Of course a Christmas-themed thriller for December.Single-location for January, since it's cabin fever season up here in New England anyway...
February - supernatural

You have to pick one of the three.
I'll throw one out there...how about something historical in March? The Ides of March came to mind for me, or perhaps even older? I'd basically be down for anything pre-WW1, so wide stretch lol.At any rate, there's my idea: March - (Ancient) History / Historical Fiction
How about a Train-bound Mystery or Thriller?It can be for any selected month.

Thanks for the suggestions, but I could only take one, so I took the first one. Hang on to some of these for next time, Hunter.
This topic has been frozen by the moderator. No new comments can be posted.
We're going to have a selection pool of group read themes that you suggest and we cycle through every six months.
This is the tenth cycle.
**I made September a Wild Card read since I was late getting the selection process started.**
*You can add your suggestion to the list, and/or if you really like a suggested theme, feel free to second it.
*We're not going to vote on these unless I get plenty of feedback that several readers don't want/like this process and want to go back to the old way of doing things.
*I can use the themes in order until we run out, and we'll start over again with a new pool.
Some general guidelines:
1. We will take six group themes and one alternate for each cycle. The alternate is kind of a wild card/extra just in case. It will go at the top of the list for the next cycle.
2. The themes need to be distinctive from each other. As much as possible, avoid extremely general themes. I'm going to suggest we don't pick a theme that is limited to one specific authors' books.
3. One suggestion per member per cycle (a cycle is seven months)
4. If your suggestion is not straightforward, I will ask for clarification and narrowing down. If you aren't able to do so, I will have to table the suggestion until it's clear enough for others to understand/be able to generate book choices to vote for.
5. For some reason, if we don't have seven, I will give members about a month to make a sixth and seventh suggestion and then I will close the cycle and we will just go through what we have.
6. If we get more than seven suggestions (and each one has been posted by a separate member) before the cycle closes, I'll add it to the new/next cycle.
7. The last two months before the end of the cycle, I will open up a new suggestion list to accumulate new themes.
8. We will still vote on the books as usual.
Cycle Nine Suggestions:
1. September 2025-Wild Card
2. October 2025-Spooky/Scary Action
3. November 2025-Conspiracy
4. December 2025-Christmas-themed Thriller
5. January 2026-Island Setting

7. March 2026-Ancient History/Historical Fiction
8. April 2026-Train-Bound Mystery/Thriller
