It is time to nominate a book to be our April selection for #LitsySciFiBookClub Do you have one that has been on your shelf too long or one you heard about. Nominate it! Please Nominate only one and stick to the Sci-Fi genre though subcategories are OK.

If you wish to be added or removed from the tag list, let me know. Thanks!

CatLass007 Last month I nominated The Three-Body Problem. I think I‘ll stick with that. It‘s been in my library for a couple of years now and it sounded like something that would make for a good discussion. 3d

Bookwomble I forgot that we're reading The Man Who Fell to Earth for March, which is reprehensible as I nominated it! I'll pull that off the shelf over the weekend. As my nomination was picked for this month, I won't nominate one for April, but look forward to seeing what else might be suggested 😊 3d
TheSpineView @Bookwomble I just started it today. Thank goodness it is short. 3d
TheSpineView @CatLass007 Good choice! 3d
Ruthiella I‘ll vote from every one else‘s nominations! 😃 3d
kwmg40 I believe this has been nominated before, and I still want to read it. 3d
RamsFan1963 I'll nominate this. People seem to like Scalzi 3d
Bookwomble @RamsFan1963 Reading the blurb, this sounds like it's inspired by H. Beam Piper's Little Fuzzy, which I've been thinking of nominating for the Classic group. 3d
maich I have this on my tbr. Would love to read and talk about. 3d
julesG I have had a look at #MountTBR and would like to nominate 3d
BookmarkTavern This one‘s been on my TBR forever! 3d
rretzler I'm trying to read all of the Hugo and Nebula winners (despite all the furor over the 2023 Hugo WorldCon). I've still got a handful from the 90s and 80s to read and a couple from the 60s, but the most recent one that I haven't read is the 2006 winner by Robert Charles Wilson 2d
TheSpineView @rretzler Great goal! Some really good books on that list. 2d
TheSpineView @BookmarkTavern I loved it! I could definitely go for a reread. 2d
TheSpineView @RamsFan1963 I like Scalzi but have not read this one yet. 2d
Lizpixie I‘m a huge fan of Elizabeth Bear & this one well deserves a reread (edited) 2d

Fucking NIFTY!
The physical manufacturing history of computer hardware and software technology is officially going on my 'find books to read more about it' list.

julesG The more you post about this book the further up on my #MountTBR it climbs. 6d
Robotswithpersonality @julesG 😁 I don't know if that makes me a good influence or a bad one, but I'm relishing it either way. 5d

What could possibly go wrong with shrinking people down to half an inch and sending them into the rainforests of Oahu to study the soil?

It was a little too slow of a slow burn. However, once it took off, I could not put it down. Overall, I thought it was brilliant and I'm glad I finally read it, but I didn't love it and almost DNF'd.

How I loved this one! Think Rachel Joyce‘s The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry and Kathleen Rooney‘s Lillian Boxfish Takes a Walk, with a bit of Kitchens of the Great Midwest by J. Ryan Stradal.

Jenny is 77 years old, loves to bake, loves her husband of nearly 60 years Bernard, and has a secret. She also impulsively applies to be on a British baking competition. The story weaves between past and present through her recipes. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Librarybelle ⬆️⬆️⬆️It‘s a story about love, sacrifice, and finding oneself, no matter how old you are. It‘s a remarkable debut novel by Ford, who seems to capture so much emotion and can evoke so many feelings through Jenny‘s stories. Family recipes have power. Have tissues at the ready for this one. #192025 #2024 #52BookClub24 #Publishedin2024 2w

Haven't read a book that had me sobbing like a baby in quite a while; ahhh, that felt good.
