Library Ideas

Female Detective Book Club?

I have been thinking about starting a book discussion group at St. Thomas Library featuring women sleuths like Stephanie Plum (Janet Evanovich), Kay Scarpetta (Patricia Cornwell), Joanna Brady andAli Reynolds (J.A. Jance), Alexandra Cooper (Linda Fairstein), Temperance Brennan (Kathy Reichs), Maura Isles (Tess Gerritsen), Tess Monaghan (Laura Lippman), Anna Pigeon (Nevada Barr), Sharon McCone (Marcia Muller), Kinsey Millhone (Sue Grafton), Irene Kelly (Jan Burke), and the Women's Murder Club (James Patterson, et al.). Would anyone be interested? I could probably hold it on a Monday or Thursday afternoon or evening or on a Saturday morning or afternoon per month. We would generally use paperback copies to keep the price down for participants. So most months would cost less than $4.00 per book. Some copies of each title would be available as free loans form the library system. The group would select the author/series/title for each session. We could start with suggestions made here. Please let me know if other libraries along the Route 30 corridor or other days and times would be preferred. I will try to be flexible to respond to the greatest interest.
