Orphan's Tales Live Rides Again: A Poll

It has been about a week since we finished the not-an-audiobook-definitely-a-play reading series of The Orphan's Tales: In the Night Garden, and I've been thinking about how to continue with the second book.

I said I would do a reading every night until lockdown ends, but I just...didn't expect "lockdown ends" to be such a moving target, with every state careening at a different pace, and no one sure if we're going right back inside in two weeks or not.

I want to continue with the second book, not just because lockdown IS NOT ACTUALLY OVER, AMERICA, but because it was a very special experience, and kept me sane, and kept me showered, and I miss all of you. And just as there isn't and probably never will be an audiobook of the first Orphan's Tales, same holds for In the Cities of Coin and Spice, and I don't wanna leave you all hanging!

So what I've decided to do is change it to a weekly, but longer, reading. We really were only covering about 10 pages or so a night, with chatting and questions and such, and though Instagram Live cuts you off at an hour, I think we can easily cover 20 pages per reading without coming near that limit. 

Here's where you come in! What night should be Orphan's Tales night? And is the 8:30 timeslot good to go on with or should it be earlier or later? (I know it's pretty singularly unworkable for Europe, but GMT -5 is a tough time gap to bridge, and that's what the YouTube archive is for.)

Lastly, I know some folks expressed that they'd like me to not do it on Instagram Live. Unfortunately, I can't stream live from my phone until I hit 1000 subscribers on YouTube, which is SOME BULLSHIT, I might add, I have no desire to use Facebook Live, and those are pretty much the options. Instagram Live turned out to be extremely easy to use, and their latest update fixed the problems I was having before, so I'm gonna stick with that for now. I'd rather just do it on YT! But they lock down everything to subscriber count, and I'm not there yet.)

So! Allons-y!

I'm opening up this poll to the public and linking it on my social media, so please indicate your preferences so I have an idea what works best for all.

Plus...I couldn't NOT read the City of Marrow parts right now. It's too...appropriate.
