Thought it would be fun to go with a bit of a different genre for the next book.
1. Still Life - Book 1 of a well loved Canadian mystery series. Book 20 comes out this year so plenty more to read if you enjoy the series.
2. Pattern Recognition - Book 1 of a science fiction series. There are 3 books in this series.
Full disclosure - I mainly read fiction so I haven't read either of these - but would love to discover a new author with you all!

Jess861 I ran out of space but I'd also like to note that William Gibson (Pattern Recognition) is Canadian but was born/raised in America and has lived in Canada for most of his adult life. This does not bother me as many Canadian authors not solely Canadian. Just wanted to note it though. (edited) 2mo

Ruthiella My vote goes to Pattern Recognition, even though I didn‘t love Neuromancer. I read Still Life a few years ago. I‘m not a Three Pines fan, unfortunately. 😂 But I could try it again. 2mo
Jess861 @Ruthiella Noted - I'm sure if we go the mystery route you could read the second book or another in the series if you wanted too instead of the first one again, lol. 2mo
mcctrish I love Louise Penny and 🌲🌲🌲 but if we go with the science fiction I bet my husband would love it (edited) 2mo
Tamra I am overbooked and feeling the pressure.😅 I will sit this one out, but I do love the Penny series. 🌲🌲🌲 (edited) 2mo
CarolynM I‘m a Three Pines fan and very much NOT a sci-fi fan. I‘ll read the most recent Penny if you go that way, or hold my nose and try the Gibson 😆 2mo
kwmg40 I‘ve read both of these so I don‘t have a preference, but I‘ll be happy to join in the discussion of whichever book is chosen. 2mo
lauraisntwilder Penny gets my vote. I've always meant to read her. 2mo
Jess861 @Ruthiella - Vote noted! From what I've read, Pattern Recognition is less science fiction and a bit more thriller then Neuromancer. 2mo
Jess861 @Tamra Totally fair 🙂 - such a busy time of year. If we do go with the Penny series you're more than welcome to join the discussions even if you don't read one when we're reading. 2mo
Jess861 @mcctrish Good to know! 2mo
Jess861 @CarolynM Thanks - vote noted! 2mo
Jess861 @kwmg40 Sounds good! Feel free to read along with any Louise Penny book if you want if we go that route. I think I'll open it up to any Louise Penny book and just leave the discussion more about the author and general things about the series (if we do go that route). Seems like alot of people have already read some of Louise Penny 2mo
Jess861 @lauraisntwilder Thanks! Vote noted. 2mo
PurpleyPumpkin I just read Still Life earlier this year! So, I‘ll vote for Pattern Recognition for this round. 2mo
Jess861 @PurpleyPumpkin Thanks! Noted. 2mo
Kitta Happy with either! I wasn‘t a huge fan of Neuromancer but Pattern recognition sounds more up my alley than Still life. But on the other hand I don‘t think I‘ve read a cosy mystery before so maybe I‘ll be pleasantly surprised! 2mo
Jess861 @Kitta Thanks! Noted. 2mo
Blueberry I will read the next of the Louise Penny series. 2mo
Jess861 @Blueberry Thanks for your vote! 2mo
