Don't forget to post the quotes from your crime books HERE

Let us in on all of those mysteries that are being solved....or just give us an idea how the criminal or the sleuth think. In any case, leave us your great quotes from you crime books, it would be criminal not to!

I agree, Susan. It has really broadened my horizon of authors. :)

Love Harlan Coben, too!

Let's see: Randy Wayne White (Fl writer)'s Chasing Midnight and Night Moves; Lisa Jackson's [book:You Don't Want To ..."

Suspect was really good. That was my first Robert Crais, and now I am a big fan!

Ooh, that's BIG! Bumping it up the list then :D"

That is the one that I was recommending. Sorry, Bea. I will try to be more clear in the future.

Tien - The Girl on the Train was a 5 star read for me. I should be putting up my review in the next week. :)

I read them both and found them both fascinating reads.

Bea wrote: "My reads will be:

The Thousand-Dollar Tan Line
Defending Jacob
The Beekeeper's Apprentice"

Both Defending Jacob and The Beekeeper's Apprentice were good reads for me. Defending Jacob was the best of the two, though. Like Debi - I will be interested to hear what you think of it.

Yes...it is going on my MUST READ list of recommendations to other readers.

Anything from Agatha Christie gets a big thumbs up from me.

The Girl on The Train is amazing, Tien. It was a 5 star read for me.

Charity, - I may add a Janet Evanovich book, too. I own all of the Stephanie Plum books, and have for years, but have only read the first one in the series.

For me - I will be reading:

A Study in Scarlet
The Monkey's Raincoat
Cold Cold Heart
Since You've Been Gone
Butterfly Kills: A Stonechild and Rouleau Mystery

Sorry for the confusion, but messages crossed in the mail. Thanks to Matt for picking our shelf for February....and his choice is Crime.

What will you all be reading?

OK - So here are my choices for everyone (as usual I am last, lol):

Dee

The Hooker and the Hermit - I just like the title of this one.
River Marked - I've always wanted to start this series.
One Grave Too Many

Tien
Remarkable Creatures - I thought this book was good and was really interested in the life a a woman scientist in the early days.
The Slap - I have heard great things about this book and want to read it soon.
11/22/63 = I am halfway through this one and find it fascinating.

Coralee

The Garden of Rama - Love Arthur C. Clarke
Throne of Jade - I am looking forward to this one some day.
Burdens of the Dead - Mercedes Lackey is a favorite of mine.

Niamh

City of Bones - great book!
Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas
The Real James Herriot: A Memoir of My Father - I love the James Herriot books and would love to read this one.

Welcome to the first session of POTS for 2015. Please post your choices for each person on our team below and I will make a consolidated list here.

REMEMBER - FOR EACH PERSON WE PICK THE NUMBER OF BOOKS THEY HAVE CHOSEN TO READ PLUS ONE. So, for me, each of you will pick two books giving me a total of 10 books to choose from.

Thanks .

Sorry for the delay in posting the teams....For some reason I thought today was the 23rd, not the 24th.

The teams are in the first post on this thread. Go ahead and set up a thread for your team and start picking books for each other. :) We will start reading February 1 and read until March 31st.

Thanks for joining. I am really excited to see so many people participating.

The link you posted didn't work, so I went to your profile and used the shelf called "pots" Hope that is okay!

Alex wrote: "Alright, it sounds like fun. I don't think I've got a special list, but I will read 2 books. Any suggestions? I actually got a lot of books on my bookcases."

I used your to read shelf since you did not list a shelf preference. Let me know if would like to use a different shelf.

Fairlee wrote: "I M IN FOR 4 BOOKS. PLEASE USE ny pick it for me shelf"

I used the shelf on your profile named "pick". Let me know if that isn't correct.
