I added a fall picture but you don't have to use it if others find better pics. Don't know if you're all sick of my pug pics by now LOL

[Tina]

A little early for the masthead photo to show snow but I couldn't find anything with autumn feel. Still open for a turkey themed photo should we find any. However, Pugs got our thumbnail photo covered. ;-)

Never. lol ;-)

[PugMom]

Ok, I uploaded a picture so see if it will suffice!

[Tina]

NicoleG wrote: "Ok, I uploaded a picture so see if it will suffice!"

Will do. Thanks, Nicole!

[Tina]

:-( I tried photo, Nicole, but upload kicked it saying picture short of 970 wide X 245 high. Not to make more work for you but might you be able to stretch photo borders larger? That might fill in gap. I'll leave spot open should you want to try. Thanks, Nicole. Photo's "adorbs!"

[PugMom]

Maybe if I save it in Photobucket I can customize the size.

[PugMom]

Hey Tina what is the total required size. I think I can resize the pic in Fotor if I know what #s I need.

[Tina]

970 x 245 or larger.

[PugMom]

Ok, I made 2 more. One is 970 X 245 and one is larger. Hopefully one will work!!

[Tina]

I know! Not like you haven't tried. Thanks, Nicole! I'll be on my trusty device tomorrow and give it a go. One of them should work. ;-)

[Tina]

Sorry, no-go, Nicole. :-( I think issue is with larger #. GR requires 970 or more and your Charlie's are coming in as 700.

So sorry and thanks for your perseverance on the matter. With their guidelines being so picky, it's a wonder there are any photos posted. Appreciate your creative cuties and hard work. Thanks again!!

[PugMom]

The site said it was bigger than that so who knows.

[Tina]

If you'd like to try again, that's fine. Just don't want to give you more work if no. The internet is indeed the new Wild West!

Did anyone post ideas for January’s book?

[Tina]

NicoleG wrote: "Did anyone post ideas for January’s book?"

No, not that I can see. We could start though. ;-)

[Tina]

Still celebrating holidays but if anyone wants to start Jan. pick, feel free!

[PugMom]

No rush! I just hate thinking I missed something!

[Nicole]

Let's all pick something from our TBR piles and throw it in the hat! :D

[PugMom]

I already have one in mind. Will post when I get on my computer

[Tina]

NicoleG wrote: "No rush! I just hate thinking I missed something!"

You're not rushing things, NicoleG. Actually, you're right on time.

Just a thought re: Jan. pick -- If we go back to one main read and maybe one side (or no side read) , should we consider Toy Soldier as the side or leave it behind in '17? I'd still like to read it but could either leave it on 2017 thread or bring it (so to speak) forward to 2018. Any thoughts?

[Tina]

And are there any great Jan. themed mysteries anyone knows of for us to consider?

[Mark Pghfan]

I probably have time for a main read for January, but not a side read. I am nearly done with No Clue at the Inn, and should be finished in a few days.

I am taking a "life-long education" class in January, offered through the university I used to work at. It is about Female Sleuths and promises discussions on Miss Marple, Miss Silver and some more recent examples. There will probably some reading associated with that, so I will need to monitor my reading obligations!

That sounds like fun! I've been thinking about taking some sort of class as well. Must research! I'm embarrassed to admit I don't know who Miss Silver is.......

Aww, sounds neat, Pghfan! Will love to hear about it if you are able. Enjoy!

I don't either, Nicole. We'll have to find out more. lol Just incase she has a mystery series out. ;-)

[Mark Pghfan]

Miss Silver is a spinster detective created by Patricia Wentworth and is in the classic old-school type and time frame. Similar to Miss Marple, though not quite so endearing. Our group read one of Miss Silver's adventures a few years ago, around this very time, since it takes place on New Year's Eve. The title was The Clock Strikes Twelve.

[Tina]

Down with that thing that's going around. Ugh! Doctor, prescription etc. Pghfan, if you will, go ahead and do the pick for Jan title. I'll go along with whatever the PI's choose.

I hope you're feeling better soon, Tina!

Hi PIs! Has the group read this book yet? Under an English Heaven: An Ellie Kent Mystery

[PugMom]

Nope we didn't read it but it was suggested at least once.

That was me last week. I am finally feeling better. Most of my Christmas vacation had me popping Sudafed pills like candy LOL

Okay! I really want to read it - it sounds good! :-)

[PugMom]

It does look good.

[PugMom]

Do we have a side read for January? Or just the main read?

[Nicole]

NicoleG wrote: "Do we have a side read for January? Or just the main read?"

I think we decided just to do a main read this month.

[Mark Pghfan]

We can always consider it for February!

[Nicole]

Yay!

Thanks, Nicole. I'm coming around but still have lingering cough. With all the cold temps, I am just parking it!

I heard that, NicoleG. Came down with it but just after Christmas. Luckily, I got doc appt. 'fore New Year's. So, we had Christmas but were sidelined for New Year's.

Be well, PI's!

The Alienist is coming to TV at Jan. end. Wanted to but never got to read the book. I'll def. see the TV version. Not sure if it's in a series or a one episode production.

Anyone in The Parlor ever read it?

Not me....

Maybe Pghfan read it, Nicole. It looks good though. ;-)

Yoo hoo.....Mark....did you read it? :-)

[Mark Pghfan]

Nope. Didn't read it. Not really heard of it either, though the ad for the TV version has been on my screen for, it seems like forever!

[Tina]

PI's, maybe it was LovesMysteries who read it. Mmm? Anyway, I've wanted to but just never got 'round to it. Having it come to the screen will be more than great. May move me to finally read the book. Here's the cover. You've probably seen it around.

[Tina]

Here's another suggestion for a good mystery flick with a twist at end. The Limehouse Golem. Really good IMHO. It's been out on our UVerse picks so I believe it is available in DVD and probably at libraries. See it if you can. ;-)

[Jill]

I read it

[Tina]

What did you think of it? Was it any good?
