EVERYONE Has Read This but Me - The Catch-Up Book Club discussion

Welcome everyone to our October 2020 Modern Classic/Popular Group Read; this month we'll be reading through Coraline by Neil Gaiman.

Who is joining in this read? Will it be your first time reading or is this a reread? How long have you been meaning to read this book?

I'm in! This will be my first time reading this classic.

:)

I want to join, but I don't have that book. I should probably just order it.

I love this book. I may reread as well as follow along

Neil Gaiman is one of my favourite authors, but for some reason I've never picked up Coraline. Looking forward to finally reading it in October.

I’m in! First book read with this group

I haven't read this but love the movie!! I made my husband watch it and he refuses now because it was "weird" hahaha. I'm excited for this one for sure.

I don't think I ever finished watching the movie and I wasn't even aware it was based on a book haha. Since it's short enough, I'll be giving it a read this October. I look forward to seeing how it compares to the film :)

I will join and it's the first time reading it. (I have actually already started it since there are so many books I want to join in reading here on Goodreads in october, I'm afraid I will not have enough time!) 🙂

I read this in 2017, so it might be time for a reread. I've read some more Gaimen since then and I think have a better appreciation for his writing style now. I guess I'll see how busy I get in October with other books.

Hi! I just started reading this one :)

Great book. I read it last month

I’m in! It’s also my first read with this group! Very excited about this.

I'm In. Just started "listening" to it today. :) The audiobook is read by the author and I am enjoying it so far.

I would love to read this book ! I'm about to start The Graveyard Book, also by Neil Gaiman

I'm in - just bought this the other day and excited to read it.

Yay! I ordered mine a couple of days back, still waiting for it to arrive. Can’t wait to start! :)

I’ll be joining - it’s my first Neil Gaiman read, and I’m super excited!!! :)

This is my first read with the group and I’m excited to kick it off with this book! The movie used to be one of my favorites, I’m looking forward to reading what inspired the movie.

I've never read this popular book! I'm in.

just got the audiobook!! very excited for this :))

I finished the first chapter and can't stop reading. It's a first time read for me.

It's nice to see so many first-timers with this book - is anyone else joining this month?

If you don't own the audiobook, you might want to look at the youtube channel of the New York public library. They published a complete read of the novel, chapter 1-4 are read by Gaiman himself.
