Hey Peeps!

So I got lucky enough to find this awesome read along (thank you Heidi over at Rainy Day Ramblings http://www.rainydayramblings.typepad.com) and it sounded so fun that I signed up on the spot! I have never been part of a read along before so I am anxious to join in and meet some great bloggers and discuss a great read.

So what is a read along you ask?? Well let me tell ya. (yes, I aim to serve) I am basically going to copy and paste a portion of the rules and schedule from the blog that I signed up at. All credit for the following material goes to Felicia over at Geeky Blogger’s Book Blog. Which is a blog full of awesome and I suggest you go over there STAT!!

Here is the web address where you can find all the information about this read along and sign up – which you totally should and we can do it together! You can also grab one of two badges to display on your blog like the one I have over there on the right ———>  http://www.geekybloggersbookblog.com/2012/02/hounded-read-long-announcement-post.html

So here’s some info from Geeky Blogger’s Book Blog:

“In case you haven’t heard there is a group of kick ass chicks doing a Hounded Read-a-Long! Amanda of On a Book Bender, Ash of Smash Attack Reads!, Jen of In the Closet With a Bibliophile, Missie of The Unread Reader, and I would love for you to join us for the fun and laughter that is sure to happen!
Announcing the Kiss Me, I’m Irish read-along! This read-along is to celebrate the upcoming release of Tricked, the fourth book in the Iron Druid Chronicles, which comes out April 24th 2012! To prepare, we are reading/re-reading the series, starting with book one, HOUNDED by Kevin Hearne, and we’d like you to join us! 
Discussion Schedule:
March 02nd: Chapters 1-5 hosted by Geeky Blogger’s Book Blog
March 09th: Chapters 6-10 hosted by On a Book Bender
March 16th: Chapters 11-15 hosted by Smash Attack Reads!
March 23rd: Chapters 16-20 hosted by In the Closet With a Bibliophile

PS:  If you have any questions for Kevin, Atticus, or Oberon post them in the comments!  Kevin has agreed to answer you pressing questions: aka where do we get an Oberon? Anytime you think of one leave it during the read-a-long–we will gather them up and send them along to Kevin!”

 
Sounds pretty awesome right?? There are prize packs for those that participate every week (you could win one of 3 prizes) and the first set of questions for chapters 1-5 are up on the blog so you can check them out and get to reading the book!
 
What book are we going to be reading?

Here is a little info:

The first in an original, back-to-back three-book series about Atticus O’Sullivan, last of the Druids. Celtic mythology and an ancient Druid with a modern attitude mix it up in the Arizona desert in this witty new fantasy series.–Kelly Meding, author of “Three Days to Dead.” Original.
 
So that’s the read along and every week in March I will be posting the chapter discussion questions and my answers! I hope you will stop by and leave a comment or better yet – join in!
