repost for @RamsFan1963:
It's time for nominations for June's #ClassicLSFBC selection. Hopefully, everyone was able to get a copy of May's selection, Snow Crash, and is enjoying it. Nominations will begin today and go on until the 23rd.
I'll start the nominations with my choice, Deus Irae, written by two legends, Philp K. Dick & Roger Zelazny.

Nominations are now open to pick our June book for #LitsySciFiBookClub Please suggest one book you would like to read that falls into the Sci-Fi genre. Offshoots like Space Opera works too. Since I'm on vacation starting tomorrow, and will have little to no internet, the voting will remain open until the 23rd.
Hope everyone is coming along with May's selection, The Three Body Problem.

I've hardly read this year, but I'm getting a little bit in on a visit to my family in the forest! The cicadas and birds are singing and the dog is napping and I can feel my brain slowing down. 🌳🐦😌🐕🌲
pickThis was my #BookSpin and I‘m giving it a soft pick. At first I didn‘t like it at all because it took forever to introduce all the characters and I couldn‘t figure out what she was doing with them. The climax of the story is absolutely crazy and I did not expect it at all. I think she‘s trying to make a point about money, power dynamics, and bad choices but it got very messy. I‘m still thinking about it, so that seems worth something.
pickWell, this was quite dark. Keegan read from this at my local bookstore last fall and called out an audience member who was trying to photograph her during the reading. i love her writing. She almost fills the void Munro left, when she retired. looking forward to more.
pickA dark love story of 2 yng people whose paths cross in London where property is unobtainable. Lauren, a HR consultant from a troubled Leeds background, is searching for a flat.Callum looks after property for an agency, is adopted by a wealthy aged art expert from a Hungarian background, has a difficult family story. When they meet their paths lead to dramatic results. A well told dark tale, which I really enjoyed, a modern fable of London life.
