Flight of the Heron read-along?

[regshoe]

There's a chill in the air, the days are getting shorter and I feel like reading Flight of the Heron again. The Raffles read-along that's been running this year has been great fun (thanks wolfiesulkingintheirtent!)—I've really enjoyed the opportunity to read the stories slowly in a group and discuss them in depth, and I feel like I appreciate them much better—and so I've had the idea of arranging something similar for FotH. We'd read probably two chapters of the book a week; I would do a post on here with my thoughts on the week's chapters, and then we could discuss them in comments.

What does everyone think? Is this something you—whether you're already a Flight of the Heron fan or want to read it for the first time—might be interested in taking part in?

On a related note, garonne has recently posted an ebook of The Wounded Name, and luzula an audiobook of White Cockades by Edward Prime-Stevenson. I'm delighted to see more Broster books and other Jacobite slashiness made more accessible, and both are highly recommended, of course. :D (I plan to make an ebook of White Cockades as well at some point, possibly when I've finished Imre).

Be very happy to join in.

I would totally do it, since it would get me to FINISH the book.

[garonne]

I love this idea!

[philomytha]

I'd probably join in the discussion!

[hedgebird]

I'd be interested.

[lilliburlero]

I just re-read it, but I would definitely join in.

[luzula]

I would also participate. Great idea! : )

I had to send the book back through interlibrary loan, but I did JUST read it so I'd probably join in the discussion.

And if you do eventually make an ebook of White Cockades I'd love to read that too. And will probably also read Imre eventually.

I'd like to join the fun! (My upcoming months are probably going to be stressful, but maybe the read-along can help me stay grounded.) I'm subscribing you for that purpose & nice to meet you. :D

[regshoe]

Welcome! :) Aww, I hope the book provides some escape from the stressful stuff.

[dr_zook]

Thank you! :D

I'd like to re-phrase my previous comment, for it sounded maybe a bit austere: I'm very glad to make your acquaintance, and you're very cordially welcomed to 'my circle'. I'm always delighted about meeting literate people with interests bordering on obsessions. :D

[regshoe]

No worries, and it's nice to meet you too! I don't know about 'bordering on', but I hope you like the book nerdery in here and especially Flight of the Heron :D
