Is the theme what you proposed for the rest of the year in the other thread? That would be science fiction, correct?

For my nomination for Sci-Fi, I'll do a soft science fiction/higher on fantasy, the classic Dune. It's a larger book so not sure if we want it this later in the month (average page account 890). I've never read it, but it came to mind as a book on my TBR I wanted to get to soon.

I recently bought a book from amazon as a 'deal of the day' that sitting in my TBR list. Also was a pretty good movie. I'll nominate The Andromeda Strain by Micheal Crichton.
Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Unfortunately it's not a deal of the day price anymore. Last edited by drofgnal; 05-09-2021 at 06:12 AM. |

And I shall nominate All Systems Red by Martha Wells. It is also a novella. It's the first story in the Murderbot series. Given the series name, it's not as violent as it sounds.
