Mystery

[close] Women of Mystery is a private group for women who love to read and discuss mysteries and thrillers written by female authors. The spectrum of our reading selections is broad, ranging from psychological thrillers, cozies, crime, action and adventure thrillers, romantic suspense and any novels that are filled with conundrums to perplex and puzzle us. We also enjoy books featuring women detectives or sleuths written by male authors. If you feel that the friendliness and comfort of a smaller reading group would be to your liking, please apply. We are always on the lookout for eager participants.

"It's like a cross between ____ and ____ with a little Harry Potter thrown in." "YOU'VE NEVER READ ____?!?" You know the drill. Your friends reference it, your husband/wife/boyfriend/girlfriend/"sort of thing?" raves about it, even your favorite movies quote it, or it IS your favorite movie but you've never read the book. This group is for those of us for whom one of the following may apply... - we have finally developed a taste for reading and are severely behind on classics; - we kindaaa, sortaaa, but actually slept through English class in high school and used Sparknotes/Hollywood remakes to write our book reports; - we buy a book that everyone is talking about and it sits on our shelf, and sits there... and sits there; - we've heard the hype and are finally getting around to reading the actual book; - we want to expand our horizons beyond the single genre we usually read and want to do so with some time-tested material; - we just plain old want to get everyone off our backs for not having read _____. Every month we'll choose three books to read: 1) a classic (that everyone has probably read but us), 2) a "modern" classic or popular book that everyone is talking about, and 3) a bookshelf catch-up in which we choose a book the group has already read to catch-up with other members.

[close] This group helps to bring Reviewers and Authors together! Reviewers can make their own thread to post their reviews in, or post their reviews in the relevant Genre folder. Authors can make their own thread in the Author's folder to find reviewers for their book. Please provide the synopsis of the book, and details of how to obtain a copy. Author threads more than a month old will be deleted in order to keep the folder organised and up to date.
