A lot happening on the 1st!

Hahah some of us, looking at myself have double booked on that date.

We also have The Whitefire Crossing on April 20th.

I'm double booked to start the month, AND running behind on other stuff because school is starting to bury me. Ugh.

Thanks Nimrod. I'm away from a computer today so will make sure I add tomorrow.

Great! We're also gonna have a Q&A session with Courtney Schafer. I'll create a dedicated thread about a week before we start reading The Whitefire Crossing, so we can ask her questions that are not related only to our read.

Hi Nimrod, is there already a thread started for The Whitefire Crossing? If not I'll start one.

It is going to be another crazy month

Yes, there's one. The dedicated thread I mentioned was for the Q&A.

Six of Crows is supposed to start towards the end of April but there is no fixed date yet for it. Folders are already made by Scott I think.

We moved Blood and Bone up to April 25th trying to catch up on Malazan for the release of Deadhouse Landing on Aug 8th.

I just realized that the release date is my bday :)

Being through all the Malazan published books is a pretty good birthday present.

Annabeth and I will be reading Six of Crows starting with 24 April. Could you please add it Angela?
I also remember seeing a thread for it somewhere made but I'm not sure about it. if it's not there could you please make it if you don't mind?

Thanks guys. I'll get to these updates for the schedule in April in the next few days.

Hi Nimrod, so found the thread. I'm confused though. Are you reading Whitefire Crossing on the 20th or the Labyrinth of Flame?

Thanks Scott.

True. Whitefire Crossing is scheduled for the 20th. I haven't mentioned book 3.

There's a thread for that, Scott created one sometime ago, it's just not mentioned above.

Added The Whitefire Crossing.

Angela wrote: "Added The Whitefire Crossing."

Haha, oops, now I understand why you got confused :)
I see that when I created the topic I mentioned The Whitefire Crossing, but named the topic not according to that. Silly me, you should have told me why you got confused :)

I fixed the problem, not need for the new thread.

Is anyone doing the memory, sorrow, and thorn read?

Hi Richard,

If you click on the below link you can see who is reading the first book in the series. Thanks Angela.

Note I've changed Memories of Ice to the 10th April if anyone was planning to join the read with Samir and I this month.

The Whitefire Crossing isn't listed on the group bookshelf, can you please add the book?

Thanks for letting us know Nimrod. I've added to the bookshelf.

Thanks!

Sorry I've been away on vacation and meant to add it after your PM but one thing or another has distracted me.

That's why we have a few mods, isn't it?
I hope you enjoyed your vacation :)

Nice! Where did you go on vacation?

St Thomas

Hi Angela. Three of us have decided to go on with Tad Williams Memory of Sorrow and Thorn as we loved the first book. Could you please make us a separate thread for it. We'd like to start on the second book Stone of Farewell straight off.
