Yay, I'll gladly help translating if you have difficulties :)
I must warn you though, it's probably a difficult book to read (in terms of vocabulary). I kind of wish I had chosen a shorter French book...
Well, maybe I'll re-read some of my favorite stories later this year if there are some people interested in practicing their French :)

I'm in! Anytime you want

[Angus]

@Virginie Ahh sweet, definitely let me know if you get around to the other french books :)

[Scott , Karsa Orlong]

Anybody have interest in Kraken by China Miéville starting in the next week? I'm doing it for the topic a-z challenge and figured I'd ask.

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

This kind of sounds like a weird pagan parallel (I'm just throwing that word around today) to Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch... I'll try and make time...

I've read it before - it's completely bonkers and I loved it. But don't let it colour your perception of Mieville as a whole, if you haven't read much else by him - it's great fun, but a bit all over the place at times.

[Silvana]

I'd love to read Kraken too (this year is my Mieville year) but my schedule is so full till August, guess I will just lurk and watch :(

Sweet.

[Shaitarn]

Would anyone be interested in reading Ursula Le Guin's novels? I was thinking of the Earthsea novels, but I'd be willing to read her sci-fi books.

[C.P.]

I recently read the first Earthsea novel and would be up for trying the rest. I probably can't start until March though.

[Laura]

@Shaitarn - I read the first 4 books very long time back and didn't continue with the series. I'd be up for a reread of the first 4 and a read of the rest in the series.

[Mayim]

I think I read her when I was too young. I wasn't ready for Le Guin and I wasn't charmed.

[Laura]

same here Mayim. that's why I'd be up for a reread now. I wonder if I'll like it more at this age. :)

[Pat the Book Goblin]

Would anyone want to read:
Red Rising
Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell
Dune?
I had to abandon Wizard's First Rule. I couldn't get past the poor writing.

[Ahdam]

I'd also be up to reading her earthsea books I had the quartet in my shelf for a while and I feel like I need to know more about this authors works since she appears to be an inspiration

Also Patrick if he up to read red rising but not until later in the year unfortunately

I'd love to read Dune with you! I've been wanting to read that one for ages. When are you thinking of reading it?

[Pat the Book Goblin]

I’m finishing up The Way of Kings now. Would you want to start Dune Feb 1st?

[Yanique, Thread Master]

I am reading all three this year. What kind of dates were you thinking?

I've read all 3 books already. They're great reads. I'm debating if I should read them all again with you.

[Pat the Book Goblin]

You’re def welcome to J.J.! :)

There is a book read on Dune in the Space Opera BOTM Buddy Read if you want to join that as well. I'm reading Dune starting in February.

[Sha]

I'm ion for Dune, so long as it's not starting this month or early Feb.

[Sha]

also, i thought Red Rising and Jonathan Strange were already in the works? But they are also on my to-do list so I'm okay for them too.

[Shaitarn]

@ C. P., Laura & Mayim. As we all have plenty of buddy reads scheduled how would you all feel about starting this towards the end of May? I was looking at around 22nd. As usual we could do 1 book a month. Would that work for everyone?

Shaitarn and Ahdam I would love to read any of her books with you if you have room for another to join.
Any date is fine just let me know via message please!

Yeah, February 1st would be perfect for me.

[C.P.]

End of May works for me with the Earthsea books.

There's a thread set up for Jan 28th (I think) for Charlie and Vaelin if you can make it then, Beste.

No worries Anni. I might try and join in this month if I can, but really not sure I will! :)

[Delitealex]

I'd like to join in for the earthsea books too. I've read book 1 already

[Delitealex]

[Yanique, Thread Master]

Me! I just ordered The Left Hand this weekend coincidentally, so I’m in.

hahah there's more than one lol so be prepared:) but omg i'm so excited for you, trust me you're in for a rollercoaster ride, hopefully i'll be able to join you for a re-read <3

[Pat the Book Goblin]

I looked on the master reading list and I didnt see Red Rising or Dr. Strange. I might have overlooked it.

[Delitealex]

@Yanique apr is good for me. what date is good for you?

[Yanique, Thread Master]

@Delitealex that works for me too, since I’m not trying to book too many BRs at once.

[Delitealex]

Anyone interested in reading Red Mars or New York 2140 may or later

[Laura]

@Shaitarn - I'm fine with the Earthsea dates.

[Beste]

Sha wrote: "I'm ion for Dune, so long as it's not starting this month or early Feb."

Can you tell me too when you guys set up Dune? (Mid Feb or later would be great for me)

[Pat the Book Goblin]

I think we have Dune down for Feb 1. But I’m open to pushing it back a bit if other ppl don’t mind.

[idiffer]

If you will do Dune 2, I'll join in. Since I already read the first one.

[Beste]

Patrick wrote: "I think we have Dune down for Feb 1. But I’m open to pushing it back a bit if other ppl don’t mind."

I can join later if Feb 1is okay for everyone. I didn't see it was set sorry.

[Sophie]

I can wait till later in February too for Dune if other people want to join.

[Silvana]

@Delitealex I want to read New York 2140 too but after July.
