Nominations open for June 2018 group read

[Brenda, Suspense lover!]

Now that our read for May has been decided, it's time for everyone to nominate a book for our June 2018 read.

We've changed the criteria for the monthly reads that we had for 2017. For our 2018 monthly reads we will do a different country per month. For June's read we are looking for books set in Antarctica

So - nominate a crime/mystery/thriller/suspense book set in Antarctica for our June read. True crime or cosy mysteries are included in this :)

NOTE: Only the beginning of a series (if a series) please :)

This thread will be open until 10th May, then our nominations will go to the vote:) Good luck and happy choosing!

Authors and publishers, please don't nominate your own work!

Murder 90 Degrees South: An Antarctic Mystery by A.K. Drexler

[Phrynne, Mystery lover!]

Ice Station by Matthew Reilly

[Kylie H]

Excellent choices so far!! I can't think of a worthy addition.

[Kerri_M]

This is a tough one, I don’t think I have anything on my TBR, so will have to google......

I second Ice Station. A ripper read from one of Australia's best thriller writers.

[Tien]

Ice Station was definitely fun to read!

[Lee at ReadWriteWish]

I have already read it, but Out of the Iceby Ann Turner would be great for this category.

[Rob]

I'd like to nominate Beneath the Dark Ice by Greig Beck
As luck would have it he is a A.A.

Me too, Lee. I second your nomination!

I am not 100% sure whether this will fulfil the categories for (i) Antarctic - it is partly set in the Artic - nor (ii)crime/mystery as it is a moral dilemma but not sure that it is a crime! So that said please discount it if it doesn't fit but it is an interesting read

[Brenda, Suspense lover!]

It certainly sounds different Rachael! But it's sci fi/fantasy so doesn't fit. But thanks for bringing it to the attention of fantasy lovers :)

[Sharon]

I'd like to nominate: Devour by L.A. Larkin

It was interesting Brenda and although I read it a while ago I still think about the concepts.

I seem to be on a roll with things that don't quite "fit" as I have just realised that one of my books for the annual challenge doesn't fit the criteria either and I will need to swap it out (I used a book set in a country I hadn't visited; instead of the author coming from a country I hadn't visited) sigh!

[Brenda, Suspense lover!]

Haha! Never mind - at least you got to read another book :)

[Alex]

Never realised there were so many; but I remember one of dad's books from when I was small Ice Station Zebra by Alistair MacLean.

[Brenda, Suspense lover!]

That was a good one Alex! An oldie but a goodie 👌

Oh yes it was definitely a goodie!

[Brenda, Suspense lover!]

Only a short time until nominations close if you want to add any more to the list :)
