Ah, that reminds me, I forgot to post about it. Considering we’ve been rolling right from one volume to the next without breaks, I figured I’d do the volume 4 post on Thursday (my time), then the “start reading this week” post on Friday (usual time).

For some reason, I keep thinking today’s Tuesday when it’s actually Thursday, so I’m a bit off schedule… Looks like I’ll be getting that post up in the next hour or so!

Due to life being busy, I managed to stop at the end of volume 3 again to wait for the club. (Ok so I may have read the first 5 pages or so of volume 4.)

Being behind with everything else meant I stopped there. And I’ve now got about 5 other clubs to catch up to before I let myself read ahead again. Probably.

The beginner book club is currently holding a poll on what we will read next! Head over there if you are interested and haven’t done so

@ChristopherFritz It took me far to long to recognize you with your new profile picture :santa:

I’m just glad someone is carrying on the Urushi avatar tradition while I’ve been using other characters for a bit! :joy:

I have to admit, I didn’t notice your change until after mine, and I hoped that wasn’t a sign I’d swiped your character away from you :wink:

Nope, no swiping at all! I had been a different character for a while before you made the change. :grin:

For anyone who’s considered reading Shadows House, but aren’t sure if you will like it, the first two volumes are free to read through May 3rd.

Volume 7’s thread is up!

Just a heads up, volume 8 has 11 chapters and volumes 9-13 have 9 chapters instead of the 12 that most volumes have had so far. Given the odd number you all might want to discuss how to handle that for scheduling.

Maybe we could do three chapters in one reading at the end of each volume?
Volume 8: 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 3
Volumes 9-13: 2 + 2 + 2 + 3

Potentially a good idea, but I just looked and the last 3 chapters are all fairly long for volume 8. For that volume, I’d be tempted to group the first 3 chapters. I’m reading ahead, so just looked back, and those are not very text-dense so would work well together.

Sounds good to me! That way, when we start the new volume, we get some extra, like when an anime season starts with a double episode :grin:

What solutions would you be okay with when a volume has an odd number of chapters?

  • Read one chapter: Have a week with only one chapter.
  • Read two chapters: Join one volume’s final chapter with the next’s starting chapter.
  • Read three chapters: Have a week with three chapters.
