Reading Envy Readers discussion

Hi all!

An optional but fun ending to a Reading Envy Readalong is the online discussion. I have selected a few days around the first week of October that work for me, and have included some dates and times that might also work for people on the west coast or in Europe. Maybe even in Australia. I know we can't catch everyone.

Please participate in the poll by September 25, at which point I will select a recording date.

I will run the discussion through Zoom. It allows for managing large groups if needed (hand raising and all that) but last time there were only three of us. You should have headphones (to prevent discussion from echoing back into the recording) and some kind of mic, even if that's an internal mic.

If you'd like to hear how this worked before, you can check out the first Readalong discussion with Jeff, Ellie, and me!

The time that seems to work best for the most people is Monday, October 9, at 8 pm EST. I will create a Zoom link for that discussion in the next few days.

Yay! Should be a good discussion.

Here is the link to our online discussion. I have disabled video not because I don't enjoy your smiling faces but because video can cause distortion on the sound because of the bandwidth it takes up.

This is for Monday, October 9, at 8 pm EST. Hope to see you all there!

You might try going in early in case you have to download an app.

Yep thanks. I did download zoom.
I think Lorraine is testing at the moment too, my phone just donged and scared the hell out of me.
Happy Halloween LOL.

Aw....I am sorry! Yikes! I did download the app as I intended on participating tonight and then the neighborhood baseball team won a big game-Go Cubs!- so I didn't make the live discussion and scared you for naught :/ At least for this read along, I read the book!

Well maybe next time! :)
