I wanted to share a few of the mystery books that our Mystery Book Club read for our June meeting. These are books that either have won an award or are nominated for an award this year. We all choose a book or books from this list and share at the meeting. Sounds strange? Everyone actually loves it and looks forward to the list we compile for easy reference.

I always love the June meeting, Gayle. So fun to hear what others have chosen to read and we always come away with a good list of 'new-to-us' books to try. :-)
