Hiya, sorry I've been smothered and away from the reading a bit...that and I had to return my checked out copy (I'm so cheap :) ). I'm picking it up again Wed., so I'll catch up and can do another chapter.

That would be great, W.B. I was about to take Ch9, but if it would be easier for you to do that one, it's fine with me.

Love your new av, btw.

Thanks! Actually, why don't I take ch. 10, so I can be sure I'll be all caught up by then?

Yeah, sorry I've been absent of late. Really busy, and somebody has my library's copy of the book checked out.

Hi, guys. :) I updated the schedule list.

I wanted Chapter 9 because of the new people we meet in it. Plus getting to know Ted better. So I'll pause for Ch 9 in the middle of THE ONE TREE.

Syl, are you in the middle of the ocean? No corner bookstores, I guess. :roll: I hope you get your chance to grab it soon.

I have a smiley of a little person reading, but this board won't take it. It would be a nice addition. 8)

Yeah, that's my Unfortunate Horse with Big Donkey Ears. Now you mention, it is kinda Quixotic. I like that. :D

Chapter 10 is great, have fun with 9, Joy!

Heh, sometimes I am, but not currently. Have no worries; I'll locate a copy before my chapters. I'm usually no good with responses to dissections, anyway. :mrgreen:

Chapter 10 is posted -- thanks, W.B.!

Does someone want Chapter 11? I expect to have more time than usual next week, so I thought I'd take it unless someone else wants that one.

I have finally managed to get my hands on my copy of the books, so I can help out with the group read.

If you want to I can do chapter 11, but I probably will not have time until the weekend and if that is too late I can always do another chapter later.

Great, Ryzel. :) We'll be glad to have you contributing. There's half a book to go. I just read Chapters 11 & 12, so I'll do both of those. Do you want me to sign you up for 13?

Like magic. :) There's more where that came from. We're all doing multiples, and W.B. just had to turn his library book in.

OK. I'm working on chapters 11 and 12 now. Looks like we'll have 12 & 13 ready to simply post them on the site on the scheduled dates. :)
