Scott Lynch Read A Long Bryce Send a noteboard - 06/02/2012 06:51:55 AM
From my blog:

If you're a fan of Scott Lynch, then you (like so many of us) have been loyally waiting since 2007 for The Republic of Thieves, book 3 in the Gentlemen Bastards Sequence. If you've never read Scott's books before, then now is the time (and you're in for a treat!). As a lead up to one of the most anticipated titles of 2012, a number of blogs are going to be doing a massive Readalong of the first and second books. So, go to your local library, or hop on Amazon, B&N, Indiebound, etc. and get yourself a copy of The Lies of Locke Lamora.

AGE APPROPRIATENESS NOTE: The Lies of Locke Lamora contains violence, foul language, and just a dab of sex. If the following dialogue offends you to the point that you would not be able to continue, then this book is NOT for you.

From The Lies of Locke Lamora, pg. 189

"Bugger me bloody with a boathook," Chains said when they finished. "I don't recall telling you that your leash was slipped enough for fucking street theater, Locke."

Where do I sign up?

Straight to the point. I like you, reader. To sign up, I'm asking that you drop a quick email to myawfulreviews *AT* gmail *DOT* com and ask to be added to the mailing list. This will be the easiest way for me to organize everything. I know, it's an extra step, but you've already got a web browser open, so I don't feel like I'm asking that much.


What Can I Do to Help?

Loving reader, you really are a sweetheart. I'm glad you asked that. If you're still living under a rock, then not much. However, if you've got Facebook, Twitter, Google+ or even your own blog, then now's the time to link to this article and get people excited. If you know any authors in the science fiction or fantasy genre that would like to get involved or are fans of Scott's work, let them know as well. We want to have a lot of fun with this, and that means getting a lot of people involved. I won't hesitate to say that my blog is the smallest of all the blogs involved, but I'm hoping to work just that much harder to get others to join.

Speaking of joining, if you have your own blog and want to get in on the action, feel free to post your own thoughts, commentary and whatnot and link to our discussions. And as always, remember to have your pets spayed or neutered, and to wash behind your ears.
