We're SO ready for the new year (it's finally the 1st January 2021!), so it's time for everyone to nominate a book for our February 2021 group read.

We'll continue on with our different tasks each month:

For February's read we are looking for A book with the title starting with "B"
So, nominate a crime/mystery/thriller/suspense book to cover February's task :)

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

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

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

Doesn't have to be Australian Harry - good choice. First in the Terry McCaleb series - I like Terry's character :)

Keith Wright | 1 comments Can I suggest mine? ‘Murder Me Tomorrow’ by Keith Wright. Any of the Inspector Stark series can be read independently including this, my latest.

Thanks.

Keith.

No Keith, I'm sorry. It specifically states authors and publishers aren't to nominate their own work in the first post.

Also it doesn't start with B and it's not the first in the series!! I don't think you read the first post at all Keith! lol

Not disturbed at all Kathryn ☺ I actually deleted my comment when I saw Brenda's. I just wanted you to have a chance to nominate a book that can be included in the poll.

Kathryn in FL (kathryninapopka) | 13 comments Okay. Thank you 4 saying that. I've made an error on another club and someone became very displeased with me.
Unfortunately, I can't think of another title, however there are some good choices here so no biggie.
