Nicola | 522 comments Oh whoops, i thought we were starting at the start of the month! I'd better stop reading then and return my book to the library!


Linda | 1425 comments Oh, I thought we were starting at the beginning of the month as well.


Amanda (tnbooklover) Oops me too!


Zulfiya (ztrotter) We can start as early as the next week if it is O'K with you ...

So shall I adjust it and shoot for the 7th/8th or the 15/16th?

I can't get it before that -- the library copy is reserved several people deep.


Xan  Shadowflutter (shadowflutter) 28th works best for me.


Linda | 1425 comments I'll plan on the 28th start date.


Amanda (tnbooklover) I'm on board for the 28th I just misunderstood the plan.

Biblio Curious (bibliocurious) | 164 comments I'll start early, but no spoilers! This one would be a 2 month read?


Zulfiya (ztrotter) Three-month read ... :-) We can speed up if we want to.

Here is the schedule

As a consensus for the ones who want to start earlier and for the ones who want to start later this month, I am going to offer the golden mean of January 16.

01/16 - Chapters 1-3
01/23 - Chapters 4-6, South Africa
01/30 - Chapters 7, 8
02/06 - Chapters 9-12
02/13 - Ghost Special, Chapters 13,14
02/20 - Chapters 15-18
02/27 - Chapters 19-23
03/06 - Chapter 23, The Balloonist
03/13 - Chapters 24-27
03/20- Chapters 28-32
03/27 - Chapters 33-35 American Detective
04/03 - Chapters 36-43

Cheers to good discussions and an immersive read!


message 13: by Everyman (new)

Everyman | 885 comments Just got the book from the library today (had to ask the library to nudge the person who had it overdue to return it; our library doesn't use fines so people tend to be casual about returning books, so it pays if somebody has a book you want that's overdue to get the library to nudge them, which they're happy to do and sometimes works) but don't know whether that person will put it on hold to get it back so I might only have it for three weeks. And it'sa BIG book, and I'm already several weeks behind in the discussion despite the original plan of starting on January 28th.

But I'll try to catch up.


message 14: by Nicola (new)

Nicola | 522 comments I haven't started it either which is bad because I now have a copy. I'll make sure to read at least the first 3 chapters tonight.


Zulfiya (ztrotter) Everyman and Nicola, post any time. I will try to respond. The book is very engaging, and I have hard time pacing myself.


message 16: by Tanya (new)

Tanya Booklovinghippo (booklovinghippo) | 33 comments Just started reading the book so I'm a bit behind. I'm hoping to be able to read quite a bit of it this weekend. I'll post as I go, but will most likely be behind everyone.


Zulfiya (ztrotter) Tanya, post at your convenience, I will try to respond.


Deana (ablotial) Just got the message that the book is (finally!) available from my library. I'll aim to pick it up tomorrow, but I likely won't be able to REALLY catch up until next weekend due to other reading commitments. I'll post in the existing threads as I go.


Zulfiya (ztrotter) Yay, welcome Deana.


MichelleCH (lalatina) | 41 comments My book is just in too. I am going to jump in and catch up.
