The only one that isn't available in audio is Havana Fever, the May choice. Also, July's choice was a group read in March 2022.
yrs, I remember reading Kate Mortin's bk even before the group read, and it was really just ok.the others, I'm onto finding the bks and hopefully, I'll join in most of the discussions.

My husband has been after me to read that book for a while. No time like the present.

Yes, he liked it. He really likes the author. I've suggested he join the discussion... he might! Win! He's a smart cookie and teaches literature... this may not be "literature" but I always enjoy his perspective.
The Alienist is one of the best books I have EVER read. I won't be reading it again with all of you TBH. I was young when I read it, and only bought it at the bookstore because the very cute guy working there recommended it, and I awkwardly was trying to flirt with him! However, still to this day, it remains one of the best books I've ever read, but it was very graphic and the images are still in my head. I do recommend it however!

That's great, Gem! I'd be thrilled to have him along for the read!
Mod
Me too!
Looking forward to July’s book. It’s been sitting on my shelf for years.
Mod
Awesome! That one's new to me, looking forward to it as well!
We're just about to finish up with our Fall and Winter Collection reads, and Spring is just around the corner. I've been thinking about a historical fiction theme for our next collection and would like to propose the following books. If you're interested in joining, take a look and see if the books on the list are accessible. I have some backups if there are any that prove hard to find.
March
The Alienist (Dr. Laszlo Kreizler #1), Caleb Carr (US – New York)
April
The Hangman's Daughter, Oliver Pötzsch (Germany – Bavaria)
May
Havana Bay (Arkady Renko #4), Martin Cruz Smith
(Cuba, Havana)
June

(India – Calcutta)
July

I tried to get around the globe a bit and generally align the settings with spring and summer months. Let me know what you all think.
Happy reading,
Lisa
