Sorry, Lisa. That one is not tagged "psychological thriller." Psychological thriller is a sub genre of thrillers, so not every thriller will fit. I've added a Goodreads page link to the first message to help people find books that fit. Please look for the tag "psychological thriller" on the book's main page.

No problem, Lisa. You can definitely nominate something else, but this one has the same issue. Do you know where to look for main page genre? When you click on the book link it brings you to the book page. On the right hand side of that page it says "GENRE" and listed underneath are the most common genre tags for the book. "Psychological thriller" needs to be listed there. It might say "thriller > psychological thriller" or something like that and that is fine, as long as it has "psychological thriller" in there somewhere.

Okay I checked this link and in there both of my other suggestions, The Guest List and Home Before Dark are listed there under psychological thrillers... So I'm not sure where exactly you want me to look 😅
The Family UpstairsI am running into the same problem others are with their nominations. I was able to find it on the list the link takes you to, and if you click on "see top shelves", 64 people have shelved it as Psychological Thriller, so I hope this works!
Ok, none of the 3 new nominations have "Psychological Thriller" listed on the main page. It seems that there is some difficulty finding it, so I'm just going to add the nominations. Lisa, I added The Guest List because it's the first one you nominated. If you would prefer one of the others just let me know.
I will nominate Blood Orange, if it is eligible. It's on sale on Amazon right now, so I snagged it for cheap.
I think because most people tend to shelve these as just thriller or mystery they arent showing up on the main page but they are all technically psychological thrillers
Where can I vote for The Family Upstairs? It would be my first time joining.

Plus, with the Goodreads page, I figured there must be a lot of them tagged.
I usually use the main page genre because people often tag things wrong. So if a book only has a few tags of the genre, it may be incorrect. At least with main page genre there are a lot of people tagging it that way, so you're more likely to get a correct classification.
It's fine though. I don't think we need to be that particular for this one.

Please make sure "psychological thriller" is tagged on the book's main page. I understand that some books that fit the sub genre may not be tagged, but this is what we will use to make the determination so that I don't have to make a decision on whether each book qualifies without reading them.
