At present, I’m available on any of those dates. Thank you for setting this up.

Hi @hitchedandhiking

I can’t do the 7th. We are traveling 14, 15 and 16 but I should be able to take a break to join the discussion if you schedule on any of those days.

Thanks!

I hope to make it but will be at a campsite then so it will depend on the signal!

10

Thanks Anna, hopefully you can make it :crossed_fingers:

I’ve got the book on Kindle (currently £0.99!) so will definitely read it in any case!

12

Oh wow, nice find. It’s showing $14.99 for the kindle version for me darnit!

13

I know, I checked prices in different countries, in Spain, it’s even more expensive: 23.50€. I’ve got the audio book, much cheaper but I fall sleep after a few minutes. :rofl:
Next week I’ll be driving to a sit in Portugal so I’ll have plenty of time to listen to it.

Also got it for 99p on Kindle unlimited - what a steal!
