Goodread is truly awesome

This is all pretty cool, but I wish Goodreads kind of acknowledged the fact not all of us are American. I mean, yay, y'all get up to 80% off for e-books, but is there anything for the rest of us?Otherwise this is a cool section, seeing as thrillers/mystery/crime books are the best. :)
Any comic fans who love good mysteries? I have suggestions (feel free to give me some too)B.P.R.D. Hell on Earth, Vol. 3: Russia
Fatale, Book One: Death Chases MeMorning Glories, Vol. 1: For a Better Future
The Nightly News
Outcast, Vol. 1: A Darkness Surrounds Him
Preacher, Book 1
Revival, Vol. 1: You're Among FriendsVelvet, Vol. 1: Before the Living End
just started good reads a few weeks ago.It's actually pretty good😁

There are free promotions being run by indie authors during this same week, across Amazon marketplaces, which may be worth a look!

Although I read pretty much everything, mysteries are my favorites. A great week!
#MysteryWeek An event in my life involving then-President Bill Clinton inspired Detour I started writing it immediately after, and finally finished it decades later.
.
Mystery readers. - check out the new YA mystery On A LARP by Stefani Deoul. You'll absolutely adore the cast of characters and the brilliant, edgy, fun dialogue and plot. Go forth and enjoy!

Three posts promoting your book is spamming.
So my first mystery novel made it out in time for "Mystery and Thriller Week."http://www.coreyrecko.com
Goodreads offers plenty of fun as it is, but this is a great addition. And timely, as I just happen to be reading Agatha Christie (After the Funeral), which definitely qualifies as Mystery.Too bad the deals are US only.

I have zero affiliation with this, only that I saw it at my local bookstore on Authors for Indies Day on Saturday!

Would love to see more of weeks dedicated to certain genres!!
This just made my week! Time to pull a mystery out of my TBR pile, it's been a couple weeks since I've read one.

If you like Fatale you should read The Fade Out by the same team of Brubaker and Phillips.

I totally agree!
I've read 13 of the above listed books (that I'll admit to. Some are so old I don't remember!!!!)
Wow, you've done a lot more for this week than previous other genre-themed weeks. I'm loving the options, thanks.

I'd love other genre weeks as well - I'm sure we'll get some later.

The illustration for this post is spectacular! Love it!

It's a mystery to me, why every week isn't Mystery Week.

Goodreads is part of the Amazon family. Amazon also has websites in other countries. You'll find that many of the books, particular in mystery and thriller section, are by British authors. When checking out a book, look at the "Stores" button ... you'll find a listing for Book Depository which is in England. They'll ship worldwide.
