That is an interesting looking book Jaime!

It's really, really good and absolutely mind-blowing to start with. (My Review).

[Sky]

Ninefox Gambit was #5 on my toread list :) I'd be interested. Not sure where it would fit in our calendar.

[Jaime]

Lindsay that is so awesome to hear. Now I am even more eager to read it.

Yeah the calendar is filling up. Maybe November?

[Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town]

I'm interested in Ninefox. Maybe Nov or Dec?

Apparently, we all slept on Lindsay recommending it the first time..

[Geoff]

I'm in for The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet and Ninefox Gambit. For whenever you want it on the schedule.

Probably in for The Rise of Io but I doubt my library will have it in right away.

[Teanka]

I'd like to read Terms of Enlistment (possibly the sequels, too) and Ninefox Gambit. Maybe also Fingersmith and The Bone Clocks, depending on when. I;m not suggesting anything at the moment because my schedule is pretty tight for the next couple of months, but I will think about it later.

Any of you guys interested in reading Solar cycle by Gene Wolfe.

I want to try Solar cycle eventually, but not this year.

Looks like we should definitely do Ninefox Gambit. Maybe mid November? Say November 15th?

[Lindsay]

Of course I'll contribute to that discussion. I thought it was great. I think the next one is due in 2017 too.

[Jaime]

Wasn't that about the time for the third book in His Dark Materials? I might be able to do both because of how different they are, but just wanted to point it out just in case.

[Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town]

Oh yeah. Oops. I mixed up the start date (11/14) with the end date (11/27).

Personally I can do probably both because I'm doing Dark Materials in audio and would likely do Ninefox in text. We can pick another date in November, or maybe do December?

Right now November has 2 books:

The Blood Mirror - 11/7
The Amber Spyglass - 11/14

While December has 1:

Babylon's Ashes 12/6

I'm doing all 3 of those, but all three will be audio, so I can fit in a text read in either month. I'm happy to defer to what others want to do though.

There was a lot of interest: Jaime, Suzanne, Sky2, Geoff, Rob, Teanka, Ctgt. I'm not sure how much overlap between those 3 other reads there will be.

[Suzanne]

I'll be reading all of the books you listed too - but Ninefox should work whenever :)

[Teanka]

I'll be reading Babylon's Ashes, and as for Ninefox, I can read it whenever.

[Simona]

Ninefox Gambit sounds interesting
I read and liked Fingersmith and the Dark Material trilogy.

[Jaime]

How about 11/21 for Ninefox?

[Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town]

That should work for me.

[Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town]

Anyone else have thoughts on 11/21 for Ninefox? Suzanne & Teanka both said whenever, so that makes several of us.

Anyone interested whose unable to do it then?

[Ctgt]

Should be okay for me

[Geoff]

Yeah. that's good for ninefox.

[Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town]

OK. I added it for the 21st then.

[Kat]

I'd like to read The Lady In The Van at some point before I watch the movie with Maggie Smith.

Anyone else?

[Ctgt]

Seems short so I can probably slip it in between some other reads.

[Bill]

Like ctgt said its short so I will try it.

[Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town]

I'm behind on my reading, so I'm out. Sounds like there is interest though.

You can either use the side reads section, or I can add a section for it. Let me know when you plan to read it and I can add it to the shelf.

[Bill]

I'm really behind on my reading too but am having a hard time staying intereted in anything so maybe a different book then I normally read will jump start me.

[Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town]

I'm distracted. First by PAX, now by WoW.

[Kat]

I just started on Golden Compass, but anytime after that would be good for me.

[Christina]

I'll join in on The Rise of Io, Ninefox Gambit, and A Closed and Common Orbit. I might also do The Blood Mirror, but I haven't started that series yet so I don't know if I'll finish the first three books in time.

[Peter]

Just saw that Blood Mirror is on the schedule? Definitely in for that one. (:

[Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town]

So I was considering listening to Terms of Enlistment sometime next week after I finish The Golden Compass.

For those of you who said you were interested in that book, would that work for you, or is that too soon?

I can find something else to listen to, but I have the first four books of that series in audio now, so I'd like to listen to the first one sooner rather than later..

[Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town]

Also, did you guys decide on a date for The Lady In The Van?

[Teanka]

Umm, for me that's too soon because I have other books planned for this month. I'd prefer i.e. the 1st of October, but I can also read a bit later than you, so no problem.

[Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town]

We can shoot for sometime in October, early October (like the 1st) would probably be better for me since late October I'll be doing the second Dark Materials book in audio.

[Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town]

[Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town]

So I'm probably going to start Terms of Enlistment next week, I found a few shorter books to listen to in the meantime, but I'll likely be done with them by early next week.

Is October 1st a good day for you guys? Ctgt? Teanka? I guess since Suzanne already read it, the date shouldnt matter to her too much.

[Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town]

Then again, we already have 2 books scheduled for October 1st. Maybe it's best to wait until later in October or early November.

[Ctgt]

Anytime in October will work for me. I have a reread of It with my horror group in October but I'll be reading others things while I tackle that one.

[Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town]

OK, so I think I'm going to go ahead with the group read later this week then. Hopefully that's OK. I'm going to do a short non-fiction book and maybe start this on Wednesday the 28th.

Hopefully that'll work for you guys. I may not make the discussion thread until the weekend though.

[Teanka]

Seems OK :).

[Lindsay]

Do we have a plan for Lines of Departure?

I had a need to listen to an audiobook (lots of recent driving), so I've started it. I tend to take ages with them though, so there's no hurry if others aren't ready.

[Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town]

I'm doing that on audio too, but I'm not sure when. I have two other books on my radar. I have a trip coming up soon which will give me extra time. So I should be flexible.

[Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town]

I just looked at my upcoming schedule and the length of the audio.

Starting it later this week (Thursday/Friday) would work for me. Otherwise I won't be able to get to it until sometime in November, and then I'll have to schedule around another book.
