Dee (austhokie) | 652 comments Thanks to Dalia for this idea!

In addition to the monthly group read, we are also going to feature an Author of the Month. This will give us the opportunity to read various books from different points in the series.

Rules
The author needs to have at least 3 books either published, or in the process of being published (release date available)

Nominations will be open until the 27th. We will vote from then until the 31st.

message 11: by Dee, the Insanity Check (new)

Dee (austhokie) | 652 comments that's what I was thinking!


Lyn (Readinghearts) (lsmeadows) Her first book, Missing, comes highly recommended by a friend of mine that is really into Nordic Noir (and happens to work at our local Barnes & Noble).

Me too. I'm in the middle of the snowman and loving it.


message 15: by Helen (new)

Helen | 15 comments I just finished The Snowman and I loved it. This book went in so many directions and just when you thought you had it figured out , Jo threw another curve ball! Will switch now to something American but will be back again soon to read the Leopard. He is quickly becoming one of my favourite authors along with Mankell.
Any recommendations on Camilla Lackberg. The Book Club sow on C4 were not in love with her last book but they said it may be down to the translation???

Nawesa | 13 comments Well, I haven't read any of them... So I will just follow the crowd.


message 22: by Martha (new)

Martha (marthas48) I haven't read any either. Hoping to read Jar City this month. Not sure if I'll have time to fit in one by Jo Nesbo, but would definitely like to.
