Hello fellow Crime, Mystery, and Thriller readers!
📣ANNOUNCEMENTS📣
* If anyone would like to join the mod team, we are looking for a Games moderator and a Cozy moderator.
* If you would like to lead a True Crime discussion, which is fun because you get to choose the books for the poll, please sign up in our ✏️Sign up to lead a True Crime discussion.
* Last month the group chose the parameters for a Classic Book of the Month selection which is 50 years (1969 or before). Therefore we have added the new nomination category Classic to our monthly nominations for July (see the link below in the July Nomination Discussions section).
* We will be selecting another author for our Focus on the Author project in July to begin reading in August. If you have suggestions for an author, please do be sure you reply in our What authors would you like to Focus On? (Nominations - Always Open) discussion with your suggestion so we can add it to the list. One of the moderators will select four or five authors from that list for the July poll.
