Lincoln in the Bardo.... I could be persuaded to that. You mean in May, right? Cos I was thinking of reading for SRC, which ends 31May.
Sooner would be better for me?

25th / 26th Jun start is good for me!

Mods - as Dark Matter was a BOM in 2016, do we reuse the BOM thread or can we have a BR specific one? If the former, should we ask you to pull it into current-ness in June or what? Guidance greatly appreciated! (unless I lose points! ;-P )

Jammin Jenny (jamminjenny) | 4185 comments Anyone interested in buddy reading Stephen King's upcoming book release?

The Outsider by Stephen King
The Outsider by Stephen King
Expected out 5/22

From #1 New York Times bestseller Stephen King, whose brand has never been stronger, comes one of his most propulsive and unsettling stories ever.

An eleven-year-old boy is found in a town park, hideously assaulted and murdered. The fingerprints (and later DNA) are unmistakably those of the town’s most popular baseball coach, Terry Maitland, a man of impeccable reputation, with a wife and two daughters. Detective Ralph Anderson, whose son Maitland coached, orders an immediate and public arrest. Maitland is taken to jail, his claim to innocence scorned. Maitland has a foolproof alibi, with footage to prove that he was in another city when the crime was committed. But that doesn't save him either.

King constructs a propulsive plot, and a race against time to uncover the identity of a terrifying and diabolical killer who has left victims—and “perpetrators”—across the country, and who is on his way to his next horrific act.

King’s psychological suspense is at its most riveting in this extraordinarily dramatic and eerie story. He is devastatingly vivid on the experience of being falsely blamed—the effect on the accused, the spouse, the children; the suspicion of friends, even the most loyal; the impossibility of ever being innocent again (if you are lucky enough to live). He is also masterful at showing us that supernatural monsters are startlingly like human beings who do monstrous things.

I would love to, but is it okay to start on Saturday I think it's the 16th? That part of the week is very busy at my work so I would prefer to wait for the weekend.
