Is there a suggested reading schedule for Klara and the Sun?

Pamela wrote: "Is there a suggested reading schedule for Klara and the Sun?"

No, we will open a discussion thread usually the day before the first of the month, but there is no set schedule. Everyone just reads it during the month and posts their thoughts as they go. We use spoiler tags so no one reads anything they don't want to before they are ready. The threads remain open forever, just moved to a different folder. So if someone ends up reading a book a lot later than the group, they can still add their comments if they'd like to.

I've read A Desolation Called Peace, A Psalm for the Wild-Built, Fugitive Telemetry, and The Echo Wife.

I'm interested in Machinehood and Termination Shock

What did you think of The Echo Wife? It's on my maybe read shelf. It sounds interesting, but it hasn't gotten the best reviews.

I also think Constance sounds interesting and maybe Girl One.

I don't really recommend it. I did give it 3 stars. Some of it I liked, but it's more horror than science fiction to me.

Thanks, Deborah. I think I'm going to take it off my TBR. That seems to be a common feeling.

You are welcome. It's just a little dark for me right now and not quite the story I wanted it to be.

Kristie, please sign me up for Klara and the Sun in March.

I can understand that, Deborah. I'm reading a book like that now. It's not what I was expecting or hoping it to be.

Glad you'll be joining us, Pamela. No need to sign up; just jump in the conversation when the thread opens.

I don't read a lot from this genre, but I am going to give Rabbits a try.
