1. Yes, I definitely think that amount was perfect, more is too much and as you know it's hard to keep our numbers steady. So I think the less pressure we have to move onto the next book, the better. 2. I think it works well both ways, I don't know about the rest of you, but I have a hard time coming up with questions sometimes. 3. I think that works well. I will say if you are planning on doing 'Angels' it may need about six weeks, rather than a month as it's going to fall somewhere in the 700 page range. It's slightly smaller than 'Mermaid' but not by much. -- Shamrocks & Stones

I think 6 weeks is a fair amount of time. If we have one or two at that "length" then have others that are shorter, we should be okay. (NT) -- Lil, 11:22:38 12/28/11 Wed
- I was really (really!!) hoping to do two Niccolo books this year, so maybe three longer discussions could be considered????? (NT) -- Denise, 11:32:49 12/28/11 Wed
  - BTW- I want to be clear that there is no expectation on my part of people here wanting to discuss my new book. I know some would like to, but if it doesn't get the needed votes etc. to be one of the picks then I am fine with that. (NT) -- celtgirl, 12:11:18 12/28/11 Wed
    - Don't be ridiculous *g* - of course we'll want to discuss 'Angels'! (NT) -- Denise, 16:59:50 12/28/11 Wed
    - I agree with Denise - its a given! Now its just trying find the right time to fit it in the year. Want to make sure everyone has a copy before we get started. :-) (NT) -- Lil, 18:54:44 12/28/11 Wed
    - Of course we will do Angels!!!! Can't wait! (NT) -- PeggyB, 22:18:35 12/28/11 Wed
  - I understand the desire to do two Niccolo books, but from a coordinators POV it's a lot to do. Honestly having people commit to chapters and discussion for 6 weeks is a lot. (NT) -- Lil, 14:05:58 12/28/11 Wed
    - I want to clarify that if we do one Niccolo book and Angels that would be acceptable, but throwing a third long book that would require the detail DD requires would be asking a lot of our small group. (NT) -- Lil, 14:25:02 12/28/11 Wed
      - I can see your point, it was just me being selfish and wanting the help of the group to muddle through DD's detailed writing! I should convince myself to read the books on my own to the end, and then enjoy the discussions here when they happen. That's what I did with Lymond, I can do it again! (NT) -- Denise, 17:02:36 12/28/11 Wed
        I did the same with Lymond, but I do value the input of this group when it comes to the nuances of DD. I know I miss a lot! :-) And btw, not selfish at all. :-) (NT) -- Lil, 18:53:11 12/28/11 Wed
