Suggest a book for a group read Showing 51-100 of 1,611

[David Sven]

I have Way of Kings sitting in my Audible Library so I'll be getting to that at some stage. At 45 hours though you will all be finished way before me.

[Hanne]

not sure, it's two books for me :)

Well I was suggesting between 4-6 weeks from now :-)

Well I was sugges..."

Would be up for a reread of Tigana, not read it for years.

[Juniper]

I would really like to read Tigana, although it's farther away for me. Few months away at least.

[Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town]

Kat wrote: "I would really like to read Tigana, although it's farther away for me. Few months away at least."

Whose this now? O.o

Do you have a good idea when would work? Do you mean December?

[Juniper]

Possibly, but honestly - I have no idea. Might be early next year too. I'll jump in if I can when you guys read it.

[Dara]

I read Tigana about a year ago but I could possibly do the discussion. If I flip through my copy, it might jog my memory. I won't re-read it though.

[Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town]

So far I've got:

Tigana
1. Rob
2. Hanne
3. MPauli
4. Kat (but likely not with the group)
5. Mark (re-read)

---
6. Dara (might join discussion)

The Way of Kings
1. MPauli
2. David Sven

--
3. Rob (might join conversation)

Blood Song
1. MPauli

--
2. Rob (would rather wait until available in Paperback)


Where are all those other voters? I guess they just liked to vote on the list and forgot about the group. Hell, we have almost 100 members now, and 45 voters on the list but maybe only 5-10 active participants. lol.

[Bill]

I would join a group read for Black Prism and Way of Kings if it was close to the release of Words of Radiance as i'm planning a reread then anyways. I have read Blood Song and Tigana recently so would join in with the discussion. I would highly recommend both.

[Dara]

I'd join discussion on The Way of Kings. What a book.

[Mark]

I can do the way of the kings, as I havent read that yet.

[Linette]

I've already read Tigana and Way of Kings, but I might be interested in Blood Song. I have a ton of commitments already for this year to get through still, so I'll wait to see what you all decide to read.

When you get to it, I do want to read Black Company and Consider Phlebus. Maybe Black Prism (but I'm reading the Night Angel trilogy in the next few months too).

[Hanne]

i'm ok for way of kings as well
(that is, tigana or way of kings at this point, not both at the same time

[Sky]

Blood Song sounds like fun, but I'd join in conversations about the other two.

[David Sven]

I'm up for Blood Song as well

[Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town]

You all are going to force me to read blood song in a format I don't like, aren't you?

[Sky]

Rob wrote: "You all are going to force me to read blood song in a format I don't like, aren't you?"

I don't want to speak for anyone else (except David Sven, with whom I collaborate on evil schemes), but yes, that is actually our only goal.

[Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town]

I figured as much. I'm going to take my fake book club and go home. You guys are mean.

Ha Ha! I'm sure there is a flowery song to be made about that somewhere.

[Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town]

Nope. Taking my fake book club and going home. Then I don't have to buy anything.

[Mpauli]

Alex wrote: "I've got 5 ARC copies that I can send to David Sven, Sky, Bill, Mpauli, and Linette."

Thanks for offering Alex. :) But as I'm a crazy person, when it comes to books, I already bought it sometime this year, after I read some positive reviews.

[Linette]

hehe :) Like I said I have lots of books to read, I'm okay with waiting until you are up for buying Blood Song.

[Bill]

Alex wrote: "I've got 5 ARC copies that I can send to David Sven, Sky, Bill, Mpauli, and Linette.

Rob already has plans to buy his own so...looks like you're on your own."

Thanks Alex, but I already have a copy as well.

[David Sven]

Yes Please! Are they digital copies? Postage might be a bit expensive to Australia otherwise? Sorry, I'm a little ignorant on how ARCs work

[Sky]

Alex wrote: "I've got 5 ARC copies that I can send to David Sven, Sky, Bill, Mpauli, and Linette."

Well, it wouldn't be much of an evil-plot-to-make-Rob-buy-a-book-in-a-format-he-doesn't-like (name in progress) if I didn't already own a copy, would it? That way I can pressure him or threaten to just read it on my own!

Thanks though, and where did you get 5 ARCs? I have a hard enough time tricking authors into giving me obtaining one or two a year! Clearly I'm doing something wrong...

[Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town]

So the updated list:

Tigana
1. Rob
2. Hanne
3. MPauli
4. Kat (but likely not with the group)
5. Mark (re-read)

---
6. Dara (might join discussion)
7. Sky (might join conversation)

The Way of Kings
1. MPauli
2. David Sven
3. Mark
4. Hanne
5. Bill (would re-read if close to release of book 2)

--
6. Rob (might join conversation)
7. Dara (might join conversation)
8. Sky (might join conversation)

Blood Song
1. MPauli
2. Linette
3. Sky
4. David

--
5. Rob (would STILL rather wait until available in Paperback)


The Black Prism
1. Bill
2. Rob

---
3. Linette (maybe)

Looks like any one of the 3 if viable, maybe do The Way of Kings closer to March however? Since I probably won't reread between now and then it doesn't matter to me when you do it.

I wonder if he really has any ARCs or if he was just joining your little conspiracy. I'm also not sure if that means he was interested in reading it with the group, or what.

[Dara]

I... I... I have Blood Song too and I would read it with everyone but I don't wanna make Rob pick up and leave!

[Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town]

Dara wrote: "I... I... I have Blood Song too and I would read it with everyone but I don't wanna make Rob pick up and leave!"

Lol.

[Kevin]

I will sign up for the Black Prism.

[Sky]

Alex wrote: "THANK YOU ROB for getting my joke. Sorry everyone else, I don't have ARCs, sadface."

Darn it, I thought you knew the secret of getting ARCs... my disappointment, it is legendary.

Okay, not really legendary. It was more that I felt bad for being the last one of the five people you mentioned who hadn't responded. I believe in my evil force-Rob-to-come-over-to-the-Kindle-side plots, darn it!

[Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town]

I can't use ebooks at work..not going to convince me to switch.

[David Sven]

I'm heartbroken :(

[Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town]

So I think there is enough interest for Tigana.

As for the others I'll leave that up to someone else to organize. I have it in audiobook. It's about 25 hours, so that will probably take me about 1.5 weeks to listen to it, so I might start a few days early.

I have Doctor Sleep and Heir of Novron to listen to first.

Is October 20th too early for everyone (apart from Kat) to start it? I figure I'll be ready to start it around the 17th or so, so that would give me a few days head start.

[Mpauli]

I'm really packed in October, so November would suit me better, but if it's from the 20th to the 20th it would give me three weeks in November.
That could work out, but I wouldn't mind if it would be 1 week later.

[Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town]

I can try to find something else to listen to after Heir of Novron. I'm not really in a rush.

[Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town]

OK, so anyone besides MPauli that said they want to read Tigana have an input?

Would the 10/27 work as a start date? Do you want to push it back to November?

It's a little harder for me to coordinate audiobooks.

Plus I have a road trip around 11/1, so if I'm starting this just before then I'll easily finish it quickly (probably well ahead of most people), so maybe it would be better to shoot for 11/10 instead..

[Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town]

I guess I scared everyone away...

[Mark]

I am still up for it.

[Sky]

I'm up for more arguments with David Sven about discussing Tigana whenever. My feelings on Mr. Kay's wordiness are well documented...

[David Sven]

Sky wrote: "My feelings on Mr. Kay's wordiness are well documented... "

Because not enough words have been expended already in expounding how wordy Kay is. One thing's for sure - We're not wordy, We're not wordy

[Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town]

Mark wrote: "I am still up for it."

Have a preference on when?

[Mark]

Any time, my reading is very flexible and be changed.

[Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town]

OK. Just need to prod Hanne and confirm with MPauli then I'll set a date.

[Mpauli]

Confirm ye away! Late Octobaaaaarrr!


Sorry, still in pirate review mode.^^

[Hanne]

do i hear my name? while being prodded even! :)

late october should be ok. november would be slightly better, i made a lot of promises for october already to be honest.

[Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town]

Alright. How about 11/10 then? That good for everyone?

[Mpauli]

Rob wrote: "Alright. How about 11/10 then? That good for everyone?"

Sounds great! Looking forward to it. :)

[Mark]

Yes that ok with.
