November Group Read Sign Up Post!

[glinda]

So, based on the response to the last post I think we can safely say that people would like to do the thing. (Thank you for keeping yourselves entertained while I fell off the internet for a week and a bit, sorry about that.) So here we have the sign up post!

Basically this can be as big or as little of a commitment as you feel up to. Dependant on your reading speed/available time you can sign up to read one book or ten books. Doesn't matter how big or small the book, only that its something that has been taking up space on your book shelf (or case/box/tottering pile beside your bed) for some time and you've never quite got round to it.

All you need to do is comment below with the book(s) you want to read this month.

Each Friday in November I will make a check-in post, and you can comment with your progress so far. Celebrating little achievements as well as big ones is heartily encouraged.

I'm going to go with the hopefully managable target of four books. One a week.

Whenever I pick specific books for this challenge I instantly want to read any other book, so my usual tactic is to just make a list and say any 4 from this list. So.

Victory of Eagles - Naomi Novik
Tongues of Serpents - Naomi Novik
Neuromancer - William Gibson
The Gracekeepers - Kirsty Logan
The Grace of Kings - Ken Liu
Odd Thomas - Dean Koontz
Alien Woman: The Make of Lt Ellen Ripley - Gallardo C & Smith
The Silver Chanter - Wendy Wood
The Basque History of the World - Mark Kurlansky
The Philosophy of Punk - Craig O'Hara
The Colour Purple - Alice Walker

Any four of the above!

Good luck - I'm not familiar with many on your list - although I do have both a Naomi Novik (Uprooted?) on the pile somewhere and The Colour Purple is on my list of ones to borrow from the library.
