Dev’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

Hey everyone, this is a super long book so I'm going to be trying to read a set number of stories every month to keep on track. Obviously people can jump in whenever they want and skip around or whatever but the schedule I'm going to try to keep to is below. I just divided it up by # of stories and not necessarily by length so I think each month ranges in word count from 30k to 100k depending on the length of the stories. Also maybe this list will help people decide if they want to read it since it lets them see the authors featured.

Afterweird by China Miéville

ok claudia and cathy said they would BR with me so mods can we get a thread for for 1/1 or just mark it as a year long 2020 buddy ready or however you want to do it

i'd love to get some more people in as well. it's got 110 short horror stories in it and they move chronologically from 1908 to 2010 when the book was published. there's a lot of big name authors on there as well as many that i personally haven't heard of.

ok cool, i'll request a thread and hopefully other people will join in as well :) do we want to just read the next incryptid book in this thread as well? i probably won't start it til later in the week

yeah i was going to try it for TT but i think it had like 800,000 words or something ridiculous like that and i was just like okay on second thought lol but i think it would be cool to do it over a very extended amount of time

would anyone be interested in doing a year-long buddy read of The Weird: A Compendium of Strange and Dark Stories for 2020? it's got 110 horror short stories so i thought it would be a good one to spread out since it's not like you would have to worry about forgetting what happened at the beginning like you would with one long story.

idk if i asked you guys this before but i'm planning on reading The Weird: A Compendium of Strange and Dark Stories next year and since it's ridiculously long i was going to spread it out over the whole year or at least try to but would you be interested in a buddy read? there's like 110 stories so doing about 9 a month would get through the whole year

i had literally read the book before and i still couldn't remember who the murderer was lol. although i really almost never figure out who the murderer is in anything because i guess my brain is just not trained to try? idk i'm just like ok but i could just keep listening and they will tell me soooo. then i never remember, like i've read various versions of hound of the baskervilles at least 4 times and if i started reading it right now i would have NO IDEA who the murderer was. idk why but it just never sticks.

alex's marriage proposal definitely made me laugh and i think the narrator did an especially good job with making little bits like that come across. also i mean ...i know they've been dating-ish for like 3 months but it was still a BIT insta-lovey to like congrats to seanan for making that work, both with them and with verity and dominic i guess.

she's got a whole cryptid guide on her website so i think crow looks like the one on the left if you scroll down on this page

i did end up just listening to the whole thing yesterday and i definitely enjoyed it more this time. i think the first time i was just upset by the POV change because i get that way sometimes with series that jump around a lot lol

agree that i'm glad shelby (view spoiler)[wasn't covenant. that would have been a bit too 'been there done that' but probably good that she knew something about the cryptid world. i can't imagine watching one of them try to seriously date someone who has no idea lol (hide spoiler)]

i went ahead and started this morning and since i can apparently listen at 2x speed since i've read it before i might just go ahead and breeze through the whole thing today. i've gotta say that 1. the australian accent the dude does is HILARIOUS at 2x speed and 2. my eye kind of twitches every time he pronounces gorgon as 'gore-GONE' it sounds so weird.

i might try to start tonight but if not i will try to start tomorrow since i don't actually have anything going ON christmas, just crazy work before lol

the length of some of y'all's TBRs is giving me a minor heart attack lol
