As in May, we have two themes in June:

Trilogy 2 - the second book of the Wayfarers series by Becky Chambers, A Closed and Common Orbit. Books 3 & 4 will follow in July & August.

Time Travel - pick a book that involves time travel of a sort. Here's the Time Travel shelf:
/group/books...

Should you find other books that meet the criteria but are not shelved in time travel, feel free to nominate & we'll assess it then.

Remember that books must meet the following criteria:
- Must be a Hugo or Nebula nominee
- May not be a nominee from the last five award years (those have their own theme)
- It may be the first of a series, but not a later book in the series, unless the earlier book(s) have been read by the group.

Yes, The End of Eternity was 1945 Hugo nominee which we haven't read as the group

Stephen Burridge | 958 comments 1956 not 1945. (Numbers adjacent on the keyboard?)

I will nominate From the Files of the Time Rangers because it looks fun and I have never heard of the author before

Going into the last few days of voting, we have a tie. If anyone wants to get their vote in or change it, now's the time to do it.

The poll ends tonight, but at this point it's a runaway in favor of The End of Eternity by Isaac Asimov. A solid choice.

Stephen Burridge | 958 comments I read The End of Eternity in 2012 and didn’t like it.

Lars Dradrach (larsdradrach) | 8 comments The End of Eternity is yet another of my teenage favourites from way back, rereading these have been a mixed feeling as not all have aged well, looking forward (with some trepidation) for this one.
