I heard from Karen Harper that they do not need to be read in order -- a relief for me since I too have not read the first one!
I started with the first one, I'm almost done and have loved it. I like the mystery aspect of it. Keeps me guessing!

Is there a way to tell who all is reading the month's selection? Or should I ask, is there an easy way to tell? It would be nice to know when we're all done so we can chat it up.
We must all be busy reading since there hasn't been much discussion about too much of anything.

How books are chosen: On the 1st of the month we begin nominations for the following month's read. We close voting on the 15th and randomly select one book from the suggestions. This gives us enough time to find a copy of the book before the next month begins so that we can all start reading at the same time! Joining the Group Reads chats is purely optional and you can skip a month if you're too busy or not interested in a book.

I've got a question... for our monthly selection, are we better off
(a) suggesting older releases in hopes of completing series or
(b) suggesting newer releases?

Me too, Diane. I'm hoping we'll get responses from others in our reading group. We know they're out there!

How books are chosen: On the 1st of the month we begin nominations for the following month's read. We close voting on the 15th and randomly select one book from the suggestions. This gives us enough time to find a copy of the book before the next month begins so that we can all start reading at the same time! Joining the Group Reads chats is purely optional and you can skip a month if you're too busy or not interested in a book.
