I saw something that said April is National Mystery Month, so I think we could read a mystery next time. Does anyone have any suggestions? Any mysteries you've been wanting to read but haven't gotten around to? Let me know and we'll see if there are enough copies available for it to be the selection for next month.

I was thinking about an Agatha Christie since we have tons of them. I will investigate that, and the Robert Harris one sounds familiar as well, thanks for the suggestions! Will set up a poll soon.

Jeanne What about "Of Mice and Men"... I read it when I was in highschool (and that was many, many moons ago) and would love to read it again with his new book coming out in July!

Jeanne Oh wait! That is not a mystery!

I just discovered that if you are using the Goodreads app, you can't see the polls. If possible, use Goodreads on a computer and then you can see the choices for April--click on Polls under group home. If you hover over the covers shown, you can see the titles better and then you can look them up to find out more about them.

The choices for April are:

Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

An Officer and A Spy by Robert Harris: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

Natchez Burning by Greg Isles: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

Night Film by Marisha Pessl: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

The Handsome Man's Deluxe Café by Alexander McCall Smith:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

These all seem like great books to me, and I think whichever one we pick will be awesome!

Sorry the poll function is so cumbersome, but it's easier for me to see at a glance what people want to read, instead of having to tally up results from comments here. Thanks!
