Hi Penny...my thoughts as follows: Does anyone know how many chapters are in the book? My vote would be chapter by chapter. First chapter read by April 10th and discussion begins on the 11th. Or something along those lines. Also, there could be specific talking points of each chapter (a list of ques prepared by a reader presented the day before discussion...a different reader each week could prep ques), individual interpretations of each chapter or basic discussion regarding each chapter. And anyone could still read ahead but focus could be on a chapter by chapter format. My thoughts....fwiw!

Ok, that's kinda of what DD55 also said about the Chapters. I kinda think it's going to be a fast read for all of us, and I really don't want to go into the date of April 21st, (our minds will be frazzled that day)

.

You can read ahead if you like but the discussions will take place on these dates.

Chapter 1 discussion will begin April 10 (we've got to wait until everyone gets their book)

Chapter 2 discussion will begin April 12

Chapter 3 .... April 14

And so on.

Is everybody ok with doing the talking points, with each chapter?

I had no intention of reading this book since I don't see it as much more than a cash-in but, hey, I had a credit on audible to spare so i'm after purchasing the audiobook so I guess i'm in.

How about people just use spoilers on their post, mention the chapter they're going to talk about if they think they're skipping ahead?

anyway, do we know who the ghostwriter of this is?

Ok, so we all know that we all will just read the heck out of this book. But we will go chapter by chapter. And of course if we all get done we don't have to be set to certain days!

I ordered mine from Barnes & Noble only because I had a gift card, otherwise I would've ordered from Amazon for my Kindle Fire. UPS is going to be pretty darn busy delivering to our houses!!

Certain predictable non-readers are chomping at the bit with anticipation to troll and flame this thread.

Having lurked on that other thread, I predict that there's at least one or two in particular who will show up in this thread with nothing more to contribute than to cast aspersons on and to character assassinate the lovely Miss Garcia — without ever even having read the book.

I hope that legitimate book readers here will be vigilant in siccing the moderators on those inevitable trolls, flamers and baiters who have already sworn so emphatically in the other thread that they won't be reading the book.

I assure you this will not happen, and if it does, those people will be removed. (already taking names) Are you going to join us in reading the book? Join us.

Thanks for that invite PennyPurple.

I ordered the book a week and a half ago.,

I can't commit to weighing in here on any scheduled basis. But I'd like the option to chime in at some point. If that's OK?

Perfect! You are always welcome!

I'm in! I'm in! I've got my book on order.

Yay!!!

Can I play too? I won't get mine till the morning of the 6th...so I'll probably have finished it by lunchtime But I think a chapter at a time sounds great. Thanks for organizing this Penny, and thanks also for your intention to keep it civil. The relentless dragging of Mayte is doing my head in. That said, it might well raise some tough questions, so I hope we can talk about that, without decending into nastiness...I think we all just want to understand P better, and try and understand what happened, and how M's version of her part of that story might shed light on that. Anyway, cheers

I think this a good idea. Even if people will read the book in one or two days (and you all know you will!), they can still discuss it chapter by chapter without giving anything away.

I ordered mine from Amazon so it might not be here for a week or so after release. But I'm in.

Thank you for this, I would LOVE to join. The other thread has so many unbelievably cruel inputs that I want no part of. I can't wait for my book to arrive!

Thanks everyone for joining! Anyone who reads the book is free to partake in convo here! The dates for the discussion of the chapters may be moved up because everyone will probably get thru the book really quick!

Can't wait to get it!

I pre ordered mine in September through Amazon. I just checked and it says the expected ship date is today. I'll admit, I'll probably read it in one day but I will try to make time to partake in the conversation. I don't like some of the nasty name calling I have read on the other thread so I look forward to some nice friendly ADULT conversation.

I am in but once I read the book I will share my thoughts.

Team Mayte.

And happy that this thread is going to be monitor.

Yay! More Book Clubbers!!! We'll discuss it by chapters, this thread will be kept civil. Can't wait!

Thanks Penny!! Looking forward to interesting and fun discussions. Thank you for organizing this!!

I would like to join also. I ordered my book on same day it could be pre-ordered. I, however, may not be able to check in as scheduled. Will participate as I can. By choice, I've stayed away the other thread once it went beyond civil. Thank you!

I'd been wavering on whether I wanted to buy the book or not -- but you know what? I will buy this book, and give it a read. Can I join?
