Junk Novel Roulette: Round 1 – Mike Beeman vs. These Books
We’re all about fun and games here at C4, so here’s a new one. Every once and a while, we’ll put up a bunch of trashy novels we’ve gathered from the street, and force one of our contributors to read and review one. In this first round, the lucky reader will be Mike Beeman. I’ve placed a picture of 8 such novels below. Take a look at them–food-themed murder novels, some fantasy/romance, plenty of sauciness. Then, vote on which one you think Mike should have to read. Happy Birthday, Mike. The poll below will determine your “present” from C4. [Update: The poll will close Sunday 7/18 at noon. You can vote more than once, so have at.]
Which book should Mike read?
- The Main Corpse (9%, 8 Votes)
- The Cereal Murders (29%, 26 Votes)
- Hellion (9%, 8 Votes)
- Never Deceive a Duke (35%, 32 Votes)
- Queen of Darkness (5%, 5 Votes)
- The Godmother (7%, 6 Votes)
- A Sorcerer and a Gentleman (8%, 7 Votes)
- Miss Wonderful (12%, 11 Votes)
Total voters: 91

I hope Never Deceive a Duke wins.
I’m pulling for Hellion. I gave it to Sean for Marco’s Birthday, so I was surprised to see it on the list. He must have finished it already…
Never Deceive a Duke is the winner. Look for Mike’s review of this surely gripping novel later this summer. The next round of Junk Novel Roulette will pull from the remaining 7 books here. Stay tuned.
