Nominations open -- June 2022 Group Read: What would you like to read?

[Randy]

Hi, all.

For June, let's do free-for-all, a wide open nomination. What would you like to read as a group? Something old? Something new? A cozy? A noir? A thriller? A crime tinged with the paranormal or taking place on another planet?

The usual disclaimers apply:
Please keep in mind that
a) this is not the place to nominate your own books;

b) if you nominate a book and it wins in the poll, you are the discussion leader for the group read. If you don't want to do that, then don't nominate a book.

Let's have all nominations in by midnight on May 11.


And finally, Nancy's latest "reading the movies" discussion in Buddy Reads has just begun: Vertigo by Boileau-Narcejac

how about one with humor:

The Rabbit Factor by Antti Tuomainen. The blurb is in Finish but it links to the English version of the book on amazon.com. I have reported it to The Library group here, so maybe they'll fix it, but here's the one from Amazon:

An insurance mathematician's carefully ordered life is turned on its head when he unexpectedly loses his job and inherits an adventure park ... with a whole host of problems. A quirky, tense and warmly funny thriller from award-winning Finnish author Antti Tuomainen.

**Soon to be a major motion picture starring Steve Carell for Amazon Studios**

The Appeal by Janice Hallett
I’m so curious about this book written in emails, letters & texts ✍️

[CBRetriever]

The blurbs for The Rabbit Factor are now in English and it sounds even better. I bought it but haven't read anything except for the first few pages (the Look Inside) but it sounds quite different

[Nancy, Co-Moderator]

Since I'm planning on rereading it anyway, I'll nominate And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie.

[Leena]

Can I change my nomination?
Id like to nominate The Surgeon by Tess Gerritsen

[Randy]

Sure, Leena. I'll try t remember not to put both in the poll.

Hi, I’m new so I’m not sure this choice has ever been nominated. It is The Book of Cold Cases by Simone St James.
From Amazon:

“A Most Anticipated Novel by PopSugar * Crime Reads * Goodreads *

A true crime blogger gets more than she bargained for while interviewing the woman acquitted of two cold case slayings in this chilling new novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Sun Down Motel.

In 1977, Claire Lake, Oregon, was shaken by the Lady Killer Murders: Two men, seemingly randomly, were murdered with the same gun, with strange notes left behind. Beth Greer was the perfect suspect—a rich, eccentric twenty-three-year-old woman, seen fleeing one of the crimes. But she was acquitted, and she retreated to the isolation of her mansion.
