Are you prepared to run it? Yes/No
Suggested books, if you have them already:


What does it mean to run the theme?

1. At least one month in advance, you'll let everyone know about the theme and your suggested reading for it. You need to suggest at least 3 works of fiction.
2. On the first of the month, you will post a welcome/introduction/kickoff for the theme.
3. Throughout the month, you'll take an active part in discussion of the theme.

You do not have to be an expert on the theme to run it. You just need to have an interest in it.

Hi there,

Just putting my oar in :-)

I would contest that Jack Whyte is 'solidly Roman' - he's more fantasy. He makes seemingly historical stuff up, so fits into the Arthurian fantasies quite neatly.

I also got bored with him after a couple of books :-)

I think I read a couple of the more Roman ones, actually, and it's not my period of obsession. I also got bored after a couple books.
