As I'm typing, it is September 30 and the readalong of Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman begins tomorrow! I'm excited because I've been eyeing the book for weeks. Here are the details:
- The readalong will run for the entire month of October, so if you're unable to start the book immediately, feel free to join in later in the month.
- The hashtag for the Neverwhere readalong is #NeverwhereRAL. Please use this hashtag when discussing the book on Twitter or any other social media (I only use Twitter and Facebook, myself).
- I'm going to turn this into a sticky post and leave it at the top of my blog so that if you don't use social media you can discuss in the comment section of this post.
- I've not previously read Neverwhere so I don't know what, if anything, might be a spoiler but please do consider the potential for ruining the reading when you discuss, especially in the comment section, here, as it will be staying for the entire month.
- Please note that I moderate all comments and we are anticipating some major internet disruption during October, so it may take several days for your post to show up.
- Due to the expected interruption of service, there may also be a lack of other posts; I can't say because our internet provider has not specified the dates of expected outage. Please page down if you're a regular reader to check for new posts.
- If you have access to Twitter, please check in on October 15 to discuss progress. Otherwise, feel free to chat about it anytime and just check the hashtag for updates from other readers.
- Have fun!!!

Yay! I am soo excited. :) What are we supposed to read for the first week?
ReplyDeleteI was going with a "read at your own pace" thought process but I'm asking friends who have done a lot of readalongs and will update if I feel like a change needs to be made. Thanks for asking, Krista!
DeleteOK, updated to reflect a halfway-point discussion! :)
DeleteYessssss!
ReplyDeleteI like your enthusiasm, Tina! :)
DeleteHave fun!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jenny! Wish you were joining us!
DeleteI just listened to this in September! It was as wonderful as I remembered from reading it years ago. You are going to love the London as a character.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure I will! Glad you to know you loved it enough to listen all over again!

ReplyDeleteThe official post!
Yay! Thanks for sharing, Tina!
DeleteI am finished on page 181, cause I had to read the last page of the chapter. lol I love the world Neil Gaiman is building. And the characters of Mr. Vandemar and Mr Croup both frighten me and entertain me. They are so odd. I am pulled along cause I must find out if Door will finish her quest. :) And all I have to say in closing is I love the floating market scene. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a good way to describe Vandemar and Croup. They're both frightening and entertaining (and definitely bizarre). I feel the same way. I really want to finish the book, at this point, to see what happens. Thanks for checking in, Krista!
