Some of us were interested in doing a group read of the witch books. They would include:

Equal Rites
Wryd Sisters
Witches Abroad
Lords and Ladies (my personal fav)
Masquerade
Carpe Jungium
Shepherds Crown (his final book)

we read the death books every other month but there are more of them here/7 If we do this should we choose 6? Or read monthly? or remove one?

I would like to read all of the Tiffany Aching books or none, personally. I also read The Shepherd's Crown recently enough I don't feel ready for a re-read. My $0.02

so we have seven books to read this year. If we read one every other month that will leave Shepards Crown. Should we continue that on Jan 25? or drop one of the titles?

ronincats: Are you counting The Sea and the Little Fishes as the 7th? FWIW, I always consider the Tiffany Aching books as part of the Witches arc of stories, and that would put us right at 12.

cindydavid4 gosh I dont know that one;excellent question. I have read the others. but looking at the synopsis of yours, it looks like it could be perfect. If we include that one, plus the other Aching books, does that mean we'll be doing 1 per month? I wonder if every other month would be easier to finish the book, and we can always continue into 2025...and that would help olrin participate

Or we do all the Aching novels one year and the witches books another?

or do two challeges at the same time?

or any other ideas?

It is an embarassment of riches, isn't it?

just realized that the sea and the little fishes is a short story which could be easily included with one of the others. its in the anthology the legends what do you think?
