Wishing you a speedy recovery!!

[Monika]

Speedy recovery Iain! I'm happy to be outside after two weeks at home.

Hope you make a swift recovery, Iain.

I've been sick too - hope you feel better soon. The internet things will happen as they can. R&R is the most important now.

[Nyssa]

I hope you're on the mend, Niki.

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

Ty <3

[Narilka]

Hope you both feel better soon.

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

I feel like I'm on the mend... moved from painful coughing to nose faucet Phase...

[Brian]

UGH. Being sick sucks!! Get well buddy.

[Choko]

Both of you, get better soon<3!!!

[Saar The Book owl]

Being sick sucks, but maybe there's more time to read, then ;) Get well soon!

[Saar The Book owl]

Anyone who wants to read with me? I'll have my copy around November 5th from the library.

Definitely varies by illness for me... some, I just want to do nothing or sleep to try and help it pass... others, I've got nothing better to do than listen to more books...

I'm definitely on the mend, tho... best night of sleep I've had all week... coughing has largely passed... nose is a black hole, cleaning out my system... neosporin definitely helped with the tender nose from rough work tissues yesterday (I've been doing partial days and leaving early)... called in today to hopefully get through the nonstop nose blowing phase and be almost normal tomorrow...

When were we starting the In Death Iron Man Challenge, Choko?

November 1st, later? Checking since I'd probably need to get that thread sorted and setup soon...

[Saar The Book owl]

Yes, I understand that. When I had covid, I wasn't in the mood for reading, same with the flu. Only a couple of days to get rid of the last tracks of your cold and then you will be back to normal.

[Choko]

How about the 10th of November? For the In Death series...

[Shaitarn]

Choko wrote: "How about the 10th of November? For the In Death series..."

Choko would it be okay if we pushed it on a couple of days and made it sometime between the 12th - 14th November? Even if we're reading one a week the end or the beginning of the week would make a more logical starting point (for me at least).

[Choko]

Totally cool with that! I was just throwing a date out there. The 14th then?

[Brian]

That date works for me too.

[Choko]

Yay, Brian!!!

If everyone's okay with it, the 14th would be great.

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

I'll put it together soon then, thanks for the crowdsourcing :D

[Shaitarn]

Thanks Iain! :)

[Nirkatze]

Best of health to everyone!

I think I'll just read Mexican Gothic in Vagabond, since no one seems actively interested. :)

@Saar--Ranger of Marzana looks interesting, but I am afraid I am way overbooked right now. >.<

@Choko re: In-Death--are you making a series thread or book club thread for this?

Speaking of Book Club Threads--I went ahead and made a thread for the Goodreads Choice Awards, when they get together. Usually they get started second week in November or so. Looking forward to reading with folks! Thread [here] ... I already started posting.

[Gaea]

I'm definitely interested in the thread for reading the Goodreads Choice Awards. Don't know if I'll be able to keep up but I'll be trying to read as much of them as possible~

[Saar The Book owl]

@Nirkatze: no problem. I understand.

[Choko]

Nirkatze, a series thread, since it is a never ending series, or at least feels like it:))) It is a fun series though, and I hope you could join us:)))

[Nirkatze]

XD I'm going to try! I have the first 3 on audio. After that, we'll see.

@Saar--will you leave your thoughts on one of the book club threads for us just in case?

[Peggy]

hi, I'm looking for some scary book recommendations, I've already tried a few but none of them actually scares me, so it's a little bit frustrating searching like this,
help please...

[Narilka]

@Peggy, we have a book recommendations thread. You should post there too: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

I'm not much for scary so I don't have any useful recommendations :)

Sure, no problem, I'm happy to do that. Still waiting on my copy, but it shouldn't take long anymore.

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

I made the Iron Man In Death Buddy Read Challenge thread (in book club folder, since I see some series in there like Realm of the Elderlings)...

https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

And I made a BR Request in the BR Request Form, which I then fulfilled myself, so it'll appear on the Upcoming Buddy Reads list sheet, for the next 30-40 days :D

[Beena]

Peeps, who were BR-ing acts of Caine: Ok, I've calmed down a bit and am ready to give the last book a try lol. Would everyone be up for it in a week or so's time? We can easily get a thread in time, now that Yanique's thread master.

[Laura Tenfingers]

I'm in for Caine, Beena, any time, any place!

[Tonari no Emily]

Yes me too Beena! I'll make whatever time's okay for you work :)

[Nirkatze]

So, folks're planning on reading Children of Memory come January 30 in [this] thread, and I've always wanted to read some Adrian Tchaikovsky but haven't made it around to them.

Anyone interested in trying to read the first two books to catch up in time for that BR?
Children of Time
Children of Ruin

@Choko, Iain, Brian--if there're any takers, do you mind if we use your book 3 thread, or do you want us to make our own?

[Beena]

@Laura & Emily: Ah, great guys! Choko said she's down too. I also messaged Mayim, but I haven't seen her online for a while, I'm sure she'll catch up.

I'll request a thread for the 14th Nov :)

I don't mind turning it into a series thread for people catching up... this is a great series that seemed like a standalone at the start...

[Monika]

Never read Tchaikovsky, so... I'll join when find them books :)

[Gaea]

I've wanted to read Children of Time for a while so I'll join too~

[Choko]

Awesome! Let's make it into a series thread:)

[Nirkatze]

Shiny! Thank y'all!

[Camilla]

I'm down to read Children of Time. It's been on my tbr for a while.

[Narilka]

For those of us reading the Dresden Files, when did we want to tackle Turn Coat?

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

I was open to starting the next one soon... I asked a few weeks ago, when one person hadn't started the September book yet, I think?...

We're getting really close to the BIG ONE (#12)... just need to read #11 first...

[RachelG.]

I am available to start at any time.

[Narilka]

Timelord Iain wrote: "I was open to starting the next one soon... I asked a few weeks ago, when one person hadn't started the September book yet, I think?..."

hehe that was me :) The only other BR I have is The Lost Metal, which will take priority. Since I'm just reading a couple short stories right now, my schedule is flexible.

[Choko]

Any time for me, as you know, Iain:)

[Nirkatze]

Children of Time people--I just asked this in the thread, but any date preferences? I was thinking of starting near the end of December...

[Laura Tenfingers]

I can do anytime for Children of Time. December works
