SciFi/Fantasy - Book Nominations

THIS IS NOT AN EVENT

It's time to nominate books for the SciFi/Fantasy group to read and discuss in February-March-April-May 2026. Please add your book nominations in the comments on this "event". (I know some people have trouble adding links to Goodreads/Amazon for the books, so no need to add links. I'll add them later for each book, before we start voting.)

The fake "event" where we collected nominations last time is here, in case anyone wants to see them:

We generally don't pick books that the group has discussed in the last 2 years. The list of SciFi/Fantasy books the group has read, and the list of books the Hugo/Nebula Winner and Flashback and Novella SciFi/Fantasy groups have read, are now also "fake" meetup events:

I will open a Poll for voting in about 2 weeks (end of the day Sunday Oct 12). I'm looking forward to seeing your suggestions!
Thanks,
Monica

12 Oct note: We've got some great books nominated so far, but I'll be leaving nominations open for longer, as we need a few more suggestions. Thanks!
