The Reading Squad. discussion

Hey, so should we set a pace, or an ammount of pages a week that we assign ourselves, so we wind up talking about them before moving on? Or should we just fire the gun and go? What do you guys think?

I vote chapter numbers since we may not all be reading the same edition.

You have a point.

Yeah, put me down for chapters as well. I have the last 2 books in the omnibus edition and I should have the first 2 for next week. 99%.

Depending on how engrossing it is (I am expecting big things) I could finish this in a matter of days but around 1-2 weeks per book seems like decent 'ballpark' assignage. I'm definitely giving it the 2 book minimum grace period.

This place has spoiler tags right? Cool.

How do the rest of you feel about a book of week idea? Too much? About right?

That sounds too fast. I'm rereading, so I may resort to skimming if our turn around is faster that two weeks per book.

Lets see how this goes but 2 weeks should be enough for everyone to finish the first one. We can adjust if someone decides to pull an extended shift.

Is there anyone else we're waiting for? I think we have 4 yays so far.

So I'm thinking 14-17 days.

I'll go look into that spoiler tags thing...

Just loaded the book up onto my kindle today, planning on putting in a few chapters after dinner tonight! LETS DO THIS THING.

Don't read too far yet. I want to make sure Fizzy and Ignition (and Pokota?) have the book.

I figure we should make a thread titled "First Five Chapters", containing spoilers just from that, and then have a separate one for the whole of the first book.

Clarification: by first book do you mean Shadow in Summer or Shadow and Betrayal?

I was thinking Shadow in Summer.

I have Shadow In Summer. Looks like chapters are roughly 20-30 pages in this edition.

I've read the prologue. Glad they set things up quickly (I was dreading reading chapter after chapter of Hogwarts meets Cinderella the early years)and loved the way the Andat was explained. You get a grasp of what it is yet it(?) still maintains its aura and mystic.

Maybe keep this thread so people can update their status and then have individual threads going in 5 chapter increments or when something major happens/other general discussions regarding charaters etc.

I've read the first 4 chapters.

Chapter 5 is 10 pages long. Looks like something is gonna happen.

I can see me finishing this on the weekend.
