How about a M.M. Kaye group/buddy read?

[Carol She's So Novel꧁꧂ , She's a mod, yeah, yeah, yeah!]

For those that didn't know, this was originally a group for the books of M.M. Kaye called Beyond the Far Pavillions. The group had died so I had the idea of repurposing it & we changed the name to Retro Reads.

I have just acquired a kindle of Death in Kashmir. Tadiana (who was a moderator here) thought this was the best of the Death In... books.

This title has had a group read here - but back in 2017. Would anyone else be interested in a group or buddy read of this title? I was thinking April. Feb/March the other group I moderate has a Book Pool & I'm doing a course for the Museum that finishes in March, so I'm a bit busy until then.

If anyone else has a book that they would like to lead a read for that was first published between 1900 & 1980 you can suggest it here! :)

I am a big fan of M.M. Kaye and have a number of old hardback copies of her books including all the Death In... books. I would like to do a group/buddy read in April.

[Susan in NC]

My library has a copy, I’d be in.

[Carol She's So Novel꧁꧂ , She's a mod, yeah, yeah, yeah!]

Awesome, both of you!

I'll be thinking a start time of around the 5th of April.

Sounds good!

[Barb in Maryland]

I'll be there too. I last read this when it was a group read (2017). I'll be happy to revisit it.
(GR ate my previous comment, sigh...)

The more the merrier! :)

[Sharon]

I'm in. I haven't read any of the Death in series so this is a treat. My library doesn't have it but I just found a cheap copy. Yay!

[Jackie]

I can get it through my library so I think I want to participate. Is April when it's going to happen for sure or is that not decided yet?

I think there is an increased energy when many of those reading are all doing it the same time so I'd like to schedule it.

It looks very good!

[Carol She's So Novel꧁꧂ , She's a mod, yeah, yeah, yeah!]

Excellent the more the merrier.

Yes, starting date of the 5th of April. :)

& just a reminder that we are starting this read on the 5th - American time. :)

[Anne]

I misread the start date for reading this so I read it last week!!! Re read it. I’ll look forward to the discussion.

[Carol She's So Novel꧁꧂ , She's a mod, yeah, yeah, yeah!]

Cool - I'm looking forward to it - reading short stories atm to make sure I'm ready to start on time!

[Jackie]

I was thinking it was April 15th for some reason so I haven't started yet. I have a hardback from my library and the print is tiny!

ETA: what a "first world problem" lol

[Ellen]

I'll be starting it on April 5th.

[Julie]

I picked up a copy at library yesterday so I am ready to start- haven’t read any of her Murder In… books so am looking forward to this!

& the threads are up. I have done it as two threads - here is the link to the no spoilers one!

[Mir]

I just got the book. There was a wait list at the library!
