top of your TBR (buddy read suggestions)

[Justin]

Yes. Which one do you want to do first?

[Addy]

You wanna do Hurt?

[Justin]

Sure. I am going to try to catch up on the mountain tonight but I may switch over and start it instead. Otherwise I will start tomorrow. I am enjoying the mountain but I am just not in the mood for horror right now even if it is a good one.

[Addy]

I love my horror, but its nice to switch it up. I'm even looking at SciFi titles and I usually despise SciFi...lol.

[Addy]

I'll start and make a thread tomorrow. I am very curious about this one and hope I won't be disappointed.

[Justin]

I'm going to list the rest of the buddy reads we had discussed in case any one else wants to join. If I just list them now it will give every one a little notice.

Drowning Instinct

Body Rides

Flawed

Monster Lake

I don't remember the name of the other one you suggested.

I have never liked sci fi either but I have considered giving one a try as well.

[Justin]

The Kingdom of Childhood

[Justin]

Am I forgetting any?

[Addy]

Nope. Think you got 'em.

[Justin]

Hyperion and Necroscope where both mentioned, I don't want to forget about them so I am putting them here. Also hoping more people will want to join.

[Andy]

Good idea, Justin. We talked about Buddy reading the few sleepers. I am interested in and from Addy's list.

[Justin]

I missed addys, probably because they are the only ones not linked I will have to go back and check them

[Addy]

I will buddy read all of those. Not sure about Hyperion. Its prob pricey. I will have to check it out.

[Andy]

It's a pretty common book so keep an eye out at used book stores.

[Addy]

I found it, so I can def read it now:)

[Justin]

It's not horror but me and addy are starting Some Are Sicker Than Others Don if anyone wants to join us

[Addy]

Anyone be interested in reading the shining with me?

[Scott]

I promised my son I would read A Game of Thrones in February because he is in to it. I also plan on reading The Abominable since I already purchased it. Anyone want to buddy read either of those in February?

[Addy]

Are you reading the first in the series? I would read both, but id have to see if I could get a copy of AGOT.

[Scott]

Yes, the first in the series. I'm assuming I can get it on kindle loan from the library. He was able to get one of the later ones on kindle from the library.

[Addy]

Ok. I can see if I can borrow it. Which do u want to read first?

[Scott]

It will be A Game of Thrones. On Feb 1 my son will be asking if I have started it yet ;)

[Addy]

Should I request it now? I don't know if I'll get it right away.

[Addy]

Hey Scott, I got Game of Thrones and it looks really good. Do u want to start a thread on this? Just let me know and I'll set one up.

[Andy]

So many great books, so little time! Game of Thrones and The Shining (reread in preparation for Doctor Sleep) are both on the tip top of my tbr pile.

Can I join GoT? Addie, wanna also read the Shining?

I'm right at the point where The Passage changes tracks, so I'm thinking of putting it down for something easier until I have more time.

[Addy]

Awesome Andy! Course u can join. I'll set up a thread tonight. And The Shining! Yay! Was hoping someone would join me. Gary wants to read Dr Sleep too, so I'm trying to read Shining first. You can join us on that one too. I'll set up a thread for that as well. Was gonna start on Monday. That good for you?

[Andy]

Monday is perfect. Have you read the Shining before. I did in 6th grade (32 now), so I'm really looking forward to a trip down memory lane. I wonder how much went over my head as a kid?

[Addy]

I've never read much of king. Don't know why because I do like him. Heck, I lived in Maine for a long time...lol, should have been required. This is only my second book from him. I barely remember the movie, so this should be good.

[Andy]

Wow, I'll be excited to hear what you think. What was the other book you read?

[Justin]

I'm going to be starting Fantastic Orgy soon if anyone wants to join.

[Addy]

The other book I read was Under the Dome and Mile 81, but that was a short. Loved them both! Can't wait for the Dome series to start again.

[Kate]

If I could get a loan I could. Have requested it on Lendle and BookLending.

[Andy]

I've yet to read Apeshit, so I think I'll start there for Mellick.

[Justin]

Andy, don't. Apeshit sucks, I hear he originally wrote it as a movie script and then converted it to novel but he did a terrible job and it is horribly written to the point I couldn't read it. Start with cannibals of candyland.

[Addy]

Yes! I vouch for that suggestion Andy.

[Justin]

I just got a print copy of cannibals of candyland. It is one of those books that was so good I had to put a copy on my bookshelf as well as my kindle.

[Addy]

Nice Justin! I could see myself reading it again. It was pretty awesome!

[Justin]

i am already trying to figure out when i am going to be able to do a reread of it. i have so much going on, between group reads, buddy reads, and challenges. i may need to just take a month off and do nothing but personal reads. maybe in may for the month of my birthday.

[Scott]

Thanks for setting up the thread Addy. I was out on a hike with the boy scouts.

[Andy]

Thanks for the rec guys.

[Addy]

Anyone care to read a short novella, The Humans Under the Bed? Its only 63 pages.

[Addy]

Would anyone be interested in reading Dagon by Fred Chappell? I'm gonna take this one slow like a couple of chapters a day.

[Andy]

No thanks, I'm full...

[Kate]

I don't have either of those, Addy. Sorry.

[Addy]

That's ok. Dagon is expensive as an eBook. I'm still waiting for it to arrive.

[Justin]

I would do humans under the bed if I had it. I thought I had strange fucking stories which contains that one but I guess not.

[Scott]

I don't have either.

[Scott]

Anyone still in the Darkfuse book club? I could buddy read one of those short stories.

[Justin]

No my membership is up sorry
