Nominations open for March 2019 group read

[Brenda, Suspense lover!]

It's time for everyone to nominate a book for our March 2019 group read.

BUT - our format has changed for 2019!

There will be twelve tasks - a different one each month - open for nomination to fit that task.

For March's read we are looking for books set in an American city
So, nominate a crime/mystery/thriller/suspense book to cover March's task :)

Don't forget - 1st in a series, if a series

This thread will be open until 10th February, then nominations will go to the vote.

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

You would hate the book then! If it is voted in you will need to spray yourself with some Aeroguard every time you sit down to read it! ☺

For something a litte different from serial killers and FBI investigators (which was mostly what came up in my search) how about Blood on the Tracks by Barbara Nickless

We'll put up the poll on the 10th Kylie and see how we go. If we need a tie breaker at the end of voting, we'll do another poll to break them :)

[Carolyn]

I'll nominate IQ by Joe Ide set in LA.
It's about a man, nicknamed IQ who investigates crimes the LAPD can't or won't take on.

[Adel]

The Nowhere Child by Christian White

Hi Micht, you just need to click on 'add book/author' above the comment box to add the links to the book you are recommending ☺

[Brenda, Suspense lover!]

I have a feeling that The Nowhere Child is set more in Australia than Kentucky. We might leave that one off Micht as we need the titles set pretty much fully in an American city :) Thanks though - it's an amazing book!

[Krystal]

Does Bird Box by Josh Malerman count or is it too horror?!

[Brenda, Suspense lover!]

The highest number of "shelved" is horror, but it seems post apocalyptic and scifi to me - one of those books with many genres in one! I'll check with Phrynne for her opinion Krystal - thanks :)

[Phrynne, Mystery lover!]

It's horror but it is also a thriller. And it's a GREAT book:)

I'm being a bit cheeky because I'm reading it atm lol. It feels very much like a thriller more than horror, but definitely got that dystopian/post apocalypse feel.

[Brenda, Suspense lover!]

Thanks Phrynne :) And Krystal!

[Sharon]

Brenda - Can I please put my vote in for A Land More Kind Than Home by Wiley Cash as I will be away when the voting poll goes up and not sure I’ll have access to the internet. Thanks :)

[Brenda, Suspense lover!]

I can't vote for you Sharon, but I will remember if it's close :) Have a fun time away!!

[Sharon]

Thanks Brenda. Hopefully I’ll have internet.

[Brenda, Suspense lover!]

Fingers crossed :)
