Zaara | 4273 comments :-D
Ha!

Veronica  (readingonthefly) | 3613 comments I'm going to try to fit this in. I've not read any Abercrombie before though most of his books have been on my list for years now.

This should be interesting and when you guys start I hope Glokta will treat you well

Iain, Ian, Eon, Eye-Ane, Lain... fun times having an uncommon name Ahdam... both in the spelling by sound and the sounding out from spelling


message 22: by Veronica (new) - added it

Veronica  (readingonthefly) | 3613 comments Autocorrect is not your friend.


Ahdam (snowlocke) | 2429 comments Tell me about it although I'm guessing your name is pronounced Ian but I keep laughing because I pronounce it as E-YAY-an as a joke no offense

Timelord Iain | 35470 comments Mod
That's great... I should act like my name is that happy... YAY-an

And yea... it's Ian with an extra I... and that extra I sure confuses people when I'm spelling it for people to write down...

True dat!

Ahdam wrote: "This should be interesting and when you guys start I hope Glokta will treat you well "

I hope so too. Looking forward to it esp now that so many of us are reading together!

Extra happy, like extra cheese, is always good...I-yay-n

Good to know...Happy new year then guys!


Diana Stormblessed (dashichka) | 5380 comments I'm probably starting this one early. Just finished my last book last night and if I start something else now I'll be late to starting this one. So if anyone wants to join in a little early... :-) I'll try to read slow as to not get too far ahead.


message 39: by Charlie (new) - added it

Charlie (charlieridley) | 5750 comments I managed to grab a copy of this for a few quid at my favourite second hand bookshop so I'm definitely joining in with this one.

Wooooop woop!


Seán | 602 comments I'm just starting this today - not too early, but I always feel bad getting a head start!


Zaara | 4273 comments I'll start this tomorrow


Zaara | 4273 comments Siobhan, just noticed Charlie's here too? Great!


Zaara | 4273 comments I never start early but I won't be here 28-29 plus I'm glacially slow...


Olivia (vinjii) | 1147 comments Ok, ok, ok, I am here... I don't need more books but this has been on my Kindle forever, I am here lol


Chris (murphy44) | 710 comments Seán wrote: "I'm just starting this today - not too early, but I always feel bad getting a head start!"

I ninja started it a couple of days ago because I've got a read a week in November where I have to average 70 pages a day, which is going to be tough for me.


Siobhan (poi5ongirl) | 8703 comments I reading Something Wicked This Way Comes first, but hopefully I'll catch you guys up! :)

I'm listening to Something Wicked, but I do need to wrap up Good Omens (which I am reading) before I start on this.

I'm reading Blackwing at the moment... probably gonna squeeze in a quick Sebastian St Cyr before starting as well... didn't realize how close to start time its become...


Laura (lauradragonchild) | 6554 comments I'll be a little late also as I'm reading Strange the Dreamer and another book now.
