Wanted: Reading Buddies
Atty. Monique and I will be reading The Land of Green Plums by Herta Muller on Monday, May 14. If you wish to join us, please let me know. :)
Sayang, I have The Appointment that Emir is now reading. Emir, that few days from now will be our birthday boy! :)
Jzhun: Magse-seryoso na ako ulit sa "Adventures" starting this weekend. Then hopefully, tuluy-tuloy na. Ang longest staying ko ngayon sa currently-reading folder ko ay ang whole canon ng Sherlock Holmes. Saan ka na ba? Habulin kita basta maka-abante ako this weekend. :)
Hello friends! Lipat discussion dito kasi off-topic na sa isang thread! :DCalling reading buddies for the following books:
1. A Game of Thrones (w/ LS - May 28 ang request nya)
2. Vanity Fair (w/ Angus...and KD? KD you want na? :D Kahit sometime in June na)
3. Feed and Deadline by Mira Grant - just a thought, in case anyone wants to read this since the third book is coming out soon :) I will still reread it, pero baka may gustong sumabay. :)
Of course, not all at the same time, especially for Vanity Fair. Medyo challenge lang to sa haba kasi. :D
Tina, can we do it on August? You have A Game of Thrones pa naman. :D June - July are toxic months for me.

Tina, di ako pede ng June. The whole month kami sa "Executioner's Song." Tsaka, mas gusto kong unahin ang "Madame Bovary." Thanks. :)
Angus: Ay oo masyado akong pretentious, may Fellowship pa pala ng June. Sabog lang utak ko. Haha.Sige sige August na lang? KD, okay sayo? :)
Pag August, may Noli. Balak kong magbasa lang ng Tagalog-Tagalog-Tagalog buong buwan. Except sa Noli na Penguin.September? Call na. Nabasa ko na lahat ng nominated books. At lahat madaling ire-read. :)
Okaaay, September na iyan ha! Hindi pa naman busy sa NaNo nun noh? Sasali na ako this year, itaga mo sa isang basong tubig iyan!
Wala, basta magsulat ng original novel in 50k words within one month. Ay assuming ako, haha. Tina can best answer such questions. :D

YAY! *maka-yay naman*
All out support, of course!
Miss Louize: You're joining too? Yay!Tina: Meron bang mga story conferences or something to discuss novel ideas?
Blue & Charles: yes, join us! :D Isa: I know you will. :D
Angus and KD: November pa NaNo, pwede pa! Haha. Okay lang kahit September (ano ba ulit September theme natin?) kung August is too heavy. And yep, for NaNo, basta a 50k novel in 30 days. Kelangan lang umabot ka 50k, di kelangan matapos yung buong manuscript for the whole month. :)
We're still planning the activities for this year, but for sure we'll have a Plot Party for Kick-Off, so pwedeng maggather and discuss ng novel ideas at that time. :)

Uhmm, cheering squad n'yo na lang ako ni KD, pwede?
Kwesi: sure :) I have thought of a reading schedule!
Feed by Mira Grant - May 14-18 (5-6 chapters a day)
Deadline - May 20-28 - (3 chapters a day -- this is shorter, but wordier than Feed IMHO. But we can move faster with this.)
I put a break in between, especially since we have Jellicoe Road F2F in between, plus you guys might want to read in between the two books. :)
Since we're not sure if Blackout will be out on the week of release, so we can put the thread on hold until the copies arrive.
But if you guys want to move it later/earlier, let me know. :D I'd prefer sooner, though. :)
Kwesi: sureness. I will create thread before I fly off this weekend. :)Beejay: Okay! :) This should be fun.
Kwesi: Haha malakas ka sakin, sige. :P (Saka binigyan mo ko ng Isle of Blood eh, so ako naman babawi sayo :D)
Yes, I am. I am done with "Tenant" and I will finish "Purple" this weekend. Then "Mere Christianity" is short-short.
Gawa ka na ng thread? Geared up na ako. May old copy ako. Then nakita ko yong bago na edited and foreworded by my favorite female author: Lydia Davis, so buy ako.
Ito yong dating kopya ko.
Yong bago di ko mahanap. Parang blue green ang cover.
