Erik F. | 29 comments I finally hope to read her in 2015. I'll probably start with Ice, but I'm certainly open to other suggestions.


message 2: by Luke (new)

Luke (korrick) I recently snatched up Ice, so 2015 would be a good year for finding out what all the fuss is about.


message 3: by Erik F. (new)

Erik F. | 29 comments Who Are You? and Sleep Has His House also seem quite interesting.


message 4: by Daniel (new)

Daniel | 20 comments I would definitely start with Ice, although sometimes you can find a specific 5-pack of her novels pretty cheaply on the internet, so that might be more bang for your buck if you can find it.

Bizarrely, there is an issue of Vogue on sale on ebay with one of her short stories featured in it.

Traveller (moontravlr) | 736 comments I'm good for Ice.

Samadrita (fictionista01) | 61 comments I'm good with Ice too.


message 7: by Traveller (new)

Traveller (moontravlr) | 736 comments Since we're already quite full for January and February, more or less which timeframe are we looking at?


message 8: by Russell (new)

Russell | 44 comments I'm in for Ice too!


message 9: by Matthew (new)

Matthew | 6 comments I'm in for Ice as well, what does March look like in everybody's schedule? Things are quickly filling up for me.


message 10: by Samadrita (new)

Samadrita (fictionista01) | 61 comments March is okay for me.


message 11: by Erik F. (new)

Erik F. | 29 comments March is fine with me. (Does that mean starting on March 1st? And how quickly/slowly are we going to read it?)


message 12: by Traveller (new)

Traveller (moontravlr) | 736 comments Er... how about April? :P


message 13: by Laima (new)

Laima | 33 comments I would like to read Ice as well.


message 14: by Carly (new)

Carly (carlyguy820) I'm all for Ice in March! Looking forward to it!

Traveller (moontravlr) | 736 comments Sadly, I'm out of it then, due to too many other reads early in the year. I'll try to catch the tail-end of the discussion. :)

I already have three group discussions in January, at least two in February, and at least two in March.
So was really hoping for an April slot with this....

Nate D (rockhyrax) | 55 comments She's the best. Sadly, I seem to have exhausted most of the catalog already. At least I'll get to Change the Name and A Stranger Still this year, then it'll just be a matter of hoping for the other three of her never-republished early works under her own name to reappear...


message 17: by Russell (new)

Russell | 44 comments So are we all thinking March or April?? My vote is for April, as is doesn't have as many group reads going in that month yet. What say everyone else?


message 18: by Traveller (new)

Traveller (moontravlr) | 736 comments Thank you, Russel. Very kind of you to suggest that. Everybody wants their favorite read booked for as soon as possible, I suppose, so the first 3 months filled up with the speed of light. I also had a discussion in another group already booked for January before I even joined here, so.... I really hope the others will agree.
