Traveller (moontravlr) | 736 comments Wow, Novel w/out a Name looks like something I would like to read. Have you read it, would you like to discuss it?

I haven't read it, but I'm going to this year. I thought it would be good to discuss with anyone that might want to read. Let me know if/when you want to.


message 4: by Traveller (new)

Traveller (moontravlr) | 736 comments I would definitely be interested a bit later on in the year, if I can get hold of the novel. I will start looking for it ASAP.

Thanks for introducing this author. I had not been aware of her before. :)

Traveller (moontravlr) | 736 comments Whoo-hoo! I got hold of a copy of Novel without a Name! (But it will only arrive next month.) Now we need to get people to read it with us.

I'm just catching up with this thread! I wish I had known, I would've sent you a copy. I have easy access here.

I'm so happy to read this with someone. I'm in a group for February, but I typically can read 2-3 novel-length books a month. Let me know when you want to start. Thanks again!

Also, I'm sure I can recruit a few more to join.

Traveller (moontravlr) | 736 comments Grr, my book hasn't arrived yet! I might want to follow up on that order... *Looks at date* Hmm, maybe I'm being a bit impatient here...

Dharmakirti | 52 comments I would be interested in readnig either Paradise of the Blind or Novel Without a Name.


message 9: by Traveller (new)

Traveller (moontravlr) | 736 comments Novel Without a Name, please. How about July-ish?


message 10: by Douglas (new)

Douglas (thousandbooks) Yes! July is perfect for me. I hope you get your copy soon. Looking forward to this.


message 11: by Dharmakirti (new)

Dharmakirti | 52 comments July would work for me.

Zanna (zannastar) | 337 comments I'm interested in joining this read :-)


message 13: by Traveller (new)

Traveller (moontravlr) | 736 comments Okay people, in that case, the discussion thread is here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

I'm hoping all of you won't mind if we started this July 10? July 1st is a bit hectic already.


message 14: by Sue (new)

Sue | 155 comments I may join this if I'm not already overbooked (literally).


message 15: by Traveller (new)

Traveller (moontravlr) | 736 comments Yes, I'm also pretty overbooked, but I think I'll be starting this one earlier possibly... just put it for that date because everything else is already so overbooked. :(

I would have suggested later in the year, but I feel quite eager to read this one, and I suspect so is Douglas.


message 16: by Traveller (new)

Traveller (moontravlr) | 736 comments All right, so is it okay then if we put Novel Without a Name back to June 15?


message 17: by Douglas (new)

Douglas (thousandbooks) I'm good with any time this summer. I know I have to read this book, so I'm pretty open. Thanks!


message 18: by Zanna (new)

Zanna (zannastar) | 337 comments Fine for me...


message 19: by Traveller (new)

Traveller (moontravlr) | 736 comments Nice, thanks!


message 20: by Sue (new)

Sue | 155 comments I'll try.
