It's May 29, and about time to get started.
Here's a quick roll call of those who'd said they're in.

@ScarletBea
@Peat
@G_R_Matthews
@m3mnoch
@Eclipse
@Raptori?
@Sarene
@justan henner
@observantraven
@Eli_Freysson
@Lanko
@tebakutis
@JRTroughton
@SJBudd
@Delaney
@victoria hooper

If we get half you good people, I'll be delighted.
If we don't, I will track all of you down and force-feed torn up shreds of paperback books until you're praying I chose Alice in Wonderland instead of all 1,285 pages of Winds of Winter, and then I'll --

--we interrupt this tirade with calming images --


-- be very grateful for all who participate.

Let the reading begin!

I'm definitely still in. Just gotta finish off K-PAX (which I started this morning) and then I'll get reading!  :)

I love K-PAX, book and film! The sequels (2 and 3) are good... number 4, less so. Enjoy!

Good to hear! Love the film, and so far the book is just as good. Will have to add the sequels to my tbr!

Lately:

- 3 Horror books that were not horror at all.
- Lots of ideas, but no mood to write them.
- My first DNF ever.

This is it, Mr.Matthews. This is your chance to make us rage and cry with your characters! To be shocked and awed! If you fail the frustration levels will reach critical point and all hell will break loose upon you!

But hey, no pressure  ::)

erm... Lanko... can I just say, to protect Geoff, that I enjoyed book 1 but really liked much more books 2 and 3?
