Hi,

Not sure if this is the right place to post this but, what is considered Cornell Woolrich's "best' novel... "The Btide Wore Black"

Thanks,
Bob

Hi, Bob. I'm creating a "Cornell Woolrich" thread under the "Favorite Authors/Books/Series" group of subjects and responding to this there.

Just curious as to how this list was curated. Of the 7 books listed, none are by female authors. Seems......odd.

hmm, odd that when all the books are by female authors, nobody makes this type of comment. Almost all lists have only a single, or 2 at the most, male authors and still- nobody makes this type of comment

The nominations for January were "Your Choice", nothing specific about the author was in the parameters to be used.

Hi, Elizabeth.

The lists for monthly reads aren't curated in any formal sense. Under "Discussion" you can find the calls for nominations: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/group...

The calls often suggest a topic or time period or sub-genre, and if you look at past polls you'll see that there are often as many or more works by female writers as by male. But the suggestions are all up to the members of the forum. Please feel welcome to submit your own suggestions when the call goes out. We're looking for as wide a range of works as possible within whatever parameters are set for that month.

Randy - thank you for the explanation! Much appreciated.

Hi, I suggested this book and was sloppy in not noticing that there were two authors listed for this book. The second author is female.

More interesting , here is a short writup of the qualifications of the second author - KATRIN JAKOBSDOTTIR is the Prime Minister of Iceland. Reykjavik is her first novel. Katrin holds a Masters‘ Degree in Icelandic literature, and has been a member of parliament since 2007. Previously she held the position of Minister of Education. Katrin wrote her masters

Randy, this was the only way I could find to message you on the GoodReads App.

But, I suggested Reykjavik. If it does come in second, will there be a second discussion for Reykjavik? Or just for the first winner? If so, I would be leading the discussion?
Thanks Linda

Hi, Linda.

No problem. The top two books both have discussion threads set up for them.

Randy

ok, thanks
