Trouble with that iammo is I'll probably not be able to start for a couple of weeks then I'll down it in one.
Surely we can discuss the book during October while reading the next one.

That's usually the way I read OB. If I leave something half way through it tends to get left.

Yes sounds like a good plan, i'm not sure my tiny brain will be able to remember the previous book if i've started another one though...

Perhaps specifying a finishing date of September 30th, rather than a starting date of September 1st would be the way to do it.

You will lammo: if you write something as soon as you finish the first book then later other people's comments will trigger your memory. Unless they are amazingly rubbish communicators of course. And I can't imagine there is anyone on Fetch who falls into THAT category...

Makes sense to start the discussions on a set date, I.e. 1st of the month. You can make comments beforehand, but no spoilers.

Previous chooser nominates next person, decision to be made at least 7 days before end of month to enable sourcing of tome.

I've stuck the basic instructions in the thread header - I'll post it on FB now, and see if we get some more takers.
