Diversify Your Reading Partner Challenge 2023
June: Thriller



Thrillers are characterized by fast pacing, frequent action, and resourceful heroes who must thwart the plans of more-powerful and better-equipped villains. Literary devices such as suspense, red herrings and cliffhangers are used extensively.

Thrillers often overlap with mystery stories, but are distinguished by the structure of their plots. In a thriller, the hero must thwart the plans of an enemy, rather than uncover a crime that has already happened. Thrillers also occur on a much grander scale: the crimes that must be prevented are serial or mass murder, terrorism, assassination, or the overthrow of governments. Jeopardy and violent confrontations are standard plot elements. While a mystery climaxes when the mystery is solved, a thriller climaxes when the hero finally defeats the villain, saving his own life and often the lives of others.

I have a question - is the level we choose the number of book picks that we plan to read or the number that we want to read from, while trying to read as many as possible?

I know I'm late, but if there are any other stragglers, I'd like to join.

The level is how many books you'd like to read for this challenge!

I'll put you on the backup list, in case someone doesn't show up or backs out, or if someone else decides to participate!
