I decided on this one as soon as the book arrived: The Bittlemores by Jann Arden.

Both my book club and my reading group have come up trumps this month:

Planning to read Nine Black Robes by Joan Biskupic.

So far, this is on my list:

Ariadne by Jennifer Saint
Streetkid by Jimmy Kelly
A June of Ordinary Murders by Conor Brady

I'm thinking I'll read Any Other Name by Craig Johnson and Talking to the Dead by Harry Bingham.

ignore me, wrong thread.

At this point I am planning on reading Mother May I by Joshilyn Jackson and Palisades Park by Alan Brennert.

I'm planning on Pebble & Dove by Amy Jones as my 'J' book and The Boys from Santa Cruz by Jonathan Nasaw as my 'B' book. Nasaw is an old favorite of mine, and I've been meaning to read Pebble & Dove for a while now!
