We are calling for nominations both for the recent (within 5 years) and older (10+ years) for the Crime group read.

When nominations close (at the end of October) we will have a poll (for November) to pick the groups next books. This will allow a month for people to find the books.

Please nominate one book only for the recent and older Crime poll (it can be true crime) and tell us why you have nominated it.

In Cold Blood by Truman Capote OLD

Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets by David Simon NEW

Your excuse is you need to read it before the movie is released :P

Oh, Brenda I loved In Clood Blood, it's a brilliant book.

That's good Elaine! What are you going to nominate?

I'm not sure Brenda. What about Ed's book A Dark Place to Die? He's a member here and it sounds like a good read.Plus it's on my TBR list and I sure do need to lessen that!!! I'm more than happy to second one that you guys choose...you know more about this genre than I do.

I haven't read a Raymond Chandler book before & KL recommended The Lady in the Lake for my first so I'm nominating this book for my 'Old' one

And my nomination for New book is A Beautiful Place To Die by Malla Nunn - bought this book ages ago and still haven't read it.

A Dark Place To Die by Ed Chatterton for your NEW choice Elaine...do you have a choice for an OLD (over 10 years since publication) book?

One that's been on my bookshelf for years and I've been meaning to read is The Black Dahlia by James Ellroy. He's not easy to read, though.

Good choice Elaine! It's quite popular, going on most of the reviews.

So let me do this properly. My NEW choice is A Dark Place To Die by Ed Chatterton. My OLD choice is The Black Dahlia by James Ellroy.

There you go:)

Thanks to you Brenda, I had a "light bulb" moment and got the hang of this. I always wondered how people were highlighting their book choices. Duh!!!!
