The Poisoned Pen’s Book Clubs

by

Once in a while, it’s time to remind you about the Poisoned Pen’s Book Clubs. July is perfect as the dividing point in the year.

The new cycle begins with July to December, earning members of each club but Mystery of the Month a $25 Gift Certificate to spend in January. January seems a long way off but we already see a wealth of wonderful books publishing then.
Here’s what you need to know about the Book Clubs.
