<div dir="auto">Due to some possible acquisition issues with Seven of Infinities by Aliette de Bodard, Chip floated the idea of moving that book back in our rotation. I looked for Re: Colonised Planet 5, Shikasta by Dorris Lessing in the Minuteman library system and saw only six copies. There may be issues with that book as well. Maybe we move those two books to the end of this book discussion cycle since <em>Leviathan Wakes</em> and <em>Children of Ruin</em> are newer and more available. <br>
<br>
What about:<br>
<br>
<br>
Fri May 7th: Leviathan Wakes by James S.A. Corey<br>
<br>
Fir June 4th: Children of Ruin by Adrian Tchaikovsky <br>
<br>
Fri July 2nd: Re: Colonised Planet 5, Shikasta by Dorris Lessing <br>
<br>
Fri Aug 6th: Seven of Infinities by Aliette de Bodard<br>
<br>
?<br>
Any objections?<br>
