    There is no reason not to renominate.

    It's your nomination lol. I was chatting but I already picked my books this round. Having worked in journalism, I love the Truth. Pratchett wrote from knowledge there.

    Acknowledged, four nominations. As another Pratchett fan, I would have chosen Going Postal or The Truth or Small Gods, but pretty much all choices are good.

    Is this a book that works as an ebook? I am limited to ebooks for the next few months.

    Nonfiction is welcome and encouraged. If we don't get nonfiction successful nominations, I may experiment with a nonfiction only thread in future that would be different from this group.

    A physical book won't work well for me this summer or fall but might in future. We have some audiobook readers here too I think. Can we hold this one back for now?

    If you think you might be interested to read with us, please name between one and five books you find intriguing and think others might enjoy. We will later have a voting thread so that each nomination gets an equal shot to win votes with no early nomination advantage.

    Please feel free to nominate both fiction and nonfiction and consider nominating a diverse selection of books and authors. Books should be 600 pages or shorter. The first books in series are fair game for nominations if they tell a complete story.

    If anyone is curious about the timing, we still have two books to read from the original nominations, but I will be traveling a lot this summer and may not be in a position to manage a nomination and voting thread then, so I want to get this sorted earlier.
