No rush, as I have to finish my current book. I will probably finish it in a few days. You can open a thread when you have it and let me know.

Space Opera by Catherynne Valente is on my list. I will be happy to read it with you as well.
That's awesome!
I've been trying to get it for awhile. Was just able to find a copy.

Unfortunately, Come Tumbling Down is out of my reach, at least for a few more days.

I will let you know when I have it!
No worries, it will give me a chance to finish my current book.

I finally have it!

Whenever you're ready to start it just open a thread and tag me in.
I have a book I can continue if you're reading something else.

Great!

I am about to finish my current book, so we can start it tonight or tomorrow if you like.

Do you want to start the Space Opera next?

Hi gali, I was wondering if you have any new books on the horizon (after your current one)?
Also, do you like Maeve Binchy type of books? Are you familiar with her stories? Just curious, I guess.

My reading list is long... I want to read "The Ten Thousand Doors of January", "A Novel Bookstore" by Laurence Cossé, "The Absolute Book" by Elizabeth Knox, "The Vanished Birds" by Simon Jimenez, books by Robert Galbraith, to name a few.

I have heard of Maeve Binchy, but I don't think I have read her books. Do you have a specific book in mind? I am open to suggestions.

Maeve Binchy is an Irish female author. One of her most famous books is 'The Lilac Bus'. However, the book I'm interested in currently is called "The Tour", by Jean Grainger. You can find a book description on Amazon or similar website. This book is said to be similar to Maeve Binchy's books, hence the reference to Binchy.

I checked, and it sounds good. I see it is part of a series, though. Does it stand on its own?

Good eye. I totally forgot to notice the part about it being a series. I don't know exactly whether I want to pursue this book anymore. What if we read the first book but don't want to commit to the whole series? What are your thoughts about this situation?

Fine by me.

When do you want to start it? I didn't start a new book yet, so we can start it today if you like.
