As we get closer to the middle of the year (how did that happen??), it's time for everyone to nominate a book for our May 2021 group read.

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

For May's read we are looking for A book by an American author
So, nominate a crime/mystery/thriller/suspense book to cover May's task :)

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

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

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

Sarah | 385 comments Naked in Death (In Death #1) by J.D. Robb Naked in Death by J.D. Robb (a.k.a. Nora Roberts) (Eve Dallas #1). (Although I think I'm probably the only person in the group who hasn't already read this series!)

Andy (andymc) A Naked Singularity A Naked Singularity by Sergio de la Pava
Looks like a loathe it or love it sort of book that may tickle my fancy. The review comparing it to Shakespeare was off putting though. I hate Shakespeare

Are you sure he's American Andy? It doesn't say on his profile unfortunately.

Thanks Col. I’ve heard so many great things about his books.
This one has been on my list for awhile. I’ll of course read it regardless of whether it wins or not but it’s always more fun to read with a group.
