November Group Read: Kick Off Post

[glinda]

It’s November the 1st! Ready, steady - read!



In exciting news we’ve got lots of new participants this year - thank you to everyone to promoted it to their reading lists! - so just a couple of brief housekeeping notes. Check-ins will be every Friday, with a final sneaky wee extra check-in/round up post on the 30th to share the joy/commiserate! Don’t worry if you forget to check in, there’s no penalty, commenting late or checking in for two weeks at the same time is perfectly fine! Also some people find making a list at the start and sharing it helps with accountability, so if that’s something you’re into then feel free to use the comments on this post for that.

And most importantly: have fun!

Ok, so this year I’m attempting to tackle my backlog of hardback books - I normally read more on the go so generally prefer paperbacks - really lean into the whole #stayhome vibe. I want to read any four of the following books:

Yang and Grogg - Frank Beattie
The Silver Chanter - Wendy Wood
Modern Scotland - James G Kellas
The Sundance Kids - James Mottram
Deep light - Frances Hardinge
Provenance - Ann Leckie
Gun Island - Amitav Ghosh
Colony - Rob Grant
And Another Thing... - Eoin Colfer
A Song for Arbonne - Guy Gavriel Kay
Rant - Chuck Palahniuk
Dragonhaven - Robin McKinley

I’ll be interested to see what you think of provenance and a song for Arbonne as both are on my TBR pile but not to be tackled just now.
