Hola AWers! 
​
We've got the usual goodies this month, plus a change to the way we do book club nominations, more details below. The Bossy Book Challenge is underway, and I've selected a couple of short stories in case anyone cares to read them together. Let's start with Freebies this month...
​
​
The Apocalypse Whenever book club

We're trying something different this year - we're going to accept nominations for the rest of the year. If it works ok, we'll probably switch to a bi-annual option next year, so no one has to wait a year to add new nominations, but this will simplify things. (Thanks for the idea Amy, Queen of Time!)

​

Accepting nominations for one month only! You may add two nominations, with the usual criteria.

Let's read a couple of short stories together!

Red Card by S.L. Gilbow

"Linda Jackson is a shy librarian who has just killed her husband and is on her way to turn in her red card."

​

The Tides by Ken Liu

"When I was little," Dad says, softly chuckling, "the Moon was so small I thought I could put it in my pocket, like a coin."

I don't answer because there's no time to talk. The tide is coming."

​

​

"Antioch is a multi-genre sci-fi with elements of alchemy and mysticism that trace back to ancient Egypt, including the teenage years of Augustus Caesar and Marcus Agrippa."

"The sun is strange, and the lights in the sky have shut down the world. Technical writer Roger was on a work trip to Texas when it all happened. Trapped between chaos and the rise of a mysterious, fanatical rancher known as the White Texan, Roger seeks to find his way north, and home to his wife."

This giveaway is also for the first book, Letters from the Apocalypse.

"In a world ravaged by a man-made pandemic, a remote farm community is the perfect place to hide—or is it? For a small group of survivors who escaped it might not be. Roamer Gangs and death squads are just two of the threats they face in a world knocked back to the 1800’s."

​

*NOTE: This is book 2, #1 is free!

"In 2079, mankind nearly destroys itself when it unleashes a devastating synthetic virus. Over the following centuries, however, the virus evolves into a beneficial symbiont that enhances and interconnects its human hosts, and a new post-human race is born: the Unathi. But in 2616, their peaceful utopia is violently disrupted when the symbiont begins to mutate into something terrible."

February Book Giveaways

"How long will it be before a new, more deadly, and far more terrifying disease falls upon the human race? And what if we never find a cure for that one?

A cure for Alzheimer's has been found, but Reece is about to discover that it has been replaced by something far worse and this time, she might not be so lucky."
