Got this doorstopper of a 650-page hardcover for 30% off at a Boxing Day sale. I am planning to read it for the Litsy reading challenge - set over 150 years ago - this one's set in 16th century what-is-now-Germany.
drokka Ooooh. I did not know he had a new book out. Blast! My 2016 book budget has all but evaporated, and 2017 is seriously reduced and pretty much spoken for. How to make this happen *goes to ponder* 7y
shawnmooney @drokka If you're an Audible subscriber, I see they have it. If not, why not take advantage of their trial offer of a free audiobook? But I know audiobooks aren't for everyone... 7y
drokka I'm not an audible subscriber, but love audiobooks. I've not done any of his on audio, but will look into it. Thanks for he info. Turns out my library has the book. Who knew? (edited) 7y

shawnmooney @Cinfhen This is the one! ❤😘 7y
Cinfhen @shawnmooney I am so in! Can we tackle this over the summer? 7y
shawnmooney @Cinfhen Yes! 😍 7y
shawnmooney @Cinfhen Hey girlfriend, are we still on for this buddy read? I won't be at all offended if for any reason you don't want to – especially given my tendency to bail. I have a feeling this one will be a keeper, but who knows! :-) Is July good for you? Also, are you OK with reading it over a couple months or more? It's quite a hefty tome! 😍😍 (edited) 7y
shawnmooney @drokka Would you be interested in joining our buddy read? 7y
drokka Oh yes please! I have a copy now, so I can do it over a couple/few months. July would work for me as a start time as well (or whenever really). Thanks for thinking of me 🙂 7y
Cinfhen Thanks for the reminder! 😘😘😘July sounds good because I'm tackling GWTW in June! Yes, I'm willing to give it a go and happy @drokka wants in! 7y
shawnmooney @drokka @Cinfhen I am excited to begin in July! ❤️ 7y
shawnmooney @Annl Care to join our buddy read? We'll be starting July 1st 7y
Annl Yes I would love to! 7y
shawnmooney @Cinfhen @drokka We've got another buddy to read along with us, @Annl ! Great! 7y
drokka Welcome @Annl ! 7y
Annl Thanks @drokka 7y
Cinfhen Hi @Annl happy to have another reader along for the journey 😊 7y
Cinfhen @drokka @Annl and Shawn, we need a clever hashtag!!! 7y
Annl @shawnmooney @Cinfhen @drokka I checked out a cop of The Castle of Kings from the library today. Are we still starting tomorrow? 7y
drokka @shawnmooney @Cinfhen @Annl I'm going to try to start tomorrow. If not, Sunday for sure. Since I'm now packing for a move, I'll likely be spreading it out over both July and August as well. As for a tag I wonder how well #CoK would go over. I did think we could do @OPCoK, but I don't know if that's informative enough. It is about the Peasants Revolt so we could maybe use that? #PeasantsRevolt 7y
Cinfhen I'm away for the weekend and didn't bring my copy along, but plan on starting next week @Annl @shawnmooney @drokka 7y
Cinfhen I like #CoK short & sweet @drooka 7y
shawnmooney @Cinfhen @drokka @Annl Am I the only dirty-minded book geek who will always be pronouncing this hashtag in my mind and giggling? I don't care about that, but now that I've planted the impure thought in your pure minds, might I suggest #tcok instead? If nobody cares about that – I really do not - #cok is just fine! 😂 7y
Cinfhen Hahahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 7y
Annl I am fine with either. 😉 7y
drokka I'm down with #CoK. And no, you are not alone @shawnmooney my inner 12 year old says it the same way. 😂 @Cinfhen @Annl 7y
shawnmooney @Cinfhen @drokka @Annl Guys, my very first post with #CoK got a guffawing comment about the hashtag. Can I suggest we just go with #Castle instead? 😂 (edited) 7y
Cinfhen Hi @shawnmooney @drokka @Annl please forgive me...I wasn't able to shlepp #castle to Florida- looks like I may not be joining the buddy read...I'm still trying to finish #gwtw 7y
shawnmooney @Cinfhen Oh that's too bad, but no worries! I'm not at all sure I'm going to finish it, but it's holding my interest enough to continue for now… 7y
drokka @Cinfhen That's poopy, but I totally get it. Do what you have to do for you. No point in resenting a book because you feel it's a chore. Enjoy your holiday ⛱🎢🎡🏖🌊🌊 7y
Cinfhen Just seeing these comments now @drokka @shawnmooney Thanks for the good vacation wishes 😘😘😗and seeing that Shawn bailed.....I'm feeling less guilty about abandoning ship! 7y
