About 8 to 10 most months Peggy but I have to fit in a few group BOM, some live book club reads and some that are already on my shelf demanding attention - and some of them are chunky ;-)If I concentrated i would do it in 2 months easy but ....the lure of the book lol

Paul, we'll be reading The Collapsing Empire as a buddy read starting around Nov 18th. You're welcome to join us.
Could be a plan. I have it sitting on my shelf and i Love Scalzi
I really enjoy his books as well. I'm looking forward to the buddy read.
Paul wrote: "Could be a plan. I have it sitting on my shelf and i Love Scalzi"Scalzi is very popular in this group I've noticed. I just missed out on Old Man's War. Determined to read it next year tho!
I still have a couple of books in the Old Man's War to go. It was a buddy read here that got me into that series... and Scalzi, for that matter.
I've read the whole set as well as Redshirts. I plan to read Locked In soon as well. I read a novella of his Dispatcher about two months back. Really good book amd quite different to his other stuff
Redshirts is the only one I have read and I enjoyed it. In places it was mind-bending and in others LOL funny. I hope this one is as good.
I would consiser Old Mans War a lot better than Redshirts so hoping this is more like it

Really good book amd quite different to his other stuff"I thought Lock In was very good. I have not read the second yet. I have read almost all of his books but the No Human Division ones. I think Zoe's Tale is next up in The Old Man's War series. I am really ready to get into The Collapsing Empire on the 18th - I actually listened to the first chapter, but will put off the rest until the buddy read.
