Read Scotland discussion

Here’s our first group read for the year, which we’ll read for January and February...

dEaDINBURGH was chosen on the theme of Sci-Fi / Dystopia.

dEaDINBURGH: Vantage by Mark Wilson

This is a general thread, to see who’s reading, where they’re up to in the book, first thoughts etc. If you write something here that might give something away, please use the spoiler HTML. However, I’ll create a Spoiler thread/topic for those who have finished, where you can chat freely about the whole book, plot twists, and all! :)

Enjoy reading all about Edinburgh but not, I suspect, as we usually know it... can't wait to hear your thoughts!

For those who have finished the book, or already know it, here’s the spoiler thread set up: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Also, when you’re finished, tell us your star rating of the book too!

Very thrilled about this book. I love Edinburgh and have been lucky enough to visit it several times, as well as Glasgow and did a couple of road trips through Scotland. Mary King's Close is not a stanger to me and I like the idea it could have been the source of evil. ;-) Even though I prefer real books I couldn't stay away from the kindle version with all four dEaDINBURGH books for a good price. I'll dive in.

I'm looking forward to this one. Sounds like a fun (!) read. Not sure when I'll get round to starting it, but I'll try soon :)

Ooh, good tip! Thanks Carmen :)

Glad you’re looking forward to it - it doesn’t strictly have to be read in January (what’s left of it!) and February - just whenever you get round to it, the discussion will be open :) Enjoy!

Really happy this got chosen. Been a while since I read the series so I'm looking forward to rereading it.

I was excited to find this on Amazon today for a bargain price. I'm partway through a different Scottish read just now but as soon as I'm done with that one I'll start on this one!

That’s good, I got my kindle one pretty cheap too :)

Started it a few days back and keep dipping in every now and again, intriguing concept...

Bit late to the party, but just bought the kindle edition tonight. Hopefully will get it started this week. As an Edinburgh native, born and bred (best city in the world bar none!) I'm really looking forward to this.

finally half way through this, wasn't too sure at the beginning but glad I stuck with it.

Well done Tracy :) I think there was activity over on the spoiler thread for when you’re finished...

(I decided to leave off the book after the first few chapters, the whole plague thing really freaks me out. I’m such a baby, I know! *hides face*)
