Theme for July: Plagues and Pandemics

[damned_colonial]

It's official. The them for July will be Plagues and Pandemics. I'm down to run it, so I'll be posting a theme intro shortly.

The theme for August is still somewhat up in the air; Roman Britain and Women at War (WW1) are neck and neck, so I'll be contacting the people who offered to run those and seeing whether either of them has schedule clashes or something that would solve the problem. Otherwise, there may have to be a tiebreaker poll!

Good stuff! I immediately went to read the proposal thread for Plagues and Pandemics to see what's being read, so I'm linking it here for anyone who has the same response.

I would like to suggest, in the interests of expanding horizons and recent events in Race!fail and whatnot, a theme of perhaps Central Eurasian fiction, and/or Chinese or Japanese historical fiction--or speculative fiction, if the pickings are too slim in those categories?

(Though, seriously, I'm simply hoping to use this as an excuse to kick my butt into actually reading Romance of the Three Kingdoms this summer.)
