future group read discussion

[Kate]

Since March is a month of spring, meaning that nature is coming alive again. Perhaps we could do something like bugs, animals or freaks of nature??

[Maxine Marsh]

These horror authors have their birthdays in March. People could suggest one of their books...

Peter Straub
Arthur Machen
Algnernon Blackwood
H.P. Lovecraft
John Everson
K.W. Jeter
Dan Wells

[Andy]

Spring themed? The decadence of youth in honor of spring break? What about only books with green covers? Only authors whose names start with Mc?

[Addy]

As in McCammon? Lol. I'm down with that.

[Andy]

There is also Michael McDowell.

[Maxine Marsh]

I would love to read some more McDowell. I've been trying to finish his Blackwater series--its great. McCammon is also a good choice, there's his Blue World book of stories.

[Andy]

Blue World is great. Only about half of the stories are horror, but there isn't a bad story in the book.

[Addy]

I seriously have like 8 McCammon books I need to read including Blue World. McDowell is great too. Just got The Amulet recently and completed my collection of the Blackwater series but have only read the first one. Both are great authors!

[Andy]

Maybe it could be double McAuthor month with one book chosen for each author.

[Maxine Marsh]

McAuthor month, I love it!!!

[Kate]

As it's St Patricks Day next month, I'm going to put up a thread for Irish authors for March group read suggestions.

[Addy]

Wud anyone vote for Dark Places or Every Secret Thing for June's group read? I just saw that both are becoming movies soon.

[Justin]

Who is the author of every secret thing?

[Addy]

Laura Lippman

[Maxine Marsh]

I've read both of those, but they are both actually pretty good reads. I have Sharp Objects, I've been needing to read that one.

[Vicki Willis]

I would be up for Every Secret Thing. Let me know when.

[Addy]

So you would be up for a buddy read Vicki?

[Justin]

Every secret thing sounds good if I can find a copy to lend somewhere I am in.

[Vicki Willis]

Yes, Addy... It looks great! Whenever you want to get started.

[Addy]

Ok. How bout the end of may? I got to dig through my stash and find it too...lol. I need another book shelf;)

[Vicki Willis]

Ok that would be good for me. Remind me, do you make a thread for it somewhere?

[Addy]

Yes. I'll make a thread under buddy reads.
