The day before the event takes place (June 26, in this case!), I will send everyone who has signed up via email a direct Zoom link that you can use to tune in for this book discussion. Joining in this virtual buddy read and book discussion is easy! Simply read Nesbø’s THE SON on your own schedule over the next month (find some suggested places you can buy the book below!), and register via email at the link below. It is going to be such a pleasure to discuss this book with her, and with you all! So how do you participate in #ReadWithCBTB? She will be the perfect guest host for this first event. For our first #ReadWithCBTB event, I am so, so excited to be joined by Gilly Macmillan, internationally-bestselling author of numerous psychological suspense novels including The Nanny and What She Knew, to discuss THE SON in June! Gilly is a brilliant crime writer in her own right, and she’s a huge fan of Nesbø’s work, too. Our first #ReadWithCBTB pick will be Jo Nesbø’s brilliant standalone novel THE SON-a chilling revenge thriller set in Oslo, Norway. Many of our book discussions moving forward will be pegged to new crime fiction releases, but for our first #ReadWithCBTB event, I just had to start with a book by my personal favorite author, Jo Nesbø. (Bonus: the authors of the books we’re reading might, if we’re lucky, pop in to say hello to the buddy-reading crew via email!) The idea here is to bring all different voices and perspectives to share in the crime book-discussing fun! These special events will take place periodically, so be sure to register via the link below to stay up-to-date on all the latest #ReadWithCBTB news.

Book discussions will take place over Zoom Webinar, and each book discussion will pair yours truly with a different guest host to join in the conversation! These guest hosts will be crime writers, but here’s the fun catch: they will NOT be the author of the book we’re discussing. I am so thrilled to share a brand-new virtual event series launching on Crime by the Book this summer: #ReadWithCBTB! This virtual event series will provide crime readers from around the world the chance to come together to read and discuss a CBTB-approved crime novel. #REadWithCBTB Book Pick: THE SON by Jo Nesbø Book Discussion: Jat 12:00 PM EST Guest Host: Gilly Macmillan
