Got it today!


Just let me know when you want to start it. How does this weekend sound?
It is ok by me. :)
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.
Great! Maybe we can start it after that book. :)

I have read the first one only. I won't read it again, but I do not mind reading the rest.
Awesome!
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?
Cool! :)

Looks like my library does have it and the first two are reserved for me, ready to be picked up tomorrow. So, I'll be ready to read the first one whenever you're ready, Gravy. :) gali, you said you won't re-read the first one, but join in on the rest, right?

Of course! Start the first one and I will read the others with you two. The books are short. :)

You can pretty much dictate the time. I've got physical copies of the three books already out. :)

I'll also go ahead and open a thread for Norma (unless one of you have beaten me to it.
I'm all ready to start it! :mrgreen:

I am planning to start a book called 'French Exit', by Patrick deWitt. If anyone else would be interested in reading along with me, please let me know. I won't be starting for 1 week and I could wait a little longer if someone else wants to join me.

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
