Next weekend if fine with me. Feeling excited!
Sweet next weekend it is ladies :) I love buddy reads.
I'm in! I just bought that one. Just tell me when :)
Okay ladies Kira, Kdbrand, Rachel and Diane. The weekend is approaching. Should we start Unravel on Fri, Sat or Sun.
I'll be ready to go on Friday, I got the book on Kindle yesterday so I am ready :)
Sounds good to me! Do you plan to discuss here or start a thread somewhere else?
Friday sounds great. I thought we could just use the thread beneath this one on the list in the buddy reads section. Unless you guys want to talk about it somewhere else.https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
sounds good. Are we reading at our own pace or do you want to set a pace to read and discuss (x amount of pages or chapters per day )
I'll do either. I solemnly swear that I will remember this isn't a race but a buddy read and read it over 3-4 days instead of one sitting ;)
I'm okay with either one. Missouri is supposed to have lousy weather this weekend, so I'll be home a lot.
I only had time for the first two chapters today but so far our narrator seems completely and totally nuts of some kind.I haven't read many books with an unreliable narrator to compare it to but so far it seems interesting.
Yeah I'm barely into it too and so far it's intriguing but unsettling. Her encounter with Lachlan in the beginning... I already have a slight mistrust for hospitals and a paranoia that they can just keep anyone they think is crazy, so this book probably isn't going to help my conspiracy theories haha
haha totally. Already he gives off an untrustworthy vibe of sorts. color me intrigued though.
I think they might have moved the discussion over here already? https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
Ah yes, they did! Thanks, Stacia, sorry for jabbering on the wrong thread :)
No worries. I just figured that it might get confusing if you all were having two separate conversations. :)
Not sure if anyone's interested in reading and discussing the month's group read together, but I'm going to start Etiquette & Espionage on Wednesday the 12th and figured I'd see if anyone was up for starting it then. I'd probably split it up into a 3 or 4 day read and post updates in the group read topic, instead of just reading it solo and sharing my thoughts at the end. I thought it might be more fun if someone else was interested in reading along and discussing as the book unfolded instead of after it was finished.
I'm thinking of reading
...the size of the book is a bit daunting to me, but I am hoping that reading it with someone would make it more fun. Let me know if interested.
If you don't get any takers for right now, I would be interested in buddying it in May or June. I'd hoped to read it closer to the pub date of book 2.
June would work for me Stacia and Robin. Especially since I think the sequel releases in August.
Sounds good. :) We might want to wait and pick a date closer to June, just so people don't have plans pop up and need to rearrange.
Cristal, I actually just picked that book up a couple of days ago. I'd be down to read it in June as well.
Oh really? Great Brittney :)
I am definitely a little late in the game. A friend on here recommended it...until then I hadn't heard anything about it.
I was waiting for a buddy read of Mistborn: The Final Empire with a few people here this month but it was put on the back burner.I'm starting the series the first week in May if anyone feels like joining in.
Robin I'm down to start that week!
It is a good series- enjoy. For me it was a bit slow in the beginning due to world building but once I got into it it was good and in my opinion unique.
most good fantasies are it just takes awhile to learn a new world. yay it's me and Athena for sure. maybe Ash will be interested too.
Me too. I met Brandon Sanderson yesterday and sat in 2 panels with him on it. He was amazingly nice during the signing. He signed my WoR with Stormfather! So excited that I almost forgot to have my picture taken with him. I'll post pictures sometime this week.
My husband is diligently going thru the photos. When he deems them acceptable I'll post with the inscriptions on the books he signed for me.
Ah! I'm jealous and happy for you! I can live through you!
OMG don't kill me Robin!!!! But so cool you met Sanderson!I'm going to be reading
and
within the week, I don't know how I'd feel towards fantasy after finishing those two.But I'm going to say a tentative yes on first week of May :D

and within the week, I don't know..."No pressure Ash, I just remember you saying you wanted to read them, if it works out great! Froi and Quintana I loved since they are not your typical characters they are both so flawed but I absolutely loved their stories.
For anyone interested Athena and I (and possibly Ash if she has time) are starting Mistborn: The Final Empire on Monday May 5th if anyone else want to join in.
I already re-read Mistborn this year, but if at some point you decide to do The Alloy of Law or Steelheart let me know!
Alexa wrote: "I already re-read Mistborn this year, but if at some point you decide to do The Alloy of Law or Steelheart let me know!"I will read Allow of Law right after I finish the Mistborn trilogy but I won't do Steelheart again until right before firelight.

I'll be reading Steelheart before Firelight comes out. I'm doing a buddy read with Shandra and Annette.
Then let me know when you are reading those and I'll join! Those are the only books I'm missing from Sanderson at the moment and I'd love to have someone to discuss them with.
I've been eyeing
for a while. Anyone interested in a buddy read?
@Komal I want to read this too! Before I can say yes I would absolutely be down to do a buddy read... I've got to get a copy of the book.
