That's great Becke! I have enjoyed all the authors you have featured in June and all the books I read from the lists have been really great!

 

I'll have to get busy and check out these authors for August!

Pen - I don't expect anyone to read ALL these books, but I love to introduce you to new authors. It's especially fun to bring in well-known authors AND debut authors, so you can meet old friends and new. 
I tried this in February with our Month of Romantic Suspense and it was a lot of fun. I kept the schedule a secret back then so you never knew who would be visiting the next day. That was fun, but this time I decided to post the whole schedule in advance. I'll be adding authors and dates as I get the confirmations. Keep checking the list!

Re: Mystery Book Club in August

Okay, I'm a little obsessive - I'll admit it. But the text application here is driving me up the wall! I'm trying to "unbold" the dates so the authors names show up better, but some of them won't stay unbolded. I change the words to normal text, and when I click "post" they change back to bold right in front of my eyes.

 

The B&N computer gnomes are out to get me. (But I'm not paranoid. Seriously.)

Between B&N, fiction writing, garden writing and reading, it doesn't leave a lot of time, but it's fun!

Thanks, Becke, for getting Alexandra Sokoloff in for August. She writes some creepy novels.

Becke:

 

Robert Gregory Browne (8/30) spells his name with an "e" on the end of Browne. I had a hard time finding his books with the other spelling.
