For February: both new options are titles that have been rumoured to have been censored out of the Hugos. I haven't been following that controversy closely enough to know how solid the evidence is, but they both sound interesting anyway so I figured I'd include them: harpercollins.com/products/bab… & xiranjayzhao.com/index.php/boo…
As usual, please vote, and replies to advocate for one of the choices or suggest future picks are always very welcome.
Advance notice for March: that will be the next Sequels Month purely because I have some travel coming up that will make keeping up with a poll more hassle than usual.
Babel
Instant #1 New York Times Bestseller from the author of The Poppy War “Absolutely phenomenal. One of the most brilliant, razor-sharp books I've had the pleasure of reading that isn't just an alternative fantastical history, but an interrogative one…HarperCollins
