KimHM I'll order my copy soon, too. How formal or structured will we want to be about the reading? (I've never done a readalong.) @vivastory @tpixie @Hollie 7y
brennahawleycraig @KimHM I haven't either. Thoughts, @tpixie @vivastory @Hollie? I will say, flipping through it today, it's a lot of very short chapters. 7y
Hollie @KimHM I haven't seen the book yet, but we could break it into sections each week that we will all read so we can discuss as we go. It will be really interesting to get the KS Litten perspective on this book I think! 7y
Hollie @brennahawleycraig are those chapters such that we could break them into 3 or 4 sections. There may be a thematic way to sort the sections, im not sure how the book is set up. 7y
brennahawleycraig @Hollie it looks like there are 10 parts, each with various chapters. And then a couple of pages for an ending. 7y
vivastory @brennahawleycraig @hollie @kimhm @tpixie I'm ordering my copy tonight. It sounds like a long book, so maybe we can space it out over several weeks 7y
tpixie I'll get mine on Saturday- it's 480 pages. I'm not a fast reader , so I agree to space it out ( plus I'm in 3 book clubs) but I'm excited to do a #KansasLittens #kansas #buddyread ! @vivastory @brennahawleycraig @Hollie @KimHM (edited) 7y
tpixie @Heretherebedragons order the book for a KS buddy read! 7y
tpixie I found another Kansan! @Chelsibno here's where the info is! (edited) 7y

brennahawleycraig @Chelsibno yayyyy!! 7y
vivastory @Chelsibno Glad you're joining! 7y
Chelsibno I just submitted my ILL request for it! 7y
books_cats_art Ok, I've never really done a read-a-long online before, but the book looks so good and I love finding Kansans on Litsy! I'm ordering the book now and I'll have it in time for the lake this weekend! When does the read-a-long start? 7y
tpixie @Mvieyra4 I don't know if you'll have time with school coming up, but here's a Kansas #buddyread event we're gonna do. I bought the book on Amazon for $11. 7y
brennahawleycraig @radishandhare no official decisions yet, but august 1 got thrown out. And I haven't done one either! What lake are you going to? 7y
Hollie @JacintaMCarter @sammisho @HaveANamaste up for a Kansas buddy read in August? 7y
sammisho @hollie I am a Missouri girl! But I would still be down with that! 7y
Karen.reads @Hollie oh wow! This sounds good but I am trying to finish American War and I don't think I can do 2 dystopian novels back to back! 7y
Hollie @HaveANamaste good point. One is enough to depress you for a while! 7y
Hollie @HaveANamaste good point. One is enough to depress you for a while! 7y
