So the poll's getting pushed back to Saturday because of a lack of recs! But in the meantime, here's the google doc. Send us any recs you have!

I have a book to suggest;

Dead Things by Stephen Blackmoore (Genre: Supernatural crime noir)

A schmuck of a mage, Eric Carter, learns that his sister has been murdered and no one knows by whom. After being estranged from the city he grew up in for fifteen years, he finds himself returning back to Los Angeles to solve her death. But the city he ran away from all those years ago isn't so inviting and neither is anyone in it. Can he solve his sister's death while still maintaining his sanity or will he lose himself in the world of Los Angeles ghosts, mages and forgotten gods?

Has anyone recced 'Bellman and Black'? It's really good.

no, but you must rec with title/author/short summary if you would like to rec it :)

Gotcha.

Title: Bellman and Black
Author: Diane Setterfield
Short summary I stole from Goodreads: Bellman & Black is a heart-thumpingly perfect ghost story, beautifully and irresistibly written, its ratcheting tension exquisitely calibrated line by line. Its hero is William Bellman, who, as a boy of 11, killed a shiny black rook with a catapult, and who grew up to be someone, his neighbours think, who "could go to the good or the bad." And indeed, although William Bellman's life at first seems blessed—he has a happy marriage to a beautiful woman, becomes father to a brood of bright, strong children, and thrives in business—one by one, people around him die. And at each funeral, he is startled to see a strange man in black, smiling at him. At first, the dead are distant relatives, but eventually his own children die, and then his wife, leaving behind only one child, his favourite, Dora. Unhinged by grief, William gets drunk and stumbles to his wife's fresh grave—and who should be there waiting, but the smiling stranger in black. The stranger has a proposition for William—a mysterious business called "Bellman & Black" . . .

Thanks!

What about The City & the City by China Mieville? I keep wanting to get around to giving it a read.

that has not been recced. Please post a rec following the (brief and easy) rules and it will be included!

I hope this is right.
Title: The City & the City
Author: China Mieville
Genre: procedural/sci-fi/weird fiction
Summary: Inspector Tyador Borlú of the Extreme Crime Squad finds deadly conspiracies beneath a seemingly routine murder. From the decaying Beszel, he joins detective Qussim Dhatt in rich vibrant Ul Qoma, and both are enmeshed in a sordid underworld. Rabid nationalists are intent on destroying their neighboring city, and unificationists dream of dissolving the two into one.

Yep! All we need is a title, author, and short summary - that way we can link the doc to this comment and people can get a quick idea of what the book's about. I'll add this tonight :)

oooh, thank you so much for doing this!

I don't know if last night's got any more responses either, but I'll update the doc tomorrow. (right now, I'm just exhausted -_-)

Thank you again (and Bigpaw as well) for organizing this!!!

You're quite welcome! ^^
