Mystery/Thriller Reading Friends discussion

I just checked the website https://www.bouchercon2022.com/ and saw some exciting news... Jo Nesbo, SA Cosby and Alexander McCall Smith are a few of the guest hosts. The cherry on the cake would be if John Sandford were going to appear, but I suspect they would have announced him already.

Anybody going besides me and Jan G? I hope some of you midwesterners and west coasters will be there at least. it's been awhile (I'm talking to you Sandi, Mel, Ceelee...)

It takes place Sept. 8-11. Btw, 2023 is in San Diego (never visited, want to go), 2024 is Nashville (hello AnnR!) and 2025 is New Orleans (nothing more need be said on that!) so I guess I'll be going to the next few.

Not sure about MN, but San Diego next year and Nashville the following are pretty much "for sures"! San Diego is one of our "happy places" and it's been over 30 years since I was last in Nashville!

I would love to see everyone but not sure that I will be able to get away this year. I am definitely interested in San Diego (I have also never been) and Nashville.

2024 Nashville!! It's very exciting!

Just joined this group after searching for Bouchercon on Goodreads. I will be attending my first Bouchercon this weekend, and am really looking forward to it (although there are so many unknowns!) I'm a reader who strayed from mysteries/thrillers for a long time, but have been back for a couple years now. It was an easy decision to go to the conference, because it's just a few miles from home.

Amy- enjoy the conference! It looks to be a lot of fun!
