I would like to add The Sentry by Robert Crais. I really like what books I have read by Crais so far. I finished The First Rule recently and I think this one comes after that one.
Good choice Kathryn. Last book I read by Crais was Hostage which was a great book. I have The Two Minute Rule. Been meaning to read that book also.
I'm going to join Kathryn on the bookshelf and choose The Scarecrow by Michael Connelly

I really liked The Two-Minute Rule, along with Demolition Angel and Suspect.

In an effort to get more people to put popular books on the bookshelf. I am taking recommendations from friends. This is the first in the series by Barry Eisler. One of my favorite books. A Clean Kill In Tokyo. DS Kane recommended it to me.
Ron, can we nominate more than one book for the bookshelf?
Okay. In that case I would also like to add One Kick by Chelsea Cain. I love the Archie and Gretchen series so much that I'm really anxious to read this new series by Cain.
I have this book. I'd like to read this one as well.
I realy don't know the definition of a "popular book" but as the icpl.org has a copy I nominate Pretty Little Things by Jiliane Hoffman.
Sounds good Bill. For the second book, I'll go with One Door Away From Heaven by Dean Koontz.
Haven't read it yet Gail. Dean Koontz is new to me so I look forward to reading more of his books after the Odd Thomas series. I'm glad you recommend him and I look forward to reading more of his books.
Hope others will join in on the bookshelf. Kind of curious to see who will recommend James Patterson or Harlan Coben or other great writers.
As we're allowed to nominate two, my 2nd is Amanda Kyle Williams's The Stranger You Seek, also in the icpl.org.

The new Alex Cross from Patterson is on my to read list, also. It's hard to come up with just a couple. I'll add it to the second bookshelf if we can get this going.

Sounds good to me Kathryn. Maybe someone else will recommend a Patterson book.
Sounds good to me. You can choose one Elmore book and choose another author if you want.
If you like Elmore Leonard, then you might want to check out Victor Gischler. One of my favorites who has been compared with Elmore Leonard, especially if you read his book, Suicide Squeeze.
William Lashner's book, The Accounting, is another great example.

Sounds good Skye. You can choose another book as well.
I should put the pictures of the books, I guess.
oops: that should be Faye Kellerman's book
Mike wrote: "How about Elmore Leonard? Two of my favorite books of his are Killshot and Maximum Bob."I'll go with Killshot.
Just to let you know, I did a count here and 5 people are interested in doing a group read for a popular book. The source would be books from the library. Are there 5 other people interested in joining in this?
What book is it? I am always up for a group read as long as I can get the book.
You can nominate two books for the book shelf toward a group read Carla. You can pick two popular books and use the library as a source if you want like the others did. Here are the authors chosen so far.
Robert Crais
Elmore Leonard
Michael Connelly
Barry Eisler
Faye Kellerman
Dean Koontz
Chelsea Kane
Jiliane Hoffman
Amanda Kyle Williams
Robert Crais
Elmore Leonard

Barry Eisler

I have already read all Chelsea Kane's books so would not select one of hers. I would love to do one of Faye Kellerman's as I have a lot of hers and have not read any yet. Dean Koontz would be another author, not particular of the title.
Sorry Carla. I meant to say that you could choose two popular books to add to this list and nominate them such as James Patterson and Harlan Coben.
This book was nominated by Michael towards a popular group read. Hit Man by Lawrence Block
I would like to nominate
by Tana French.
I may be ready to mention that we can have a group read with a popular book by a very popular bestselling author. Stay tuned. Let me know if you want to participate in this group read with a popular author.
Depends on the book, but I am certainly game.
I'm sure you will be based on this author and the book.

Always love a group read, as long as I have the book.
What about Cop Town by Karin Slaughter which I have not read, but want to. I'm pretty sure it is not in a series, as most of hers are. Also, Dean Koontz is a favorite of mine. One Door Away From Heaven is a pretty good one. I'll also throw Intensity into the ring. It's a favorite of mine, would love to re-read it and discuss it. Definitely a thriller.

The books that should be used for this should be popular authors such as James Patterson, Harlan Coben, or Lisa Gardner, just to name a few. If you would like to choose other writers such as John McDonald or Raymond Chandler, then that's okay as well.
The reason for this is because people in the group have said that they would like to have group readings based on books that are in their local library. So, here is your chance to add books to this group.
