to join in on this! I nominate

The Fold: A Novel

RainyDayReading If length isn‘t a factor (because it‘s a little long) I‘ll throw Leviathan Wakes into the mix as well because....it sounds good and why not haha.

Leviathan Wakes

Riveted_Reader_Melissa How about

We Are Legion (We Are Bob)

AnneFindsJoy Lots of good books nominated already, but I‘ll add

Dark Matter

BookNerd9906

Ascending

RJHowe I would think Space Opera might be a good choice 6y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @BookwormAHN That‘s a great book, I‘d definitely reread that one anytime. 6y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @daena Are you the one that originally posted about The Black God‘s Drums and them removed it? If so, it‘s on kindle sale today for $1.99 in the US if you are interested (& in the US). 6y

daena @Riveted_Reader_Melissa I did! But later realized it don‘t fit the sci-fi genre. But I do have it on my kindle! Thanks! 6y

So if we are going to have something to read in Jan/Feb I should probably get things rolling 😅

It's time for nominations #BBBBC! We are starting 2019 with Fantasy! (Our novella unintentionally kept with our pattern).

1 nomination per person! No sequels unless standalone! Must be available in ebook and paperback! Deadline is Dec. 10th! I will start voting ASAP so we can buy the book ahead of time if we want.

Angeles The poppy war 6y

LittleBug Maybe something by Brandon Sanderson? Such as

Mistborn: The Final Empire

TheSpineView I have several on my TBR list. The Novice, The Queen of the Tearling, Huntress, Throne of Glass, and Carve the Mark 6y

TheSpineView @LittleBug This would be a good one. 6y

BookwormAHN

Hounded

daena This a standalone title. Been wanting to read it for a long time.

Gork, the Teenage Dragon: A novel

Caroline2

The Queen of the Tearling

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @BookwormAHN I loved that series, so much fun. 6y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Spinning Silver....or if that‘s too new for people to easily request, maybe Uprooted

Spinning Silver

daena @Riveted_Reader_Melissa I know I nominated already, but I would love to read uprooted or spinning silver. Both are sitting on my shelf begging to be read. 6y

daena @LittleBug I feel the same way about mistborn. 6y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @daena Yep I have Mistborn and Spinning Silver waiting for me already, but knowing me I‘m sure I‘ll be adding a bunch of the nominees to me TBR wish list too. 6y

TheSpineView @Riveted_Reader_Melissa I have Spinning Silver and Uprooted on my TBR list also. No matter how hard I try the list only expands. You would think it should shrink every once in a while. 6y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @TheSpineView Nope, I‘m always adding faster than I read, descriptions are shorter to read than books....and Litsy hasn‘t helped at all with that! LOL 6y

TheSpineView @Riveted_Reader_Melissa Totally 😋true! 6y

daena @TheSpineView @Riveted_Reader_Melissa it‘s never ending isn‘t it! Right there with you! 6y

TheSpineView @daena 😊 6y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa I think you‘d like this group @Gezemice 6y

Gezemice @Riveted_Reader_Melissa Oh, so cool, thank you, Melissa! Lovely! What a great group! We wanted to read Mistborn in January, didn‘t we? (edited) 6y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Yes. We actually got 2 votes if you see the other post I tagged you in. I did vote for them as one of my 2 votes. Figuring if it win I could read it for both this group and with you and if not, I‘d read it with you when you got around to it anyway. 6y

The Nomination: A Novel of Suspense | William G. Tapply

Today I started reading through nominations and I wanted to address a concern about "favorite Litten" being a popularity contest. First off, all these awards are a popularity contest. Secondly, as the person who wrote this, the idea was to share to users and others great people to follow. There are quite a few people who were nominated that I haven't seen and I am excited to look them up. I see it no differently than when we welcome a new ??

LibrarianRyan Person and suggest people to follow. It's about building a community of bookish people, not voting for the school bully. Next month @BarbaraTheBibliophage and I are going to do a Littens Awards with categories like Cats of Litsy or Best Food Pic. Once again to share with the community as a whole what amazing people are here. As always voting is optional and so is nominations. Please take this "event" in the fun spirit that is intended. 7y

KOTK Whilst I would love to nominate I am so slow that it is 2018 and beyond before I get to any books from 2017 unless it's one I have been dying for. Am I just being weird or slow? (edited) 7y

GypsyKat I can never choose a favorite anything, much less a person! But I do agree with you that we should focus more on Litsy as a community more than anything else. 7y

See All 8 Comments

LibrarianRyan @KOTK neither. I am the same way. 7y

benchley1 @KOTK same. I think i read about 5 books from this year of my nearly 110 read. 7y

KOTK @benchley1 @LibrarianRyan phew. Glad it is not just me. The "to read" list gets bigger every year! Loving this new app as adding books daily. Just need to find a way to not have to work 7y

LeahBergen I am such a backlist reader that I‘m not sure if I read ANY books published in 2017. 😂😂 7y

ValerieAndBooks @LeahBergen agree with you 😂! So I ended up not voting at all. 7y

@LibrarianRyan is brilliant, and is organizing the #LitsyAwards 🏆

I am clearly not so much a ‘new release‘ kind of girl... I‘ve read 187 books so far this year, and only 11 of them were published in 2017. Still, some of them were very good, and I made a few nominations!

BarbaraTheBibliophage I‘m with you - always late to the party! But I had a few to contribute as well. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻📚📚📚 7y

Yeah_I_Read Daaaammmmnnnnn 187?!?! No wonder your brain is sprained 😂😂😂. Jk that‘s AMAZING!! 7y

sprainedbrain @Yeah_I_Read You‘re not wrong though... 😂 7y

Some more news, @BarbaraTheBibliophage and I are going to host the Litten Awards in January 2018. More on that later to come. I need her brain to think up categories, and brainstorm other ideas. Thank you so much Barbara.

LibrarianRyan Please include authors in nominations when possible. 7y

BarbaraTheBibliophage Yay!! I‘ll put my creative thinking cap on! 7y

Kalalalatja Good idea! 7y

Simona 👏👏👏👍Cool 😎 7y

eraderneely I love that you‘re doing this, but for those of us who read a lot of nonfiction it‘s hard to only have one category. Could we at least have a separate memoir/biography category? 7y

Oryx Excellent idea. 7y

Oryx I like the first rule. Must have read the book ☺️ 7y

LibrarianRyan @eraderneely I will next time. Just go in again and add another. 7y

eraderneely @LibrarianRyan Thanks 🙂 7y

hermyknee This is such a great idea! 7y

kamoorephoto Sooo do we have to campaign to be favorite Litten to follow?! (I‘m so kidding) 😹😹😹😹 7y

LibrarianRyan @kamoorephoto 😁. Not this round. Maybe when Barbara and I do the Litten awards in January. 7y

kamoorephoto I don‘t want to say! I have lots of favorites!! You‘re all my chums! 7y

OSChamberlain I just made my nominations for the few categories I‘ve read this year, plus my favorite litten 😁 7y

RaimeyGallant This is such a great idea. I see it getting really big in the years to come. 7y
