He&#8217;s going to read the entire <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youngwizards.com\" target=\"_blank\">Young Wizards series<\/a> in its <a href=\"http:\/\/ebooksdirect.co\/pages\/coming-soon-young-wizards-new-millennium-revised-editions\" target=\"_blank\">New Millennium editions<\/a> &#8212; including the interstitial book <em><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/IntErrant\" target=\"_blank\">Interim Errantry<\/a><\/em> and the newest YW novel, <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/1nLIm2J\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Games Wizards Play<\/em><\/a> &#8212; and report back on what he finds, book by book, via online reviews and video, until he&#8217;s done.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s a <em>lot<\/em> of words and a lot of territory to cover, and it&#8217;s going to be a real treat to watch it unfold. I look forward to rediscovering things about the world I&#8217;ve been building for the last few decades that I&#8217;ve probably completely forgotten&#8230; as well as finding out some things I didn&#8217;t know.<\/p>\n<p>It falls to me now to look for ways to help make the Mark Reads community feel welcome in my universe. One way we&#8217;ll be doing this is described in <a href=\"http:\/\/markreads.net\/reviews\/2016\/03\/mark-reads-young-wizards-starts-in-one-week\/#more-3747\" target=\"_blank\">Mark&#8217;s introductory post here. <\/a><\/p>\n<p>Another way is to invite interested Mark Reads readers and co-readers onto the YW universe&#8217;s own online turf and give them a place to discuss what&#8217;s going on as the reading process unfolds. Understanding that Mark&#8217;s own discussion areas are spoiler-free, we&#8217;ve set aside a space at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youngwizards.com\/forums\/forums.php\" target=\"_blank\">Young Wizards discussion forums<\/a> that&#8217;s\u00a0 specifically intended <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youngwizards.com\/forums\/forumdisplay.php?122-Mark-Reads-Young-Wizards-SPOILER-Discussions\" target=\"_blank\">for Mark Reads community members<\/a>. This is a spoiler-friendly space where discoveries can be discussed in as much detail as the community desires. (One note in advance: to keep the spammers at bay, our registration process asks new\/prospective Forum members a challenge question. The answer to this question is the initials of the newest YW novel. Just check the first paragraph of this post for the answer.)<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m really looking forward to the events of the coming months, and to sharing the discoveries that Mark and his community will make.<\/p>\n<p>So welcome, cousins! Settle in and make yourselves comfortable. This is going to be a terrific ride.
