Readthrough correction:

[flourish]

The last readthrough was supposed to be The Warrior's Apprentice AND "The Mountains of Mourning," but I'm forgetful and we only talked about The Warrior's Apprentice, and I said that next time we were only going to talk about "The Mountains of Mourning."

Whoops!

So, to get us back on track, let's do "The Mountains of Mourning" AND The Vor Game on July 1, how's that? Can people do both?

ETA: It's been pointed out that MoM is much closer thematically to The Warrior's Apprentice than Vor Game, so let's do an emergency discussion about just MoM on June 21 (that's in two days). Then we can do Vor Game as scheduled on July 1. :)

And then Keep Vewwy Quiet about MoM when we get to Borders of Infinity? ;)

WAH NOTHING MAKES SENSE ANYMORE

I know LMB meant well when she combined the stories like she did, but joeez, it makes it hard to hold a readthrough!

(The answer is, of course, that the readthrough is an attempt at chronological order, with the exception of Falling Free which doesn't really make sense when read in chronological order.)

*is not sniggering. at all.*

We did touch a little on MoM already when discussing TWA, and it is only a novella. Can't we do a quick emergency MoM discussion in between and then move on to the Vor Game as scheduled? Thematically, I think MoM is much closer to Barrayar and TWA than Vor Game (which is very much Gregor's story, too, but I'm incredibly biased about Gregor anyway).

Yeah, I think you're right about it being much closer to Barrayar and TWA than Vor Game.

Emergency discussion it is! On... June 21, which gives people a couple days to brush up, and leaves time for people to do Vor Game. *goes to edit post to talk about that*

"let's do an emergency discussion about just MoM on July 21 (that's in two days)."

Umn, similarity in month names.

I have that book somewhere...

MoM is available as a free download from Baen.

Er, me for the FAIL.

[tel]

Were you going to start these discussions?

[flourish]

Er... yes? If I had remembered?

*blush*

*goes to do so*
