The Summer Tree, Guy Gavriel Kay

GGK Book Club: THE SUMMER TREE, ch 5-8

Guys, I have totally not re-read the next four chapters. #embarrassed to death However, just because I haven’t re-read them lately is no reason for other people to have to wait on discussing them, so I’m going to open up the comments (ideally on the mizkit.com site) for discussion for those of you who ARE keeping up.

Seriously, guys, I’m not that much of an anti-spoiler maven, but…

The GGK Project: THE SUMMER TREE

Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines! The great Guy Gavriel Kay (Re-)Reading Project begins! We’ll be reading a book a month, in order of publication, throughout the year. Our first book, THE SUMMER TREE, has 16 chapters, so we’ll be breaking that into an expectation of reading 4 chapters a week in January. I’ll be posting a discussion blog every Tuesday so we can talk about the books and to offer a deadline for people to read to. I’m very much looking forward to this. I’ve only re-read 4 of…

2014 Thinks To Do

Okay, so big plans for 2014 include: – rewatching the Ron Perlman/Linda Hamilton Beauty and the Beast as part of a year-long thing with Stephen Aryan and Liz de Jager.
