Nice, I'm excited! I'll keep my eyes peeled for a new topic to begin reading and discussing. :)
I borrowed the second one, as well. :tiphat:
Great! I will let you know when I finish my current book, and we can start reading it at the same time. I am almost more than halfway through my current book. :)
Sounds perfect to me! :)
Ok, I finished my book. We can start reading The Diviners now. I opened a new topic. :)

BTW, there are three books in the series and they are all out.

Yay! I'm super excited. :D

Oh, nice! I'll have to look into the third one, as well.

It's on its way! I'll let you know when I have it in hand. :tiphat:

I'd love to hear your thoughts on it. I've yet to read it. :)

If/when you do. :tiphat:

I've yet to make up my mind about it (which is odd and I can only blame the way it was published for my indecisiveness).

It's just a weird combination of things that has kept me from trying it. I was planning on reading it when I first heard about it, but it was ebook only for a long time. Then when it was available in paperback, I just never got around to getting it. It's also (if I understand correctly) the most mystery/police procedural of her works, and that interests me much less than the rest of her writing.

I will still probably give it a go some point. :lol:

Also, I was thinking of doing a reread of Seanan McGuire's Wayward Children series prior to the new book in January...

Would anyone like to join me?

I have read the first one only. I won't read it again, but I do not mind reading the rest.

Nice, this weekend works for me, too. :)

The Apocalypse of Elena Mendoza by Shaun David Hutchinson also just became available to me, but we can wait until we're done with Norma if you'd like.

I haven't read any of them, and I wouldn't mind joining, but I don't have the books readily available to me. I might stop by the library this weekend to see what's available. When were you thinking of starting?
