Hi, all.

Nancy and I are switching around this month. So I'm asking, what do ya wanna read in March?

Let's leave this wide open: Cozy or hard-boiled? Golden Age or post-WWII? International espionage or rural noir? Whodunit or thriller? Detective, professional or detective, amateur or detective, no? Modern or historical or future? Serious or funny? Some combination of the above or something else entirely?

It's all up to you, and the usual disclaimers apply:
1. do NOT nominate your own book
2. if your book wins the poll vote you will be leading the discussion. Obviously you shouldn't nominate a book if you don't wish to participate.

Have fun!

Also, please check the group's bookshelf to make sure we haven't read your nomination in the last couple of years.

Thank you, Randy -- I appreciate you taking over for me. ❤

On another note, I've had The Neon Rain by James Lee Burke sitting unread on my shelves forever so I'll nominate that one.

Hi, Robin.

Much as I admire THE BIG SLEEP, I won't include that in the poll because it was just read by the Buddy Group, Reading the Movies.

Sorry, but please feel free to offer another book.
