Group Read Books - 2017

Ok great! I've added Bannerless for October and The Fact of a Body: A Murder and a Memoir for September now too! Looking good for more great discussions! Thanks!

A good lineup of books coming up! I just bought Bannerless on Kindle. I may not be able to wait until October! Thanks for putting this book on my radar.

We have read or are reading some terrific group read books again this year. Our latest book (Bannerless ) is scheduled from October to November 15 so there is room for one more to close out the year.
Suggestions are welcome. (New or one we have already considered)
An option is IQ, or _______
Thanks to all who have participated!

[Ann]

Another option, though it may be harder to get ( release date 24-Oct) is The Rooster Bar by John Grisham

Since several people have mentioned being behind a bit on group read books; I extended the two current books for September and October two weeks longer, from 45 days to 60 days each.. That takes us up to December for the next group read selection.

I've heard mixed feelings about The Girl Who Takes an Eye for an Eye, but it might be a good December selection for discussion of how the series has evolved after Stieg Larsson's death. Anyone interested in it for a group read?

i am so far behind, i like that idea.
i have a copy of The Girl Who Takes an Eye for an Eye but can't commit to when i'll start to read it..lol

[Ann]

Sherry: I am in line for the audio of The Girl Who Takes an Eye for an Eye at the library. I think it could be any day or another three weeks as I appear to be next in line. I kind of hope it is a couple more weeks.

I'm up for The Rooster Bar!

[Carol/Bonadie]

I just picked up the audio ofThe Girl Who Takes an Eye for an Eye and will be ready to listen to it whenever others are. I picked up 3 other audios so have others to listen to, including the latest in the Department Q series, one of my favorites.

Me too!

[Ann]

Terrific Russ, Carol, Sherry, Melodie, Geri and all interested!
I'm glad we have interest in a couple more group reads to close out 2017.
I am number 77 on the list for the new Grisham The Rooster Bar and hope to get to the audio of The Girl Who Takes an Eye for an Eye soon enough to match up with Carol's and perhaps Sherry's reading of it. I went ahead and used an audible credit for it.

[Amy]

The rooster bar sounds good.

[Sandi]

Thanks Ann for all you do coordinating the group reads.

I have The Rooster Bar on hold and have the audio version of The Girl Who Takes an Eye for an Eye on my MP3 player so should be good to go on both.

I finally got to start the audio of Bannerless today.

Previewing 2018 Group Read books -I will start a separate 2018 nomination/list thread later.
Who is interested in these books? To help you line up library loans for the new releases there are two continuing series books that have been group reads and release early in 2018.
Possible for both February and March:
The third Sara Alt book (Release 2/27/2018) a prequel The Policeman's Daughter and the new (second Aaron Falk) book by Jane Harper: Force of Nature (Release 2/6/2018
