Happy Spring time friends, with the weather warming up we’re taking a bit of a road trip this month, as the April theme is Road less Traveled.

Hitchhikers, travel horror, destinations turned wrong, creepy hotels along the way... I think we can find some really neat things to read together. Let’s see your best noms 😊

*Please do not nominate books that we have read as a group before and no self author promo.

Recent group reads can be found here:
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...


Nominations that get +1 have a greater chance of making the poll.




This will run through 3/15 - 3/20 and then we get to vote on the poll :) top two picks who are winners will be our April group reads.

Cyclops Road by Jeff Strand Cyclops Road
Not really sure how scary this is but it is Jeff Strand and it is a road trip so it's gotta be good.

James Wilson | 3 comments I would like to suggest “The Hitcher” :

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

Five bodies. One serial killer. And a terrified woman's will to survive...
Tina Duggar lives a quiet life in Bay County, Florida, working for animal control and spending time with her significant other, Investigator Mike Parker.But a road trip with two of her closest friends takes a deadly turn after they pick up a mysterious blue-eyed hitcher...and Tina's life is suddenly shattered. Her fun outing turns into a bloodbath as the hitcher begins brutally slaughtering innocent girls along the interstate, forcing Tina to watch. Saving her for last. With her time running out and the police, the FBI, and even Mike himself desperately searching for her, Tina is forced into a terrifying game of wits with one of the most horrific serial killers Florida has seen since Bundy. But will she survive the twisted mind of... the hitcher?

No, but it's not advisable to nominate or +1 too many choices. It's best to stick the book or 2 you MOST want to read to give them a better chance of making the poll/winning.

From the reviews that I've read these are more like nonfiction travel brochures, so not exactly what we're looking for.

I read Feast more than 20 years ago, I think... it's still living rent free in my brain! Just ran into a cool review of it by Grady Hendrix.
