Here are the picks. Which should we read and discuss in June?

As always, if you vote it's expected you will participate in the book study (particularly if your book 'wins').

Perdido Street Station by China Mieville
The Final Empire (Mistborn, Book 1)
Hero by Perry Moore
Black and White by Jackie Kessler
Soulless by Gail Carriger
 

Kitty Pryde

Work? Is it long? I can't handle another long book right now.

Soulless looks interesting and light-hearted... hmmm.

Alright, I'm going to put another feather in Perdido's cap. Hopefully we can put Soulless in the poll again soon.

I'm going to have to read some comic books or something in between Next and Perdido! (Assuming it wins)

This has been in my TBR pile for ages (years, even) but I doubt I'll be able to get to it in June. It's a quarter million words so will probably take me three weeks to get through.

Sorry folks. Spirit is willing but flesh is weak, and all that.

Hooray, ordered! Hopefully it'll arrive within a few days :D

Just to clarify... Do we discuss the book at the end of June then? Or just as and when we finish reading it?
