[Maggie, space cruisin' for a bruisin']

yup-January's theme is Maggie's choice so I will do that, lol! :)

[Megan]

Sounds good. I really like Elizabeth Bear. :)

[Maggie, space cruisin' for a bruisin']

I do too! I have a whole pile of her books to read....

[Maggie, space cruisin' for a bruisin']

Mark-do you want The Door Into Summer? I want to read it but I am way behind here....

[mark, personal space invader]

sure, I can set up the thread and keep an eye on it. although I don't actually plan on reading this one.

[Maggie, space cruisin' for a bruisin']

thanks:)

[Maggie, space cruisin' for a bruisin']

:)

[Megan]

Where are we for March? Looking at the libraries available to me, I could do the Clarke, but no one seems to have the Moon book. Or take a month off - whatever people feel like!

[mark, personal space invader]

I wouldn't mind doing the Moon, or taking the month off. whatever works.

[Maggie, space cruisin' for a bruisin']

Megan,its yourr turn for a month off!
So mark, if you do Remnant, i will do city.

[mark, personal space invader]

sounds good!

[mark, personal space invader]

ok can someone remind me what Remnant Population falls under? Women Authors or something else? for some reason I can't find it in the polls so i don't know where to put the book discussion thread.

[Mordechai]

Is this topic thread only for people whose names begin with the letter M? (Maggie, Megan, Mark, now Mordechai, and, of course, Moderator.)

[Maggie, space cruisin' for a bruisin']

its part of the womens author series...

[mark, personal space invader]

thanks Maggie!

[mark, personal space invader]

yes, Mordechai, this is the Moderator thread. *cough*

but I am going to give you a pass because you have one of my favorite names ever.

Oh, so I'm not supposed to be posting here? Sorry.

Thanks for your nice words about our name.

What do people want to do for April? As a change, I could do either - I own a copy of The Atrocity Archives, and I read When Gravity Fails a few years ago, so I know my library has it. Preferences?

[mark, personal space invader]

I can do either as well, I own both and want to read both. if I had to choose, I'd love Atrocity Archives.

[Maggie, space cruisin' for a bruisin']

I plan to do both too, so it doesn't matter, I guess! Mark if you do Atrocity, and MEgan do Gravity and I can just worry about the nominations!

[mark, personal space invader]

perfect!

[Megan]

Sounds good!

[mark, personal space invader]

I nominate myself to do next month's At the Mountains of Madness! I love that one and am eager to read it (for a third time).

[Megan]

I'm willing to push on with the rest of the Effinger trilogy. :)

[Maggie, space cruisin' for a bruisin']

if anyone wants a month off, I plan to read both....

[Megan]

Up to you! I'll be reading the Effinger regardless, but if you want to moderate it, that's fine by me. :)

[Maggie, space cruisin' for a bruisin']

nah, if you started the series, go ahead...I just feel guilty taking the month off!

[Megan]

No worries! Breathe easy for a month. :)

[Megan]

So, my library system, which frequently drives me crazy, has had the first two Effinger books, but not the third part of the trilogy. Aargh1

I can either moderate the Exile Kiss while trying (but possibly failing) to find a copy, or you can take it, Maggie. Up to you.

*mutters to herself about the cruelty of getting the first two of a trilogy and not the third*

[Maggie, space cruisin' for a bruisin']

I can do that-no problem :)
anyone on board for Pandora???

[Megan]

I have a copy of that one, so I can do it if you don't want to, mark!

[Megan]

What folder should the Pandora's Star thread go? Should I create a new one for member picks?

[Maggie, space cruisin' for a bruisin']

That's probably a good idea!

[Maggie, space cruisin' for a bruisin']

any preference on next months reads??? I have read both so I can do either. Mark you want player?, megan you want a month off?

[Megan]

I would not mind a month off, but I can get either if you need me to do one.

[Maggie, space cruisin' for a bruisin']

If Mark does Player of Games, I will do Windup Girl :D two of my favorite books!

[Megan]

For once, both books for next month are in my library. (Someone has Use of Weapons out, but hopefully not for long.) So I could take either.

[Maggie, space cruisin' for a bruisin']

You want to do the Heinlein then?????

Mark-you can do Use of Weapons,, or I can and you can have a month off-up to you!

[Megan]

Sounds good from my side!

[Megan]

So, September! My library doesn't have Excession, but it does have the Mieville. Want me to take that one?

[Maggie, space cruisin' for a bruisin']

If you take Mieville and Mark takes Excession, I get a break!

[Megan]

Sounds good!

[Megan]

I have access to both books this month, so I could do either! (Or take a month off, whatever works.)

[Maggie, space cruisin' for a bruisin']

Megan-I am so behind---CAN you do the Rachel Bach book?????

[Megan]

Sure!

[Megan]

Just started a new job, so I've been not tracking much for the last week. Is it Pattern Recognition as the second book in November? Maggie, do you want me to take it, or do you want to? (I can also get the Banks, but I've so behind on that series.)

[Maggie, space cruisin' for a bruisin']

I have pattern recognition, so i cando it.

[Maggie, space cruisin' for a bruisin']

anybody want to claim for January? I dont mind either, but I am behind on my reading again!

[Megan]

I'd be interested in the Tim Powers. And my library has it, thankfully.

[Maggie, space cruisin' for a bruisin']

perfect Megan, thanks!
