Thanks for keeping us organized, Ann. Breaking the Dark sounds right up my alley; they had me at "Luke Cage" and "S.A. Cosby"!!Off to see if it's on order at any of my libraries.
Now for an option to consider for July. This is from a different thread where we were discussing Breaking the Dark by Lisa Jewell. Do we have others as well as this one to consider?
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
“Breaking the Dark, the first book in the brand-new Marvel Crime series, introduces fans to a grittier, street-level side of the Marvel Universe, and will continue with original novels featuring fan-favorite characters like Luke Cage, written by S.A. Cosby, and Daredevil, written by Alex Segura.”
By the way, I recently started the May-2024 Group Read Book, Where the Guilty Hide by Annette Dashofy and it grabbed me right up. we picked a good one for a fast read.

I'm in for Breaking the Dark by Lisa Jewell for July. I don't have any others for consideration for now.

Can't wait to discuss it with everyone. Thanks to Gail for recommending it!
After realizing I posted twice about adding the new Lisa jewell - I have added it! :)2024 Group Read books (so far)

I'll read anything she writes :)
Hi, I've just bought Where the Guilty Hide on Kindle for 99p in the UK. I'll start reading this later this week after I've finished my current book The Bad Weather Friend
Brian - that sounds good, enjoy! Our group discussion for this book are here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/group...

Ann, I just attended an author event with Stuart Tupton being interviewed by Peter Swanson, and it was very entertaining. I haven't read any of his books but I think The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle was a group read, correct? The new one, The Last Murder at the End of the World sounds intriguing. I wonder if anyone is interested in reading? If so we could add this to our upcoming group reads.

Fantastic, Gail!
Thanks for the suggestion Carol, I think that would be great! Like Gail, I also had it on my tbr already. :)Carol/Bonadie wrote: "Ann, I just attended an author event with Stuart Tupton being interviewed by Peter Swanson, and it was very entertaining. .......

I heard on one of my podcasts that there will be a sequel to The Plot by Jean Hanff Korelitz coming out in October. It's called, appropriately enough, The Sequel.We did The Plot as a Group Read a while ago and I can't imagine (view spoiler). Possible Group Read?
Carol/Bonadie wrote: "I heard on one of my podcasts that there will be a sequel to The Plot by Jean Hanff Korelitz coming out in October. It's called, appropriately enough, The Sequel...."
you''re right ,carol. i got a copy of it in the mail the other day from the publisher.
Carol, great idea! We need to add this new The Sequel for October as another one of our group reads! I’ll have to refresh my memory on The Plot. ;)

I remember a good deal of it but I'll definitely want to review, in whatever way I can, the last few chapters. I'm curious as to how she will pick up a sequel....
Do we read a book in November? Any ideas?....
How about the first book in Richard Osman's new series, We Solve Murders
Gail, we do need a November book! (and a December book) 😀 I have been eyeing the new Richard Osman book too- sounds like a great idea; anyone else interested?

Thanks Gail and Sherry: Ok! adding for November We Solve Murders. It was just released this week, so I went ahead and put it on hold; a several weeks wait - but wow, November is creeping up on us!

I wonder if anyone wants to read the next in the series by Annette Dashofy, the first of which we read earlier this year. We normally don't read series so as not to leave out people who have not read previous entries (and want to). When it was available on Kindle for $2.99 I bought it. It's called Keep Your Family Close and is billed as "a Detective Honeywell mystery."
I'd love to. I bought it then as well. It's on my list for 2025 but I have 100 different ways to replace it, so I'm good!
Carol and Gail, I am also on board for reading book two from Annette Dashify: Keep Your Family Close as a group read. I must have bought it for Kindle too, it’s in my library. Surely I can get my print TBR 📚📚📚under control enough to get to it in December. 😀
I added the December 2024 entry for Keep Your Family Close! this is a foillow-up to May's group read of Where the Guilty Hide. Another late 2024 or early 2025 book suggestion could be Alter Ego by Alex Segura. This is a continuation of the Marvel universe books started with our Aug-2024 Group Read of Lisa Jewell's Breaking the Dark.
