Suggestions for June group read

[Kate]

Hi everyone,

Time to start thinking about what we'd like to read in June.

[Kate]

I'm putting forward Storm Front

[Addy]

I'll nom Crota by Owl Goingback

[Justin]

Surrounded By Bastards

New crime novel by Brian Smith. Is .99 right now and something different from what we usually read.

[Addy]

Sounds good Justin. Will it be .99 cents for long?

[Justin]

Not sure

[Justin]

Looks like the sale ended is 2.99 now. Sorry

[Addy]

That's ok. I realized it's a kindle-unlimited title so if it wins, I can read it.

[Andy]

I'd love to reread the first few dresden books... and keep reading 'em.

[Andy]

I nominate either Desperation or Insomnia, two more recent King classics that I need to cross off my list. Anyone interested?

[Kate]

I could be tempted by Desperation but not until June/July.

[Paul]

How's about Donna Tartt - The Goldfinch or Lonesome Dove. Couple of biggies there.

[Andy]

I've wanted to read Lonesome Dove forever.

[Addy]

I never finished the goldfinch. I'd be down with that one. It's a huge read though.

I'd like to read this eventually someday before I die. It's huge though so it doesn't necessarily have to be today.

[Maxine Marsh]

Some good suggestions! I'll nominate Last Days , looks like a hell of a scary read.

[Kate]

Oops, I forgot to set up the poll. I'll have it done shortly.

[Kate]

Just put up the poll.

[Addy]

I voted for Last Days and went to check how much it is and much to my delight, I found that I had purchased it a year ago and still haven't read it..lol. Hope it wins!

Whoot! It looks like a fun, scary read.

[Justin]

It looks good and if it wins I will look for a copy and join, I'm rooting for surrounded by bastards though.

[Paul]

Every books a winner on this poll, there's six books I really want to read, we should read 2 :)

[Justin]

We don't have enough participation for two. we barely have enough people for one and if you split it in half with two books you might as well just skip the group read and do budy reads instead. You could always suggest a budy read though.

[Justin]

There are a couple that I would budy read If they didn't win.

[Maxine Marsh]

I would too Justin! I've had a copy of Storm Front on my shelf for ages and there's a Stephen King challenge going on around here somewhere...and the Bryan Smith book is on unlimited so that's good too.

[Kimberly]

I just joined this group--can't wait to see what titles are up. I need a group read that I can take my time with for once! ;)

[Paul]

Hi Kim, slow reading is the way forward. I must say there is 4 books I really want to read here, the Bryan Smith & Adam Nevill + the two I suggested earlier, so if any one wants to buddy read after the votes in and the books finished.

[Kimberly]

The Adam Nevill was my second choice--I'd be in for a buddy read of that.

Yay, Kimberly's here! There's a poll for next month's read up now.

I'd definitely like to set up some buddy reads once the poll is over and we know what the group read is going to be.

I had to follow when I saw everyone I knew was here! :D I expect this will be a great group for discussions!!

Hi Kimberly! Welcome to the "other" horror group.

Welcome to the group!

[Kimberly]

Thank you!

[Kate]

Hi Kimberly. :D
Great to see you over here!!!

[Andy]

This is my favorite group on GR by far.

[Justin]

That's just because HA don't have an alcohol thread!

[Andy]

So true... so true... I'm brewing this weekend btw.

[Kimberly]

There's an alcohol thread? Searching...

I blew an Audible credit on this today in case it comes up again.

I think it's like 30+ hours but I'm down for that.

[Paul]

I've got the audio but the time is putting me off, same as swan song at 30+ hours, would take me month. That would be perfect for a paced read/listen though.
