Hello everyone,

It’s a brand new month, so we have two new books of the month to discuss. For May, you selected:

May Science Fiction: The Shadow of the Torturer by Gene Wolfe
May Fantasy: The Faded Sun: Kesrith by C.J. Cherryh

There are a couple of starter topics up for each book, but please feel free to start more. If anyone wishes to volunteer to lead the discussion for either of these books, please let Stefan, Nick or myself know ASAP.


We also have our schedule set for the next couple of months:

June SF: Steal Across the Sky by Nancy Kress
June Fantasy: The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern

July SF: 2312 by Kim Stanley Robinson
July Fantasy: The Blue Sword by Robin McKinley


In series read news, our ongoing discussion of The Honor Harrington series by David Weber has come to an end with completion of the most recently published book in the series. Topics for all previous books in the series are still open for discussion for anyone who is playing catch-up or has further thoughts on the series. Just scroll down the group homepage to find them.

Regarding our next serial endeavor: Please watch for Nick's announcement later today regarding the details of our Summer Mini-Series read!


Lastly: Don't forget to drop by the What are you reading in May? thread to share your picks, pans and progress for the month!


Happy May and Happy Reading!

Candiss, for Moderators of Beyond Reality

I just want to say a quick "thank you" to everyone who participated these last few months with the Honorverse series read! It's been fun chatting with everyone and we are still active in the series predictions thread. I'll continue to monitor the threads if there's anyone who is further back in the series and wants to comment.

Thanks again to everyone who participated and to our mods who set the whole thing up!

Thanks so much, Lindsey, for diving in feet-first to keep the Honorverse discussion rolling along so energetically. You all seem to have had (and are still having) a great time and some wonderful discourse!
