ReplyDeleteI'm not going to sign up because I really can't afford to try to wedge anything else into my reading schedule unless it's for pure have-to-read-it-ness, but I WILL be keeping an eye out for reviews, because some I'm curious about. And maybe I'll try to read along with the group on one or two... (I've got my eye on that Octavia Butler. Her book Kindred is one of my faves)
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool idea! I won't sign up - I already read for the 2 book groups I have at the library, plus all the stuff I read in addition. But I like the focus of this one! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I haven't read any of these books. I need to think about signing up!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like an interesting set of books. It will good to hear what you think about them.
ReplyDeleteOMG, Doomsday Book is so marvelous -- gah, definitely a desert island favorite.
ReplyDeleteYeah, Doomsday Book sounds terrific; I LOVE sci-fi, especially in anthology form.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your selections, Vii! They all look and sound like good reads :D
Great books! *_* I can't wait to read your reviews!*_*
