We can also start listing items we think are ripe for discussion.

You may need to download this. You can join in on audio if you have some kind of sound card/speaker, or by phone. Instructions at that link. I will be recording the audio and turning off video, but you may turn yours on at the beginning if you want to say hello!
I'll be arriving home around start time so I might be tuning in a few minutes late.

No worries, just glad you can join in.

A few things to know:
1. I will host the meetup in Zoom, which I have access to through work. It has superior audio quality to a conference call or to Adobe's similar product, and also a hand raise function I can turn on to cut down the chaos if there are a lot of us.
2. Zoom has video functionality but you do not have to have video to participate. I am likely to mute all video to make the audio even clearer. You should feel free to put a sticky note over your camera, to wear a mask, or to select to turn off video. No matter what I won't be posting a video online.
3. I will send out the link to the Zoom meeting once we have it scheduled.
4. You do not need to be finished with the book to participate, although you should be prepared to be spoiled if you aren't. Because of my own personal life schedule and the upcoming American holiday weekend (which is also my birthday weekend!), I couldn't delay it much past the reading schedule.
5. I will be editing the discussion down and posting it on the internet as a Reading Envy episode, so participation would assume permission to use your words!
I have basically listed June 18-22, 7 pm EST or 8 pm EST because that is what works best for me. It is possible that I could do a mid-day or morning work time to account for international or second-shift people, but my fear was that would count out the readers in the USA. But do let me know if you wanted to participate but these times are awful. If enough people say so, I'll look into more.
