In about a month or 2 I plan to read 'The Dirty parts of the Bible', by Sam Torode. In case wants to join me for that one, please let me know. Thanks

I added them to looking for interest.

If no one responds, let me know when to take them off the list. :tiphat:

@gali and @Gravy

I just finished Every Heart a Doorway by Seanan McGuire, so I'm ready for book two! Did we want to finish Norma first before beginning the second book or read them simultaneously?

I can read it along with other things, but I'm also fine with waiting.


Also, Gali, I have Small Spaces, whenever you want to start it. There's no hurry, though. :tiphat:

I prefer to finish Norma first if you don't mind.

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.

If it's okay with you guys, I'd prefer to do Down Among the Sticks and Bones. I haven't finished Norma quite yet.


I can probably do Small Spaces whenever you want. It's pretty short, so it shouldn't tempt my slump to try to kill me. :lol:



Also, hsimone, do you want to do White Stag at some point?
I probably won't get to it for a bit (maybe even mid-late Nov/early Dec) but wondered if you were still interested. :tiphat:

Great, I will start with Down Among the Sticks and Bones. We can do Small Spaces afterward.

I also want to read White Stag, but I can read it only after it comes out.
