Poll Open June/July Group Read

[Donna, Co-Moderator]

Poll is Open for the June/July Group Read.

Voting until June 10th at http://www.goodreads.com/poll/show/85...

General rules for Group Reads

1) If your nomination wins - you will be the discussion moderator.

2) One (1) nomination only per person. Neither self-nominations by authors nor nominations by their respective publishers or publicist will be accepted.

3) Do not cheat or manipulate results. It is not acceptable to create fake accounts to nominate books or vote in polls and it is not acceptable to invite people to the site for the sole purpose of nominating a book or voting for a book in a poll. It is not acceptable to ask for votes or influence the poll in any way. If the moderators feel that a group read poll has been manipulated, the book in question will be disqualified. If the moderators feel that the user(s) are fake accounts, these will be reported to Goodreads for further review.

4) Please do not repeat an author we have read in the last year. Check the bookshelves to see the authors we've read in the past year. http://www.goodreads.com/group/booksh...

5) For your nomination please include Title, Author and Link (Use the "add book/author" link at the top of the comment box).

Since we are an international group, please check to make sure the book is readily available in more than one format. the last thing we want is to nominate a book that no one can get.

Finally, a word about series - the joy or bane of a mystery reader's life! Please consider whether the book you are nominating would be best read by someone who has read all the previous books in the series or can be enjoyed by someone new to the series too.

If I may add a second title, I second the nomination of People Who Eat Darkness, (true crime/thriller/courtroom).

Hi Bo, I'm sorry but I'm going to have to decline your nomination. If you look at the rules for nomination we do not accept nominations from the author, publisher, publicist, etc.

Sorry Donna - I was just being cheeky! :)

It's only available in the Kindle format at the moment so it wouldn't be acceptable anyway :(

[Charlotte (Buried in Books)]

Hmmm, Calculated in Death? As much as I love her writing that is number 36 in the series and I'm only on number 10. That messes with my OCD way too much.

Never thought I'd see Dark Lover nominated on here. Great PNR series.

[Suzy]

I would like to nominate Altered Innocence, by Carolann Hays.

This looks like it is only available on kindle.

I nominate the international thriller Nocturne, Opus 1: Sea Foam by Dr. Norene Moskalski. It is a fact-based fictionalized story written by a professor about a pandemic caused by a genetically modified waterborne bacteria. With all the talk about GM products in Europe, this is a timely read. What I liked best, though, was that it gave multiple ways that moms and dads can protect their kids from rogue bacterial infections--that one is more timely than we like to think about, what with MERSA, CRE and other antibiotic resistant bacteria making the scene. Nocturne, Opus 1: Sea Foam

[Dottie]

wow...so many wonderful nominations already. My kindle will soon be full of new books to read. Just had to add that!! :)

[Courtney]

I would like to nominate Todd Thiede's book, Time Killer.

Time Killer

[Jannene]

Hot Blooded by Lisa Jackson.

With "Hot Blooded", Lisa Jackson follows firmly in the footsteps of fellow New York Times bestselling authors Iris Johansen and Tami Hoag. An acknowledged master at crafting tales of romantic suspense, Jackson now weaves even stronger threads of tension and intrigue into this pulse-pounding tale.A prostitute lies strangled in a seedy French Quarter hotel room. Miles away, in a rambling plantation house on the sultry shores of Lake Ponchartrain, popular late-night radio host Dr. Samanatha Leeds receives a threatening crank call. Soon, another hooker's corpse turns up. Samantha's ominous caller persists, along with a mysterious female claiming to be a woman from her past -- a woman who's been dead for years. With Detective Rick Bentz convinced that the serial killer prowling the shadowy streets of New Orleans is somebody close to Samantha, she doesn't dare trust anyone. Especially Ty Wheeler, her seductive new neighbor who seems to know more about her than a stranger should.

Someone has discovered Samantha's darkest secret. Somebody is convinced that lives must be sacrificed to pay for her sins. So far, the victims have been strangers. Prostitutes. But as a cunning, cold-blooded killer grows bolder, Samantha wonders in dread if she will be the next to die.

[Vonnie]

Time Killer I loved the concept of this book - very new and interesting! Every time you turned a page, you were in for another twisted surprise. I can't wait for the next one!

[Ethan]

I'd like to nominate The Guilty One by Lisa Ballantyne. This is a heavily layered book, similar in style to Tana French, that is sure to provide us with various topics to discuss.

[Soumyashri]

Sister

[Georgia]

I agree with Ethan, The Guilty One. A good book!

I love this nomination, Terminal Value is wonderful. I actually missed my stop on the subway twice because I was so engrossed in this book!

Terminal Value is great! I thoroughly enjoyed it and wholeheartedly second David's nomination.

[Lisa]

I would like to nominate either Devil Bones or Linwood Barclay- any book.

Trust Your Eyes was a great book.

[Jeanie]

I'll nominate The Expats by Chris Pavone. I'm trying to either read or listen to all the award winners for this year. This book received the Edgar Award for best first novel by an American author. So, two birds one stone? (grin)
