A Good Thrillerdiscussion

The time has come to choose your book selections for your January 2020 read in the PIFM challenge.

The rules are:-

* You can choose any number of books. A minimum of two and up to a maximum of 10.

* Please, only ONE MESSAGE per member. That means NO REPLYING or CHATTING in this thread.

* Once you have made your selections and posted, when your votes start to come in you can then add your votes cast by other members beneath your book titles ie the following might be how my list would look:-

The Good Samaritan - Will Carver
x 1 - Janet

Fatal Promise - Angela Marsons
x 1 - Perri
x 1 - Val

How you post is your choice, you can link, do pictures, the above is just an example. The key is that you stick with the one message and update it as the votes come in. Your list can be placed when the January 2020 threads go up.

I review for magazines and newspapers, so am fortunate to get some books ahead of time. My first time doing PIFM, seems fun.
