I’m cautiously interested, I guess.
I do have some limitation as trying to stick to audio books as well but I’ll try to get whatever is decided upon.
Sadly I don’t have any book or organization suggestions.

Thanks @Nateninja21 for the idea 
I won’t be in the book club, because I’m already reading the same books my wife is reading for her Book Club, just as a fun companionable thing to do (as long as the books are decent). 
I do wonder though, if there should be 2 separate threads, one for the Book Club, and one for other book discussions such as recommendations or deals.

The closest may be this thread so we could start one.

Man, when I was doing the search and reading some of threads/posts, I started tearing up. Now I know why a few others just left the forum.

This is still my favorite chatting/gaming forum, made a few good friends/gaming buddies through here and the conversation here is usually much more civil/polite and non-toxic, as well as informative, compared to most other places. But I totally understand what you are getting at, this place also feels different, a lot different… Almost 2 years now…

I just finished “A Little Hatred” the 7th book in the First Law World, and the beginning of the “Age of Madness” Trilogy.
All I can say about this book is it is absolutely phenomenal, it completely nails the atmosphere that was mastered in the original trilogy, which is currently my 3 favorite books of all time. This introduction to the new trilogy excites me greatly for the next 2 books, especially since I’ve heard they do nothing but get better.
It goes without saying that I highly recommend the First Law World books to anyone who is interested in grimdark fantasy. And if you are going to begin the series, I recommend not reading the description of “A Little Hatred” as it will massively spoil some important events of the original trilogy.
This is where I say to @Glider, that going through the 2 remaining First Law World standalone books, (that is if you haven’t read them already), is very much worth it to get to this trilogy. The 2 standalones, “The Heroes” and “Red Country” were actually very good, and I would recommend them even without the reward of the new trilogy. (BTW, I would not recommend reading the description of “Red Country” because I believe it spoils something in the book that could be a fun little reveal.)

In other news, Brandon Sanderson has started the 5th book in the Stormlight Archives. I don’t know about you guys, but I’ve been waiting a long time for this, and even though it’s still over a year and a half away from being done, I’m super stoked just to know that it’s in the making.

Meep. Been trying to shift my local library books. Being me, I saw this and couldn’t resist:
Death takes the Cake by Melinda Wells. Seems part of a series, but fine as a standalone story.
Also meep! Glad I can read it for free. In any case, the writing is good, the characters natural, and amen to the dialogue not being awful. It’s a whodunit and I’m halfway through.
Protagonist is a widow, formerly a policeman’s wife. Instead of teaching at a cooking school, she now hosts a cable network show. Within the support cast there is: a college enemy of 25 years prior, an Italian reporter, her best friends, a standard poodle called Tuffy and a good natured sort of boss. Della and 4 other contestants are participants in a cake competition and it’s not just the cake mix’s awful flavour that will be the death of someone.
I love mysteries where everyone is sus. I hate to see the “twist” coming. Recommended for light reading (pre seeing the ending, heh).
PS: Sad meep. Day didn’t go as planned, but this book kept me good company on the bus and at the bus stop (and made me miss a bus, lol).

Thanks, I’ll think about giving them another try. Though I’m not sure how it goes.
Spoiler/rant below
When I've read through Best Served Cold I got a very strong feeling that any outcome of any situation in short term is like a super-dramatic coin toss. It may turn bloody and brutal, or super-tense, or harmless... and may go either way. And later there will be next situation that has a high-stakes feel but actual low-impact long-term outcome. Going through this emotional roller-coaster at some point I just stopped caring about characters and the enjoyment of reading was sapped away -_-So yeah, I’ll may be give them another try later, and your post upped their chances but I’m not holding my breath.

Aw… such a cute horse.
The cozy mystery I was reading - so good, but then wrapped up the mystery kinda awkwardly. There was only one person to suspect and the killer’s motive and way of going about his so called revenge was roundabout to say the least. Sigh.
