We invite YOU to nominate a theme for next month.

Perhaps there's a holiday (major or obscure) you want to celebrate? Maybe you want to focus on a specific genre or tag? Want to look for cover image or color? Focus on the author's initials? Whatever "theme" you can come up with is fair game.

BE SURE to include the task requirement for your theme:
Examples:
Author, Author!: Read a book whose author's first and last initials are in "Author, Author"
Spring is Here!: Read a book with flower(s) on the cover - be sure to post the cover image.
Read a book with "COZY MYSTERY" as a genre


ONE nomination per member


To encourage participation from more members, the person who nominated LAST month's winning theme cannot nominate this month. So, Koren, you will *not* be able to submit a nomination (though you WILL be able to vote).

DEADLINE - 25 Sept 2022 5p CDT, or 5 nominations (whichever comes first)

Once the nominations are closed, we'll set up a poll for membership to vote on the theme for next month.

Nominated themes:
* Main Page Genre HORROR (Brittany)
* Features a haunted house or a ghost (Carol)
* Black and Orange COVER (Licha-Olivia)

* Author's initials in phrase: A DARK AND STORMY NIGHT (Beverly)
*

It was a 3-way tie! So I had my husband pick a name out of a hat and the winner was ...

BEVERLY - Read a book by an author whose initials are in A DARK AND STORMY NIGHT.

Ripples (Blake Harte Mysteries, #3) by Robert Innes
Ripples - Robert Innes - (England)
Blake Harte series Book #3
4.5★
I have read this series so out of order, but it doesn't seem to matter. I did have the good sense to read book 1 first. I didn't like Blake Harte to begin with. He seemed rough and rude to everyone and condescending to those that only wanted to help him, even to Harrison who had a major crush on him from day one. As their relationship has grown, he's mellowed a bit. I know that Blake has been trying give Harrison time to recover from his prior relationships....and he's had quite a few. Blake also has to find an emotional conclusion to his feelings about Nathan, his last ex. I would think that enough time has passed that Harrison would to be more secure in the person he has become. He really needs take a deep breath and accept that he is worth being loved. This author seems to be progressively better with each book in this series. The mystery is well written and this one is for lack of a better word, clever. As I have said, the romance needs a little work. I can't imagine why someone hasn't turned these books into a great mystery series for TV.
