We also brought goodies to share. That is always a plus. We even discussed a Mystery Book Club Cookbook. :)
We all read any books off of the list that we wanted and then shared with the group. I thought I would share the titles that the members read with you. It may give you some ideas for your next book to read.
I read A Demon Summer by G.M. Malliet. I talked about it last week.
I also started and am currently reading Queen of Hearts by Rhys Bowen. This book won Best Historical Fiction under the Agatha Awards.

There. Maybe you have a favorite author in the list or try someone new. All of the MBC members liked their choices. Good reads for summer!
Good job on keeping a list of books mentioned. I started making one and then left a few off. There was a lot of variety in the books read.
