Bravo! I look forward to reading them all.

 

[LJ Beck]

Heya! Just checking it's The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea - Don't want to buy the wrong book!

 

[Jason L.]

BENEATH! BENEATH!

OH MY GOODNESS MAYBE SOMETHING YOU'LL LIKE????

 

[Peyton Stafford]

Hmm...beneath, beneath, look the same to me. Under something. What am I missing?

Reminds me of a law school exam:

Paragraph One... blah, blah, blah.

Paragraph Two... same blah, blah, blah.

Question: What is the difference between the first and second paragraphs?

Hint (but from me, not from the professor) If you know about concept of case law, the answer is obvious.

It looks like Jason edited the initial post. I think it was "The Girl Who Fell Under the Sea" before he corrected it.

Got 'em!

I'm going to have to give January a pass. I can't read that fast, and I don't want to know the ending before I get there, so I'll start on the Feb one instead.

 

[James Charles]

Yikes. Me too. I'll ship and read Achilles for Feb.

 

[LJ Beck]

Hey, @Jason L! Here's a whacky suggestion, to take or leave as you see fit of course.

What do you think of pushing things a bit (or maybe just skipping January?) so that everyone has a chance to read this first book? I'm only half way through the book myself, and not sure I'll make it either... (btw I'm really enjoying it!)

 

[Jason L.]

Why don't we put it to the 29th? I have something booked on the 22nd at 15:00 EST.

 

[Hannah F]

If I read this for 29th (possible), the next two would need to shunt along as well because I just can't read that fast (and I need to write too). I'm fine with giving this a miss (though I will eventually read it) and give myself a chance to read the next two in time for their slots.

 

[LJ Beck]

Yes, I was also thinking it might be good to shunt along the dates a little, just to give us a chance to catch up a bit from holidays and what-not. But like Hannah, I'll go with the flow and join as I can.

 

[AgentPete]

Is the 29th firm, then? If so, I'll promote.

I'll be missing this weekend, but got the second two... So excited
