Oh ugh, so y'all need me to get my detritus together and agree on a book lol. I can request Conclave, but holds are slow arriving. I was looking at my list trying to find mysteries that aren't in series, and the most mainstream I've got is The Hitchcock Hotel, Miss Aldridge Regrets, Three Bags Full (older but I guess just republished?), or The Treasure Hunters Club. No idea if they fit any prompts other than being the right genre. Three Bags Full is set in the UK somewhere I think, I haven't checked location on the others.
Conclave looks doable, but it might take a week or two for my library to get it to me though. :( Did they recently make this into a movie? It sounds familiar...We still get bonus points if some of the team reads the same book, or do we all have to read the same book?
Oh, also! I have some books read already, in prompt slots. But if I read a book that gets us more points, I will be swapping around to maximize. So kinda no prompt is off the table, but I just have really hard constraints with books. My Currently Reading doesn't even include the books I have stacked on my nightstand as "read these soon". 🥴
Wow, King's Deception is a chonker lol. And I'd have to rewind to the first book in the series. Legit, don't wait for me; if y'all want to read it, go for it! I'm hoping to read three nonfiction this month, when I read like one a quarter, so I'm trying to fit those in wherever I can. And I may still try to swap what I have for shorter books lol. There's only so much nonfiction I can cope with lol.
Eunice, the Leigh Perry book sounded awesome! I love the vibes. But my library doesn't have it. :( Already read One of Us is Lying; it was just okay though, so I'm not planning to continue the series.
Y'all, please read for whichever task works. I am planning to read a nonfiction for spies, and I have a hoax mystery for unreliable narrator. I think I have a book for government conspiracy, but not sure; it's my book club book so idk what all is in it until I get to it. Social media, I'm not sure, because I don't have a bunch of contemporaries rn, but I also have a lot of books on my Currently Reading to get through, so to squeeze something in would need to be a shorter book that my library happens to have. :/

Depending on what it is, I could be down for a group read. I just read really oddball books, so I wouldn't assume anyone wants to read or has access to the books I've got going. And most of mine are way in the middle of a series.
I'll join! 10 BPM.
Yay, Eunice, you're here!! :) Yes, I'm excited for so many mysteries too, and ironically the tasks aren't being too bad. As I'm reading, I'm finding ways to fit books in. I'm legit just reading and hoping lol.
