I still need to read Harry Potter too!! Are you reading the whole series in August though?? :)

I'm hoping too. I saw fantasy is this months genre and I figured it be a good time to read them.

Tommy Hancock (tommyhancock) | 84 comments I'm not a particularly fast reader and i read all 7 books in less than two weeks. They're super easy to just sit with for long stretches of time.

Wow that's pretty impressive, and I thought I was a fast reader lol. They don't seem like they'd be a lot of time but I saw that one is 700+ pgs and another is almost 900

Abby M. | 31 comments I'm tryna read the game of thrones series. Kinda wish to read with someone else. I finished the 1st book, but i guess alone without having someone else to talk about it with, it takes me longer on such a big series.


message 13: by Sarah (new)

Sarah | 3050 comments Mod
Hey Abby :) I finished the first book a few months back and haven't started the second yet but I could read them with you :) I know they are monsters of books! :)

Sarah | 3050 comments Mod

message 23: by Heather (new)

Heather | 368 comments Would anyone like to read the fifty shades of grey series with me?


message 24: by Abby M. (new)

Abby M. | 31 comments Oh, it says 2011 bantam books mass market edition, on back of title page. Would that be it?


message 25: by Heather (new)

message 27: by Abby M. (last edited Aug 11, 2015 05:36AM) (new)

Abby M. | 31 comments I'll do fifty shades of grey with you Heather if you'd like. I've been curious to know what happens, instead of waiting for the movies haha.

Ya I was wondering cause I have the 2014 harper voyager ones and they split A Storm of Swords and A Dance With Dragons into 2 books each so there is A Storm of Swords PI and PII and a Dance with Dragons Part I and part II but you must have the ones that have a single book each for A Storm of Sword and A Damce with Dragon, ya? :)


message 29: by Heather (new)

Heather | 368 comments Okay! When would you like to start Abby?


message 30: by Heather (new)

Heather | 368 comments Yeah Sarah those are the ones she has :)


message 31: by Abby M. (new)

Abby M. | 31 comments Okay Heather, I'll pick up books this afternoon. So anytime you'd like once I have them with me, tonight even :). And yes Sarah I have the individual books. That should be okay still right?

To be honest I don't know of any recent good series releases but I'm up for anything. I have read a few YA series like The Selection and such. Any suggestions? :)


message 37: by Sarah (new)

Sarah | 3050 comments Mod
Hmmm, These are some good series which I've already read and loved:
- The Mortal Instruments & The Infernal Devices by Cassandra Clare
- Legend Trilogy by Marie Lu
- Vampire Academy & Bloodlines by Richelle Mead
- Noughts & Crosses by Malorie Blackman

These are series that I've started but haven't finished but loved the books I did read :p
- Daughter of Smoke and Bone Trilogy by Laini Taylor
- Age of Legends Trilogy by Kelley Armstrong
- Feed & Parasitology series by Mira Grant
- The Fifth Wave by Rick Yancey
- The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer
- Ashes Trilogy by Ilsa J. Bick
- Throne of Glass & A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas
- A Game of Thrones by George R. R. Martin.

Sorry for so many suggestions but I don't know what you've read or not read and there's a bit of everything really in that list above so maybe you'll find something you like :)

What about 'The Lunar Chronicles' or 'Throne of Glass & a Court of Thorns and Roses'?


message 39: by Sarah (new)

Sarah | 3050 comments Mod
I could read Throne of Glass, I'm on the second book though... and I'm on the third book of The Lunar Chronicles.

But if you'd like to start a series with me throw out some suggestions and I'll see if I have them :) Sorry for the confusion.

I don't mind any to be honest, I don't have a lot of suggestions. What about divergent series? Have you any suggestions?


message 41: by Sarah (new)

Sarah | 3050 comments Mod
I'm on the third book in that too :/

Anyone up for Everneath (Everneath, #1) by Brodi Ashton Everbound (Everneath, #2) by Brodi Ashton Evertrue (Everneath, #3) by Brodi Ashton this month?


message 43: by Amanda (new)

Amanda (zmobie) | 251 comments I am, Joycedale. I currently only have the first book, though. Working on getting the others. If I can get them, I would love to do a BR with you.


message 44: by ☆Joycedale☆, Angel With A Shotgun (new)

☆Joycedale☆ | 1543 comments Mod
Alright. I still need to go get them from the library myself lol


message 45: by Amanda (new)

Amanda (zmobie) | 251 comments My library doesn't even have them. :/ But I'll let you know if I come across the rest of them. If not, I can at least do the first book with you.


message 46: by Netanya (new)

Netanya | 39 comments Can I join you two reading the Evernight series? I get my copies tomorrow


message 47: by Thej (new)

Thej | 93 comments Can I join too? I already have my copies.


message 48: by ☆Joycedale☆, Angel With A Shotgun (new)

☆Joycedale☆ | 1543 comments Mod
Of course you guys can join! I went and got them from the library so I guess it's just up to Amanda when we start


message 49: by Amanda (new)

Amanda (zmobie) | 251 comments We can start whenever you guys want, at least for the first book. Still haven't tracked down the other two, but if you guys want to start on Everneath we can do that? I can always catch up later whenever I get the others.

Tomorrow then? I'll put up a thread
