Just an FYI - we are going to cut off nominations at 3 this month to see if it helps alleviate the issue of ties when having fewer voters. We'll see what happens!

The Bone Readers by Jacob Ross

Set in a fictional island in the Caribbean, the author was born in Grenada, which is the country I will be reading for.

First in a mystery duo.

Amanda Dawn | 299 comments Nice! Ali and Nino is also available on my library's hoopla, so that might be a free option for others who have it as well.
