January 2019 Group Read Theme Nominations

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Literary Adrenaline Junkie]

2018 is practically over. Can you believe it? It's time to start organizing our January group read.

First we have to choose the theme. So let's do it.

Members can pick any theme they want, so long as it has some degree of action/adventure content, even if it is part of another subgenre.

We're not looking for books right now. Just themes.

Please feel free to include a definition of the theme for clarification.

The poll is going up on December 8th.

**Themes so far:

*Urban Fantasy Action
*Urban Action Setting
*WWI/WWII Espionage
*Vintage Mystery (Victorian or other historical)/Thrillers
*Dystopian/End of the World
*Spy/Modern Action Thriller
*Classic Adventure

I'm choosing urban fantasy action.

[Jamie]

I like the urban theme too but maybe make it more broad so just urban setting?

[Stuart]

WWI or WWII Espionage

[Andrew]

History link

[Tom]

I'm currently reading a lot of vintage mystery/thriller novels. I'd like to see something along these lines.

[Christi]

Dystopian thrillers? Victorian-era mysteries?

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Literary Adrenaline Junkie]

I added everyone's nominations except I wasn't sure what you meant by history link, Andrew. Can you clarify?

I added urban setting as a separate theme because they are kind of different. I'm thinking Shaft or The French Connection versus Harry Dresden. Does that make sense?

[Mike (the Paladin)]

spy/modern action thriller, for example: Vince Flynn, Brad Thor, Mark Greaney, Ben Coes etc.

[Susan]

Classics

(In other words, what I should of read in high school)
Ex. Grapes of Wrath

[Kanishka]

End of the world action thriller

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Literary Adrenaline Junkie]

Sorry for the poll not going up on time. Finals week got the best of me.

Hi, Susan. I can add Classic Adventure since it has to fit the theme of the group.

The poll is up. It will only last five days since we lost time when I fell into the finals black hole. Sorry about that!
