I finished Norma and can start one of the books tomorrow. Which book do you want to start reading?
Nice! I'm still working on Norma, but I can start another book. I'd be good with either The Apocalypse of Elena Mendoza or Down Among the Sticks and Bones. Does either one of you have a preference?
I am fine with either, but I am not sure Gravy wants to read The Apocalypse of Elena Mendoza.

After that, maybe we can start the second book of The Diviners.
Hm...I thought she did :eusa-think:

Yes, afterwards we can start the second book in The Diviners series. I'm curious to see what's going to happen next!

Starting with Down Among the Sticks and Bones sounds good to me!

Then, we can definitely read the second of The Diviners, gali!

Also, yes, reading White Stag in January works for me. :)

@Gravy and @gali

Can I join your read-a-long of Small Spaces by Katherine Arden whenever you start it? I didn't realize it wasn't part of a series.

I might have to wait on starting Small Spaces. I requested it from my library, but I didn't realize that there are several people ahead of me, so I probably won't get it for a while.

Maybe we can read Sugar Sky and/or Elena Mendoza first. Then, I can let you know when I get Small Spaces so we can start that one I have a copy?

gali, I'm good to start Lair of Dreams during any of the books or after any of them. :D
