So, so, so... This is happening. If you're in an area affected by COVID-19 and are at home practicing social distancing, first off, thank you for doing your part to flatten the curve; however don't forget that you can still connect with your internet friends.
Join me for a chat in the Conspiracy Room for not only this Sunday, March 22nd, but every weekend till things start to get back to normal for us reprobates in affected areas. We can mad speculate about RoT, share ideas for celebrating the final book's release, and get recommendations for books and audiobooks to try.
5pm Pacific Time
6pm Mountain Time
7pm Central Time
8pm Eastern Time
The password for the chat room is HERE. You must be a member of Sounis to access chatzy. If you live in a different time zone, check out the world clock. I'll be posting reminders on Sundays late morning to early afternoon. If you're worried you'll forget, you can set up your LJ account to email you when a post tagged "chat" goes up on the blog. Comment if you need instructions on how to do so.
If Sundays don't work for you, let me know which day of the week would, and I might be able to set up a few chats on an alternative day of the week as well.
Some of you have also been asking about a community re-read, and I am definitely planning one. I've just been hesitant to set up official dates due to the dubious release date. I'm planning to do so fairly soon, though the dates will be subject to change. I don't know if Harper Collins will delay the book if MWT is not able to have a book tour this summer/fall due to the outbreak, but I'm sure that is something that cannot be decided for a few more months.
Stay safe out there, reprobates. I love you all. *big hugs*
