October 2016 Thrills and Chills Group Read Nominations

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Literary Adrenaline Junkie]

October is Thrills and Chills group read. Let's select a read this month that delivers on action adventure and some suspenseful, thrilling, or scary elements.

Here are some other considerations:

1. One nomination per group member. The books must be nominated with a Goodreads link by clicking on 'add book/author'. If a book does not have a Goodreads link, it will not be added to the poll.
2. Books need to be readily available, ie, in print (able to buy new or in ebook format).
3. Books should have some degree of action/adventure content.
4. Past group reads are not eligible to be nominated again. The past group discussions remain open for members to comment. You may see the list of past reads here:

5. Books must be either standalone or first in a series (or they may be later in a series if constructed to be read as a standalone).

The poll will go up on or around September 8th.

I saw Kraken Rising IS 6th in series. Is it better if you have read the others in series?

No they are all standalone with Alex Hunter as the central character. Awesome reads. You will get addicted. If you love Matt Reilly, you will love these as well.

[Justin]

Matthew Reilly is awesome. I've had Beck in my to read for awhile. Just haven't read any of his yet.

[Alex]

Kraken Rising by Greig Beck

[Chris]

Kraken Rising by Greig Beck...actually all of his stuff would win this

[Justin]

Jeez. Looks like we could just skip the poll this time.

I have a very difficult time reading books out of order, even if they do seem to read as a standalone. I think I'm a little OCD about it, but I'm always afraid that I might miss even the tiniest bit of important information if I skip a book. Is anyone else this way?

[Justin]

I am the same way. Can't stand to read out of order so I will probably have to read the first book instead

Ditto. That would be Beneath the Dark Ice, but it's already been a group read. One of my friends mentioned reading it with this group in Jan2013. I found the spoiler topic here:

I didn't find the no spoiler topic.

I was part of that group read...I enjoyed the book a lot!

I will nominate The Breach

The poll is going up now. Just a reminder to use a goodreads link when posting a nomination. A couple of folks did not, but fortunately, they were all for the same book. :)

The poll is up. It will close on September 16.

Kraken Rising by Greig Beck!

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Literary Adrenaline Junkie]

Kraken Rising won the poll. There are two discussion threads. One is just for readers to chat amongst themselves. The other is set up where the author can join and discuss his book with the readers.
