For example. You have a buddy read for book one set up on July 1st and a buddy read set up for book tWo on July 3rd. You can start your second buddy read, even if you haven't finished the first.

I still don't know what my books are....it starts tomorrow.
edited -- 7/7My Partner is Trisha. Also, Trisha, sorry this took a few moments. I was only familiar with a few of the books, so I had to look up a lot of them. Anyway, here is the list! Hope you enjoy:
1.
The Hallowed Ones -- I like Amish fiction a lot, but this one seems to have an intriguing "undead" twist.
2.
Eat, Brains, Love -- Should be an easy, quick read. Still focusing on the undead, but with more laughs.
3.
Identity Theft -- This sounds creepy and it appears to be one of those 'page-turner' books.
4.
Pretty Dead -- Mixed reviews on this one, so I put it in the middle.
5.
Insomnia -- Another thriller. It looks really intense and good push for the rest of the list.
6.
A Really Awesome Mess -- Bouncing off of "food" -- I thought this would be a nice change from the paranormal books. I'm adding to my TBR list too.
7.
The Program -- Possibly very emotional.
8.
Unfed -- You enjoyed the first one. And I thought you might enjoy a lighter book after all of those.
9.
The Charge -- Possible kings and missing brother...this book looks amazing.
10.
Wild Awake -- I have seen this book all over goodreads and the blogosphere, and I've heard good things.
Additional Book 11 --
Marie Antoinette, Serial Killer -- Set in Paris.
I still don't know what my books are either, and i really wanted to have them ready to read by tonight.
I wanted to start soon but I still don't have my books!

Harley and Lindsey...I'm going to pick each of your "substitute" books which you can start tomorrow. If your partners get back to you, tell them to only pick 10 books ( no substitute) for you. Worse case scenario, if for sme reason your partners can't participate then you can partner each other.

My partner is Lindsey, and I chose for her to read:
1.
- because I love classic stories being twisted around in unimaginable ways.
2.
- If the story goes on, then reader must go on! (Which is completely unlike me, since I hardly ever pick up a sequel).
3.
-I used to devour his Thirst books in middle school, and I want to see if I should be picking these ones up to.
4.
- I love strange beautiful men coming into an unlucky heroine's life, why not? Plus, my cousin got this signed by Hilary Duff; and I wanna see how Lizzie Maguire has transitioned herself into a mystery writer.
5.
-Really excited for this one, it has cute boys, reincarnation, and murder, set in New York. Thats a winning deal there, Lindsey.
6.
- I'm just happy that this is set in college, and the main character isn't some high school girl. And I feel that is enough. (;
7.
- I'm suspecting some twists, sensing from the titles. So yes, more (fallen?) angel boyfriends :D
8.
-Her first series was terrific, so what could possibly go wrong with Maggie Stiefvater's newest creation? I remember wanting to read this as well so, I'm looking forward to your review, Lindsey.
9.
-Part 1 of the Finale! Who doesn't love a good (seeing from the reviews) post-apocalyptic/Dystopian series?
10.
- The next in the series! The battle for survival never truly ends anyway. So yes! That's it!
Substitute(s):
(You can choose to read this one either before you read Partials, since it is an explanation, or you could choose not to, because I have plan B....)
Plan B!:
- a contemporary romance, to give you those certain butterflies. Plus, aren't we all a bit hopeless? (I sure know I am), so, as I repeatedly say, why not?
