Buddy Read Scheduling Topic - Place Your Buddy Read Requests Here!

I can't do any more buddy reads this month that aren't already at least tentative or pre-scheduled, but I'd be willing to buddy Shadow and Bone, Falling Kingdoms, or Hereafter in December if you're interested.

[Stacia (the 2010 club), groupaholic, YA-MA founder]

Just a reminder that a few of us might be reading in December. No date has been set yet, so if anyone wants to throw out a date that sounds good, go for it.

Also, we are going to be buddy reading starting the 10/11 of this month, then going into afterward, so that's coming up soon.

I know it had been batted around to buddy and re-read later in the month, so if anyone is still interested, let us know so we can set something up.

[Robin]

Thanks Stacia I forgot that the re-read of Angelfall started on Monday 10/11. I'll rearrange my reading schedule for that.

[Jenny]

I'm gonna be reading Angelfall and World After. And The Darkest Minds on whatever date we decide for that. I'd like to read The Fiery Heart too, but release date on that is the same as World After so that would take some juggling.

[Robin]

Sweet Jenny is in for the buddy read of Angelfall

I look forward to stalking you guys through your reads of the Darkest Minds.

[Bailey]

I haven't read but have seen a lot about it so I would be up for that! Also I was planning on re-reading anyways so count me in. :) I saw a life size Peeta at Walmart today.

[Angie]

I don't plan on rereading but I'd love to join in on !

Shadow and Bone!
The spirit of The Darkling compels you.... The spirit of The Darkling compels you....

I totally forgot the Angelfall re-read was going to be today/tomorrow o.O

[Stacia (the 2010 club), groupaholic, YA-MA founder]

I won't be starting until the morning, but I'm looking forward to it.

We'll be discussing in the Penryn & the End of Days series topic in the UF/PNR folder.

That's great. I haven't read Falling Kingdoms or Hereafter yet. When would you like to start? I'm thinking maybe last week of December.

[Stacia (the 2010 club), groupaholic, YA-MA founder]

Any chance we could push it to January? I don't want any random holiday stuff to crop up and get in the way.

Going to have to wait on as well until after the first of the year. Since I've read January's group read pick already, I'll be able to fit in a couple of buddy reads that month.

[Jenny]

I'd be down for Falling Kingdoms as well as The Darkest Minds in January. It's gonna be difficult for me just to fit in my other reads for this month and to make my goal with all the crap going on around here currently.

[Silvia]

Sweet. Falling Kingdoms and The Darkest Minds for January. Sounds good to me. I can wait. :0)

[Brittney]

I'm interested in reading Teardrop

Teardrop by: Lauren Kate

If anyone else wants to read this let me know. I'm thinking maybe for January.

What are you thinking about reading?

[[deleted user]]

Thinking of finally starting in January. Anybody brave enough to try it with me? hehe

[Robin]

Kira if I'm not depressed from Christmas I'm in.

[[deleted user]]

Oh no, you get depressed at Christmas? I'm sorry :(

I'm not planning to start until probably the second week of January, so hopefully that gives you some time to gear up. I would love to have you do it with me.

[Stacia (the 2010 club), groupaholic, YA-MA founder]

Maybe you can nudge Wendy into joining (I wonder if she ever grumbles at me mentioning her for things). I think it was one she wanted to read at some point, since I know she read HTKARS not long ago.

It is an emotional book, for sure.

[Bailey]

I'd be up for it. I'm sure I can get through my huge pile by then!

[Robin]

Lol not normally. But winter sometimes does a trick on my emotions but I should be fine if I have a support group with me for the feels.

Should I read HTKARS first. I thought someone told me I should read God Shaped Hole first.

[[deleted user]]

Yeah, I think you're actually better off not having read HTKARS first. They are both stand-alones, but I think there are some characters in GSH that show up in that book?

I happened to have just read "Darkest Minds". Is there a thread to discuss it?

[Stacia (the 2010 club), groupaholic, YA-MA founder]

I'm actually glad I read HTKaRS first because if I'd read GSH first, I don't think HTKARS would have made as much of an impact on me.

But I think it's okay to read either one first in terms of order, since the books aren't part of a series.

[Stacia (the 2010 club), groupaholic, YA-MA founder]

Kelly, there isn't yet but we can make one since a few people have read the series and it has at least two books out. That way it will also come in handy to use for the buddy read. I can put one up later tonight. Is it fantasy, sci fi, or paranormal?

Good to know, thanks Stacia.

It is a sci-fi dystopia where ever you put those.

Hahaha! Never! I'd never grumble! It's funny because before I saw this I was getting ready to say that I'd be game. I just wrote my little 'why I loved this book' blurb for HTKARS in the Best of 2013 thread and was thinking of starting this one. (Though I may have to take some valium if it's as much of a roller coaster as HTKARS.)

You and me both. I actually tracked down a copy of this on ebay like four months ago, before it was available on kindle, and I read the first page and felt that "amazing-book suction" starting and put it down real fast. I just wasn't ready. I learned my lesson about reading a Tiffanie De Bartolo book on my own with HTKaRS so I'm excited to tackle this one in a group, hehe.

[Gwennie]

I think we'll be coming in here to let loose.

[M. A.]

I just came across this. I just finished the darkest minds and am currently waiting on never fade from my library. I have been looking for one to barrow through nook but no such luck yet lol. Is any one still reading this series or are you all finished?

[Stacia (the 2010 club), groupaholic, YA-MA founder]

We never ended up setting the date. Jenny? Any clue when you want to?

[Jenny]

Any day is fine with me. I don't have any other books scheduled, just a lot of mood reading.

[Stacia (the 2010 club), groupaholic, YA-MA founder]

How would Tuesday the 21st work for you?

[Robin]

I missed it which book are you guys reading?

[Jenny]

The 21st is good. We're reading .

[Stacia (the 2010 club), groupaholic, YA-MA founder]

That would be correct. Anyone is welcome to join along for the read or just to discuss if you've already finished.

[Kdbrand]

I just picked up from the library last night. Hope I can keep up you all in the buddy read!

[Stacia (the 2010 club), groupaholic, YA-MA founder]

No worries. I'm only a couple of chapters in and won't be picking it up again until after I pick my son up from school later. I'll post more in the discussion topic for the book tonight https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

[Robin]

I'm thinking I want to read and it seems like one of those cool creepy wtf kind of books that would be fun to read with a few other people.

If anyone is interested.

[Rachel]

Ooooo, that does look good Robin! I would be interested in a buddy read

[Robin]

Yay Rachael!!! Lets see if we can't get one or two others on board and then pick a start date. But I'm still totally down if it is just the two of us.

[Kdbrand]

Rachel and Robin, I'm interested in doing the buddy read too. I just added this one to my Kindle for $2.99.

[Robin]

Sweet Kdbrand it has been on my feed for the last few days and looks intriguing.

Okay lets wait until tomorrow to see if anyone else wants in and then we will pick a day to start that works for everyone if that sounds good.

[Diane]

I'll read it especially since it is on Kindle for $2.99

[Robin]

Rachel, Kdbrand and Diane. I'm good to start Unravel anytime but when will work the best for you ladies. I was thinking maybe Tuesday or next weekend but I'm really good for whenever.

[Rachel]

After Tuesday would be good for me

[Kdbrand]

I can do Wednesday or later in the week works for me too. Tuesdays are my busiest day of the week, but I could probably still get through a couple of chapters.

[Diane]

Next weekend works best for me but don't wait on my concern.

[Robin]

I'm fine with next weekend Diane if that works for everyone else.
