Hahaha...your mod veto expired a while back :)

Path of Thorns!

Let's pick a time to discuss Path of Thorns!

She means His Majesty's Dragon XD (not really, I'm playing... with thorns)

Looks like our time is 12pm EST/ 5pm GMT Sept 29!

Nice! It’s Sunday and enough time for me to get to the book.

So I'm thinking of joining in on the next meeting (not this upcoming one). I'm still navigating the chat threads can someone explain to me how this works? I'm a bit confused about which book is picked for October for example.
thank you!

Hi Sonya! We will be discussing The Path of Thorns in September, and then after that meeting selecting the October book from a pool consisting of the winners of the October BOTM polls and the 2 re-read selections that are scheduled to start Oct 15. So come back Sept 29/30 to help us select a day, time and book!

Awesome ok. I will check back.
may try to read path of thorns too, if I have time. Sounds like a fun read.

Definitely a lot to discuss and well written! I hope you have time, otherwise we'll "see" you in October! ^^

Reminder! We're chatting about Path of Thorns on Sunday! Or possibly Monday if you're more than 8 hours east of London!

See you on Sunday.

I am going to try to make it to VBC tomorrow but I'm visiting my ailing mother-in-law so that may have to take precedence.

I’ll be there!!

Cheryl, my thoughts are with you, and I hope you can join, but understand how these things go.

Two hours!

I will be there

Is October gonna be one of the series (Ancillary and was there something else, too?) or a catchup or one of these?


Shards of Earth
The Ninth Rain
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep
Alphabet of Thorn

Help us pick a when!

Alphabet of Thorn








Do Androids Dream a distant second

I vote for Alphabet of Thorn too.

I just finished the book tonight and saw I missed the meeting 😂. I'm too slow!

it's ok! come try again!

Little light this month on both possible attendees and book choices! Please vote for a book you'd like to read and/or a time slot! If no one is terribly interested, we'll just try again in November :)

I can always talk about Ninth Rain! It's been forever since I read Do Androids and I can't find a copy of the other two.

Shards of earth is the only one I’ve already read. Is there a consensus on which one we’re doing?

There is no book consensus and only 5 people can agree for sure on a time. I'm getting the vibe that maybe this month is a bit challenging.

I propose that we meet on Oct 31st and the only thing on the agenda is Allison reading aloud the final chapter of Lonesome October.

Aw, that would be very cute.

That sounds like fun!

There's that Thursday VBC we've all been hoping for?

haha

:) I'm in for all that

haha would 4 pm Eastern work? end of the day for East Coast, lunch ish for West, bedtime for Europe?

What a way to end October! (It would be 11pm my time.) I said that as a joke but I'd love it if you will actually do this!

I don't get home until 6pm eastern.

I'll be at work but can move lunch break around to participate, though it'd be more of a social occasion for me since I haven't read Lonesome October. Maybe it'd also be a good opportunity to talk about the autumnal, spooky, or horror books we've read this season.

Wait. No. I don't have rehearsal on Halloween. I can chime in @ 4:15est.

We are flying to Athens on Halloween! What a bummer I’ll miss a Lonesome October Party! 🎃

I was inspired by Diane to read Wylding Hall for October, and am considering that Stephen Graham one

... Jones.
The Only Good Indians

So we aren't reading Shards of Earth or Ninth Rain for this month's call?

sadly, we do not have quorum. we'll try again for November!

Watch this space for a link to a meeting for a reading of the last chapter of A Night in the Lonesome October on Oct 31, 4 pm EST/ 9PM GMT

Woot!!

So happy you’re doing it! I’m not sure what time we are arriving in Athens, but I might be able to tune in.

I’m not sure if I’ll be home then but I’ll join if I can.

How are we feeling about Radch series meeting?

A meeting of the Radchaai would be beneficial.

I would love a meet up about the Radch series in the (near) future.

I will join, but give me 2 weeks notice?

I need some time to finish the third book, so maybe sometime in November?
