For those that didn't know, this was originally a group for the books of M.M. Kaye called Beyond the Far Pavillions. The group had died so I had the idea of repurposing it & we changed the name to Retro Reads.

I have just acquired a kindle of Death in Kashmir. Tadiana (who was a moderator here) thought this was the best of the Death In... books.

This title has had a group read here - but back in 2017. Would anyone else be interested in a group or buddy read of this title? I was thinking April. Feb/March the other group I moderate has a Book Pool & I'm doing a course for the Museum that finishes in March, so I'm a bit busy until then.

If anyone else has a book that they would like to lead a read for that was first published between 1900 & 1980 you can suggest it here! :)

I am a big fan of M.M. Kaye and have a number of old hardback copies of her books including all the Death In... books. I would like to do a group/buddy read in April.

My library has a copy, I’d be in.

Awesome, both of you!

I'll be thinking a start time of around the 5th of April.

Sounds good!

I'll be there too. I last read this when it was a group read (2017). I'll be happy to revisit it.
(GR ate my previous comment, sigh...)

The more the merrier! :)

I'm in. I haven't read any of the Death in series so this is a treat. My library doesn't have it but I just found a cheap copy. Yay!

I can get it through my library so I think I want to participate. Is April when it's going to happen for sure or is that not decided yet?

I think there is an increased energy when many of those reading are all doing it the same time so I'd like to schedule it.

It looks very good!

Excellent the more the merrier.

Yes, starting date of the 5th of April. :)

& just a reminder that we are starting this read on the 5th - American time. :)

I misread the start date for reading this so I read it last week!!! Re read it. I’ll look forward to the discussion.

Cool - I'm looking forward to it - reading short stories atm to make sure I'm ready to start on time!

I was thinking it was April 15th for some reason so I haven't started yet. I have a hardback from my library and the print is tiny!

ETA: what a "first world problem" lol

I'll be starting it on April 5th.

I picked up a copy at library yesterday so I am ready to start- haven’t read any of her Murder In�� books so am looking forward to this!

& the threads are up. I have done it as two threads - here is the link to the no spoilers one!

I just got the book. There was a wait list at the library!

Good to see you, Mir!
