Reading Lists

How we decide our book list: Every November, our group votes on the following years’ mystery fiction list. This follows a discussion in which we talk about potential themes, make suggestions, and do all manner of bribing and cajoling others to vote for our choices. Any member of our group can make suggestions, but only those who attend the November meeting get to vote. Now everyone knows who to blame!

Previous Years’ Lists: You can also find previous years’ book lists in this section. You’ll notice that our themes change, and occasionally we have read a common book and common author. We always read two books each month, as we enjoy comparing and contrasting. In 2017 we decided that we would try not having a common theme. We’ve been pleasantly surprised as to how each month’s books seem to fall together without our forcing it.
