I'm on the waiting list for it from my library and I should be getting it really soon, but I can't say for sure when. I do know I'm the next person to get it, and it shouldn't be more than a week or so.

I'm ready anytime. Should I request a Mod to start a thread for us? I think since it's informal we can use any date and then just jump into the discussion whenever we're ready. Do either of you have a preferred date? So far, we have 3 - Madge, Ashley Marie, and me.

Could we change the Dead Witch Walking Dead Witch Walking (The Hollows, #1) by Kim Harrison BR thread into a series read? We're starting the 2nd book in February and plan to go through the whole series.

Thanks so much and I apologize in advance if anyone has already made the request. : )

I don't think we have a thread for that. Do you know who/when you are reading with? We can set one up


message 1987: by Jennie (new)

And a thread for The Language of Flowers starting 18 Feb (is that ok Karen?)

Everyone is welcome to join us for The Hollows Series Read. A few are still reading Dead Witch Walking and a few are several books ahead, so drop on by no matter where you are in the series! I think most of us are starting the 2nd book in February. Hope to see you there!

Hannah (dontakemetochurch) I am currently half way through A Clash of Kings by George R. R. Martin, if someone is around the same mark and wants to talk about it that would be great.

Becky ♡The Bookworm♡ (mckennamuse) | 4205 comments Good Morning Mods!

Can we have a thread set up for Kisscut (Grant County, #2) by Karin Slaughter by Karin Slaughter?
Start date: February 8
Participants: Emma, Leslie, Myself and anyone else brave enough to join!

Just FYI - These are pretty intense for detective/murder mysteries and are also shelved as "Horror." The first book was extremely well written and engaging, but the violence is very graphic. Just FYI.

I know. I got to 4th in series, but I don't think they are really more gruesome than others of same type (think Cornwell, Gerritsen, Reichs,...).
