Andrea Drew (andreadrew) | 6 comments My nominations are:
Older book: The black echo by Michael Connelly
Recent release: Sleep Tight by Rachel Abbott
(could someone inform me how to link please)
I'm not going to include or nominate Gypsy Hunted, the thriller that I recently penned as I've read it so many times it would be too much. That would be Author re-read overload :-)

Older The Black Echo by Michael Connelly

Newer Sleep Tight by Rachel Abbott

Thanks Andrea :) If you click on "add book/author" in this comment box, you then type in your book title, click "add" when the drop down box shows the correct one. Then do it again for the author :) Good luck.

Glad you didn't nominate your own title too, not the done thing :)

Thanks for your nominations DS, though these seem to be thrillers? Our quarterly nomination for this one is Crime - Thriller will be later on next year..
