Hey guys!

I'm out tonight so I can't make an involved post. I think I will be in tomorrow and Wednesday so as of now I'm planning on putting the poll up Wednesday, and tomorrow I will list the recs so far and the books we've read so far for club.

Here's a link to yesterday's post so you can see what's been recced so far:

http://fandomsecrets.dreamwidth.org/1609750.html?thread=958333462#cmt958333462

Please post title, author, and a link to Goodreads, Amazon or Wikipedia for the book (to weed out troll recs).

[(Anonymous)]

What if the book doesn't have a Wikipedia article, isn't sold on Amazon, and isn't on Goodreads?

[(Anonymous)]

Then how are any of us going to read it?

[(Anonymous)]

Then you've fallen through a crack in the world into an alternate universe where the book was never written. You need to place an ad on Greggslist for someone who has a universe jumping machine to get you back.

[(Anonymous)]

No, the book can exist. If it was self published, and hard to get.

[(Anonymous)]

then - again - how the fuck are we here on fandom!secrets going to get it and read it

[(Anonymous)]

Presumably we are all meant to go beg the author to send us a copy at inflated prices.

I'd wager a guess the OP has just self published a book and is trying to get the word out there, and possibly try and con someone out of some cash.

[(Anonymous)]

self published books are usually available cheaply in ebook format on Amazon

[diet_poison]

To be fair, not everyone has an e-reader and reading on cell phones/computers can be eye-straining, so I don't think this really counts as being super accessible. That said, if it's available as an e-book on Amazon, then it's...definitely got an Amazon link lol

[diet_poison]

Post something to prove it's a real book (and preferably something not difficult for people to get). It doesn't HAVE to be from one of those sites, though I feel like almost all reasonably accessible novels will be in at least one of those places.

The Girls of Radcliff Hall, by Adela Quebec

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Girls_of_Radcliff_Hall

[(Anonymous)]

Quickly looking on Amazon, a used copy of this book appears to be priced at $127. and there are only four copies, so it'd be hard to get a good discussion going unless we all want to take turns.

Seriously, what are you thinking?

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, but it's got a wikipedia article!

[(Anonymous)]

Why are you recommending things just to be difficult

bit bratty, aren't you

[diet_poison]

That does not count. If you are doing this just to be a pain in the ass, go away.

[(Anonymous)]

Ah, the Beaton/Tennant troll.

OK. Even if you had a copy of this book (which I doubt) and it won the poll, what then? Are you planning to discuss it by yourself Gollum style?

[(Anonymous)]

If it was on that free book site, but nope...

World War Z by Max Brooks https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_Z

Joust by Mercedes Lackey

[(Anonymous)]

That is the Dragons in Ancient Egypt series, isn't it? I had forgotten it even existed. It is pretty good though. Deffo voting for that. And the Milton.
