Great! when do you want to read it? I only have three buddy reads so far, at 1st or 2nd (I'm not sure yet), 3rd, 16th. So I'm up whenever you want :)

This series isn't on my top priority but I need to finish it. I think I'll join you for Spirit Bound and Last Sacrifice :D

[Rachmi]

@Tessa, for Blood Red Road how about at the end of March, lets say 27th? I'm going to go hiking at another city at that time and want to bring it with me :D And yes with The Runaway King. We're going to read it tomorrow, right?

So far I have 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 16th, 27th (if you agree) for buddy read. Anytime for Evertrue and Horrorscape are fine with me.

I also have a wall bookcase but it would have been to hard to post.

I can never give up a book so I end up keeping them all.

[Rachael]

@Rachmi & @tessa - There's a BR for that on the 8th, does that work for you?

Some of these are rereads! And some can't be seen in the pictures......I have so many books I want to read....

[Noella]

@ Lindsey
Would you like to buddy read Scarlet and Champion? Your choice of the dates :)

[Rachmi]

Which one Rachael? I looked at the Paranormal/Fantasy thread and Dystopian/Futuristic thread but I couldn't find it.

How about 3/3 for Scarlet and 3/28 for Champion.

[Christina]

@Lindsey
I'm so jealous of your Vampire Academy box set
They look lovely!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Okay, I took some more photos, I haven't got them all still though because my camera battery died on me, and some of the books are difficult to get to!

Hi Rachael! We'll be having on 22nd March :) https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

I keeo running out of space!

[[deleted user]]

@Sarah I hear you on running out of space! My pictures were just my overflow as my mother calls them. The books I don't have room for in my bookcase!.

I need a whole room just for my books!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I need at least 1 room! It would be so cool to have my own library ☺

[Tati]

Yeah, space is a big problem for me as well... But I do miss having new books in my shelves. Thing is, here in Brazil is hard to find books in English (I mostly import them through the bookstore). This means that there is no such thing as nearly a whole floor dedicated to YA books, and they're not translated fast enough...

[[deleted user]]

My bookstore does not have a huge section for YA books and I'm in California. It makes me mad. I go there looking for book 1 or 2 in a series and they will have book 2 but not book 1. Or if the series is longer they have like book 3,4,5 but not 1 & 2. I end up ordering most online because of that and it's a long drive to the one the is "near" me.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I don't even remember the last time I went to a proper bookshop, I buy 90% of my books online through amazon or awesome books ☺

[Tati]

I love Amazon! But their shipping rates to Brazil are outrageous...

[[deleted user]]

I use Barnes and Noble and get free shipping.

[Tati]

Do they ship internationally?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

B&N's international shipping rates are higher than amazon's. I've looked before.

[Tati]

Just came to that same realization, Sarah.

[Annie]

I'd love to do this :) Most of my books to read are already posted...

[Tara]

Awesome!! I think I let her know I could do it with her but will check with her again.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Annie wrote: "I'd love to do this :) Most of my books to read are already posted..."

I've added you ☺

[Sarah Elizabeth]

If I haven't added anyone, or if you've posted photos and I've not put the little (picture+5) next to your name, please just let me know here. I'm on my own at the moment and I might miss things!

[Tara]

I was thinking that I could not read Into the Still Blue because it was published this year, but since other sequels have been added, would it be safe to say sequels can be used (if you have read the earlier books in the series) even if it were published this year?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Yep, because Into the Still Blue is part of a series, and you'll have been waiting for it from when the second was released (in theory), it will count for this challenge ☺

I'm in California too and I have the same problems! I read all my books on an e-reader and then buy the hard copy online for my collection.. I'm super jealous of everyones shelves though.. You own more books than I've even read!

I do the same! I find myself getting the e-reader version of a book and really liking it so I get a physical copy too!!

I have a lot because I can never give any up so I have some from when I was in middle school.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I hate to get rid of any too. just in case i want to read them again at some point in the future, even the bad ones!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I have the 25th free still, that's about it though. I haven't read the first two books before monsters of men, but i could read matched with you if you want ☺

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I could try and fit it in on the 2nd, or if there's a date you prefer I can read it a bit more slowly over a few days if you wanted?

Does this rule apply for Split Second as well? I'm going to read it regardless, but I want to know if I can use it or not :) .

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Yes you can use split second as its a sequel ☺ When are you starting it? I don't know if i can squeeze it in but i should read it soon really ☺

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Kathryn wrote: "Just looked at my other BR's, can we do the 4th?"

Yes ☺ It'll probably take me a couple of days to read all of it, but we can start on the 4th ☺
I'll find the old thread ☺
