I got the audio book and have to see if I got the hardback.
I just finished the audiobook, thought it was terrific! Very funny, with loads of energy, and scary too.
Mod
There will be a chapter breakdown posted eventually. You need to do one set of DQs for the 7% Challenge. You can post your review at the end of the "buddy read," if you desire, ❀Oo❀.
Mod
I meant write. But, I guess I should amend that to "volunteer." Someone may do them all. **shrugs** Who knows? Or maybe you can join together with others on your Team and write a day's worth together?
Mod
Ok, I officially volunteer to write a days worth of DQs for this book
:)
I actually picked this up at the library today in hardcover. I'd love to hear the audio. I can take a peek at it and present some different options for a Chapter Breakdown.I'll also see if we can have it not overlap with A Discovery of Witches, Karen.
Mod
I haven't picked up A Discovery of witches yet, but I'll do that next week and have a stab at a reading schedule :)
I'm not sure if I'll be the main mod on this or not, Karen. Some of the other mods might join in, too. I'll keep you posted.
Willaful, ❀Oo❀, Karen, about how many pages - or percent of the book - can you read a day?
Mod
But I'm happy with whatever pace people prefer as I always have a few books on-the-go at any one time :)
I tend to be behind no matter what (someday I'll take a speed reading class or something) so I'll go with whatever the group wants.

Also, I thought for this to count for 7%, we only had to answer DQs, not actually write up some of the questions.
I know the Mods will need help doing the DQs for this one, JoLene. It is quite a "chunkster."
Ok, but to get the points for as category 4, do we have to create discussion questions or just answer and participate in the discussion.
Mod
We are discussing it.
I would like to participate in this group read. I can create a set of DQ's for the 7/7 task. :-)
Great, Sandy! Thanks so much.
When do we start reading this book?

I'm happy to sign up for the June 3 set of questions.....going to Library tomorrow to get the book.
Great, JoLene! Thanks.
I'll have to see if I can figure out digital loans from my public library. Sounds like an interesting book! :]
Neat, Kayla! I hope you can join us.
Mod
I am on a waiting list for this book at my library. I am hoping it will come in on time?Question: If we can't read a book at the scheduled time can we come back and discuss the questions when we get the book? Could this be applied to the 7% Comp in some way? (I am actually on the waiting list for all 3 botm's for this month ~ frustrating because I want to read them all!)
Yes, Cathie. The Mods are discussing things, but that option looks very good.
Oh good gooey guys with muffins!! lol. Keeping my hopes up!
Mod
This is my first time reading with y'all! Super excited!
Neat, Kaleen! Welcome.
Lisa Kay, feel free to give me a set of DQ's. Thanks!
Yay! I have the hardcopy. I'd best get to the library and pick up the CDs.
Mod
Got my copy from the library! Can't wait to start!
Picked mine up at the library today --- it's a bit large since they only have hard covers. Always nice to read and get a workout at the same time :-D
Mod
It is times like that I love my kindle! Even the paperback is pretty hefty, so I can only imagine what you will be holding :)
I know --- I'm trying not to buy more books when the library has them, but I might need a new rule that says if the book is more than 500 pages --- I can buy on the Kindle. I mean, really --- it's an issue of safety :-D
LOl, but then you wouldn't get your workout JoLene :-)
Mod
;)

Synopsis:
Evie O'Neill has been exiled from her boring old hometown and shipped off to the bustling streets of New York City--and she is pos-i-toot-ly thrilled. New York is the city of speakeasies, shopping, and movie palaces! Soon enough, Evie is running with glamorous Ziegfield girls and rakish pickpockets. The only catch is Evie has to live with her Uncle Will, curator of The Museum of American Folklore, Superstition, and the Occult--also known as "The Museum of the Creepy Crawlies."
When a rash of occult-based murders comes to light, Evie and her uncle are right in the thick of the investigation. And through it all, Evie has a secret: a mysterious power that could help catch the killer--if he doesn't catch her first.
