Mel (booksandsundry) (booksandsundry) | 137 comments In one of my other Book groups we host a monthly Google hangout meeting to talk about the book of the month with other Aussies.

I was wondering if there was anyone interested in doing the same from Sword and Laser?

Sorry to limit it to Australia, but with time difference it might be tough for others to come.

Rhapsody | 2 comments I answered in the other book group but I will put my hand up in this thread to say I am interested, although will only join in now and then depending on the book.

Jordan | 12 comments This sounds like a great idea.
I'm gonna post here so I get a reminder of when the next one is.

Hey Jordan, we decided to skip this month due to the fact that most of us participated in a hangout earlier this year for The Name of the Wind. If you'd like to post your Google+ profile page I'll add you to my circle and send you an invite when the next one is organised.

Jordan | 12 comments Hi Mel,
That's all right as I don't know if I'll have time to re-read it again anyway. Currently trying to get through so many books as is without re-reading that monster.

Mel (booksandsundry) (booksandsundry) | 137 comments I hear you on that Jordan! I've added you in. Hope you have a good month reading. :)


Mel (booksandsundry) (booksandsundry) | 137 comments Hi Everyone,

Interest seems to be low in the pick this month so I'm not scheduling a Hangout. If anyone would like to take over and schedule one they're more than welcome. :)


Mel (booksandsundry) (booksandsundry) | 137 comments I really want to read the book this month, but someone has gotten in and reserved the copy at my library. (Anyone go to the Wyndham libraries?)

Anywho, I really want to schedule for this month but I have to find a copy of AtU.

Gaines Post (gainespost) | 206 comments Not sure what a "hang out" is in the context of Goodreads, but I live in Australia, write stories, and am interested :-) 'Happy to help in any way I can.


Mel (booksandsundry) (booksandsundry) | 137 comments Hi Gaines,

I sometimes host a Google+ Hangout online for us to discuss the books. Since so few of us are in the same area it made sense to meet online.

If you'd like to join us then you can send me your G+ profile link and I'll add you to the circle. If you'd like to schedule your own (because I'm not very regular about it or any other reason) then please go ahead! :)


Mel (booksandsundry) (booksandsundry) | 137 comments Hi Everyone,

Time: 9PM AEST
