Join readers in 9 countries as we begin the reading of The Dark is Rising Sequence! December 7 is coming fast!Now on Google+ and we have a Blog!
I do love this series...
We would love to have you join us! If you know others who like the series (or want to discover a new one) please let them know.
This was a favorite of mine, growing up. Will there also be discussion?
We will try to drum some up some discussions, you bet! Most of the discussions are at our Facebook group, but I can start a Goodreads group and see who of our currents followers are on here.
To commemorate Susan Cooper’s Lifetime Achievement Award at World Fantasy Convention 2013 and the 40th anniversary of her classic fantasy book, The Dark is Rising, I am proposing a (hopefully) Worldwide Readathon of The Dark is Rising Sequence starting on December 7th, 2013 (in honor of the seventh son of a seventh son). There is no timeline, finish deadline or day-by-day guide, just the awesome knowledge that you are enjoying these books, maybe for the first time, with fans around the world at the same time! In starting on December 7th, my hope is that most people will be able to finish Over Sea, Under Stone, before Midwinter’s Eve (December 20th?), the day before Will Stanton’s birthday to add to the reading experience of The Dark is Rising.
Due to time constraints, the only way I have to keep track of who’s joining the Readathon is if readers fill out a quick Google form. I’m not asking for any info you don’t want to give, just a first name and location for stats tracking. I won’t publish any individual’s information that is collected in any way.
Just as a disclaimer, I am not affiliated with Susan Cooper or any of her past or present publishers or agents. I am just a fan of her books.
