date

I am thinking Anne Holt. I just grabbed her book from the library last night.
is it one of her earlier ones Naomi? I read like book 8, but saw that her other ones were supposed to be released later on this year
It is http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13...I am not seeing the version I have on the drop down menu
nice! I was so confused in the one I read...so looking forward to this one
I just saw and my library has it in...plus it looks like all her other books are now available in english
Hey Dee...Amazon has Sara Blaedel's new book Farewell to Freedom coming out Dec. 2nd. Technically she could be author of the month in December.
it wasn't showing that date yesterday...lol!
it wasn't I swear!! lol!
Has James Thompson been author of the month yet? If nor I nominate him.
Yep he was back in march
Dee, where is Quentin? Does he have #3 out yet?
Not that I know of - next year I think...
No suggestions from me this time. I teach and with classes back in session my (pleasure) reading time is serverly curtailed. Looks like I'll be and observer for a while, rather than a participant.
It's like crickets on nominations... I know there are more out there...
We can put SB back on the list, Dee
its like crickets...c'mon - you guys must have more ideas...
ok, so talking to naomi - we are going to make a change - in order for an author to be eligible they need to have only 2 books released in English - hopefully this will broaden our options and find some new authors ;)let the mad rush for nominations begin...
Dee...do you want to throw Quentin in or save him for the Author Celebration for March we were talking about. are we sliding Sara into the Dec. slot?
I think slide Sara in for December and Q for March
I agree. Do you want to write something up on Author of Month or do you want me to?
could you please ;) i'm going to be away from my computer for the next few hours
Yeah, give me some time.

We can also do Lars Kepler under the new rules. Also, Hakan Nesser. Did we do him already?
we did do Hakan - in March maybe...
Oh, that is right because I tried to get the book then.
i only remember cause I bought the audiobook and never listened - but I am right now - not bad, but I have images of Lizzie Borden in my head
Borkmann's Point- the person is an axe murderer and I have the lizzie borden took an axe ditty stuck in my head
I think I bought Mind's Eye for my Kindle, but didn't have time to read it then. I will try to participate, but won't nominate. I'll just try to find a book by chosen authors. I have yet to read one in this genre that I haven't liked ... not that I've read that many.
I'm with the Maj Sjowall group. Tired of Roseanne staring at me.
Any interest here in Liza Marklund? I bought Red Wolf this summer and would love to pull it off the shelf.
