Sorry, Marla. I won't be able to. I'm reading the Lord John Grey series first and I haven't finished it. It's so long!

Maybe you guys can move it to a later month


message 57: by Jennifer C. (new)

Jennifer C. | 1722 comments Yes, I definitely plan on reading it. I'm going to try and finish the in between series this month, but I don't know. I'll really try though!


message 58: by Marla (new)

 Marla | 1036 comments I just got it from the library, but I'm just not feeling it and it's such a long book to commit to, so maybe I'll wait.

So...


message 59: by Jennifer C. (new)

Jennifer C. | 1722 comments OK. I'm so sorry. I honestly totally forgot we were supposed to do it this month or I would have pushed myself harder to finish. Did you read the Lord John Grey series too?


message 60: by Marla (new)

 Marla | 1036 comments Let me know Jennifer C. :D

I liked A Discovery of Witches (All Souls Trilogy, #1) by Deborah Harkness and if you two like it, I'd be interested in reading #2 with you next month or sometime.

 Marla | 1036 comments I am reading Allegiant (Divergent, #3) by Veronica Roth Kill You Twice (Gretchen Lowell, #5) by Chelsea Cain Still Life (Chief Inspector Armand Gamache #1) by Louise Penny The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde this month if anyone is interested in being my buddy.

Hi Christi! Can you list a few books that you would like to read this month? That's usually the best way to find a buddy here.


message 67: by Christi (new)

You could look at the list of books people have already posted on this thread and choose one to read with them. Then post your choice and you can read it together this month. The mods create a new thread for you and your buddy to discuss your mutually chosen book.

Elle Becca-Rawr wrote: "Oooh, yay! When would you like to start it?"


I can start tonight! you?


message 82: by Becca (new)

Becca (the_bec) | 748 comments Um, I can start tomorrow, definitely. I want to see if it counts for the SS Challenge after I roll. If not I'll still start reading it, but it would be cool if it counted for the challenge, too! Does that sound like a plan? :)

 Marla | 1036 comments Becca-Rawr wrote: "Hey, Marla, :) When are you reading Dorian Gray?"

I just started The Picture of Dorian Gray and I am really enjoying it. Do you have any desire to read it with me?

Hate to break it to ya, but tomorrow is only Thursday. I actually thought the same thing this morning and I was SO disappointed. I feel like another day was snuck into my week. :(

Becca (the_bec) | 748 comments So much is going on and it's about me, oh goodness, lol

Thanks Jenn C.! I am so screwed up this week.

Sha, can we start this on Friday instead? I am SO sorry. If you really want to start it earlier, then I can read two books. I was just hoping it would fit into the SS challenge.

Marla, I can start it with you, :D I think I'm just going to have to accept that I'll be reading a bunch of books at the same time, lol As long as you don't mind that I might be a tad slower than usual. Would you like to sign us up or shall I?


message 87: by Elle (new)

Elle Friday is cool Becca-Rawr. :) I'll update the Buddy thread. Thanks!
