Jamie, I can't see your shelf. Maybe if you add it as a photo on your profile then I can look? And I'll read The Selection and The Elite with you. :) Legend's really good by the way.

Noella, when would you like to start with The Iron King?

Jamie Ekens (thebookkisser) | 500 comments I fixed it now. :) Can you try refreshing it and see if its okay? Is there already a buddy read thread for The Selection (The Selection, #1) by Kiera Cass and The Elite (The Selection, #2) by Kiera Cass ? Please send me the links. :3 Thanks Maddison! :)

I see~ Hmm hopefully this time it will be better? I got my set for like $11 with the poster at the back signed by Julie Kagawa! I couldn't pass up that bargain XD
How about starting on 8th but going at your own pace (and hopefully finish all for the challenge haha)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53684 comments Mod
I don't know if there is or not. I'll just check now Jamie. Also I would read A Feast for Crows with you but it's too large and I need to re-read the first 3 books. I can read The Subtle Knife and the Amber Spyglass with you though. Oh and Second Glance!

Alright that will work Noella. :) I've had to request The Iron King from my library as an ebook so hopefully it'll come soon.

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53684 comments Mod
Noella I'll also read Clockwork Prince and Princess when/if you get up to them haha.


message 406: by Noella (new)

Noella (kookiemonstar) | 3613 comments Oki~ I hope you get it by the 8th :)
I'm actually up to Clockwork Prince! Do you want to BR it late March like the 19th onwards?


message 407: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53684 comments Mod
Jamie, here's the thread for it but the date needs to be reset. And I have the Selection. It's just The Elite I need to get. https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Noella, we can BR it when you're ready. :) I'm actually hoping to get a lot read for this challenge this month.

Jamie Ekens (thebookkisser) | 500 comments Maddison, these are buddy reads for March. https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... No threads for all the books you wanna read with me. :D I kinda want to read the Kiera Cass books first. When do you wanna start? And also, for the other books, when do you wanna read it? A Feast for Crows is a huge book, we could read it last. :D


message 409: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53684 comments Mod
Jamie, I don't think I'll get around to A Feast For Crows sorry. It's just too big. It would take me the month to read it and I want to re-read the first 3 books first. I don't mind when we start the Kiera Cass books but I'll only be able to read The Selection before I wait for The Elite to come in. Maybe you just post the threads and some dates and I'll start then haha. I've not got much on in the way of buddy reads this month.

If I do finish Clockwork Prince this month, I'll join you. It will probably be around the end of March though~


message 411: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53684 comments Mod
Noella, are we starting Clockwork Prince March 19? Would you like to make a thread?


message 412: by Jamie (new)

Jamie Ekens (thebookkisser) | 500 comments It's okay. We could start The Selection on the 2nd then (tomorrow) if it's okay. I'll ask the mods to change the dates. :)


message 413: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53684 comments Mod
Yeah that's fine. :) How long do you think it'll take you to read it?


message 414: by Jamie (new)

Jamie Ekens (thebookkisser) | 500 comments Two or 3 days. How about you?

I've messaged Sarah to restart the existing thread: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
With all the notifications she looks really busy updating last month's challenge scores :P


message 416: by Noella (new)

Noella (kookiemonstar) | 3613 comments @Jamie
Selection and Elite are so fun and the pages fly by quickly :D


message 417: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53684 comments Mod
Well I don't have anything planned tomorrow so it'll probably take me around there too. Tomorrow I just have to clean the bathroom, wash Mum's car and sweep the driveway. But I also have 3 chapters of Marked to read and at least 1 of Scorpion Shards. I'd also like to finish Revived haha.


message 418: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53684 comments Mod
Are we reading it on a schedule?


message 419: by Maddie (last edited Mar 01, 2014 01:03AM) (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53684 comments Mod
Thanks Noella! :D

Jamie, what about The Subtle Knife & Amber Spyglass and Second Glance?


message 420: by Noella (new)

Noella (kookiemonstar) | 3613 comments @Maddison The Iron fey series will restart here:
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Have you read the Golden Compass? I have the omnibus on hand


message 421: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53684 comments Mod
Yeah I just read The Golden Compass recently so I don't really want to re-read that. But if you need to read that first then that's fine. :) I can wait.


message 422: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53684 comments Mod
Noella, when are we reading The Iron King?


message 423: by Jamie (new)

Jamie Ekens (thebookkisser) | 500 comments Sure! I enjoy buddy reads more when we're on the same pages. It has 25 chapters I think? You okay reading 8 per day? So we'll be done by March 4 and that'll give you time to get The Elite. :D Or too short? :D


message 424: by Noella (new)

Noella (kookiemonstar) | 3613 comments From 8th March. I messaged Sarah again to update the date :)


message 425: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53684 comments Mod
I don't know if I'll read this one on a schedule sorry Jamie because it's on my Kobo and when I read to schedules I normally give up because I get so far behind. But you can read to a schedule. :)

Ok thank you Noella. I might not be able to start then because I have to wait for 3 people to read the 1 copy of the book but when I get it I'll read it haha.


message 426: by Jamie (new)

Jamie Ekens (thebookkisser) | 500 comments Will you be able to get a copy of The Selection right away? If not, we could read the Second Glance on the 5th after The Selection. Can we read The Philip Pullman books on the last two weeks? I had troubles reading The Golden Compass haha


message 427: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53684 comments Mod
I have The Selection already. It's the second one I'm waiting on and I don't know how long it'll take until I can get it. I thought we were starting The Selection tomorrow?
Yeah we can read Second Glance on the 5th.
And how about The Subtle Knife on the 15th and The Amber Spyglass on the 23rd?


message 428: by Noella (new)

Noella (kookiemonstar) | 3613 comments @Maddison Wow that's a lot of holds. Hopefully you'll get it soon! (best case scenario people cancel their holds lol)


message 429: by Jamie (new)

Jamie Ekens (thebookkisser) | 500 comments It's alright Maddison! I'm a slow reader but I'll try my best to finish it. :)

Oh I meant, The Elite sorry. Haha. I'll try to find the threads. Hold on!


message 430: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53684 comments Mod
Yeah that's always good. Worst case scenario they hold it for ages and then don't read it.


message 431: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53684 comments Mod
Alright thanks Jamie! :D And Idk when I'll get The Elite. You can just read it without me and then when I get to it I'll post my thoughts on the BR thread so we can still count it. :)

message 433: by Christina (new)

Christina | 4293 comments @Maddison Whoa so packed already!!


message 434: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53684 comments Mod
Yeah I know! Have you posted your shelf Christina?


message 435: by Christina (new)

Christina | 4293 comments @Maddison
Yep, its on the front page
Let me know if you want to buddy any, I've arranged some but still have space for more!

Beautiful creatures anyone?


message 436: by Jamie (new)

Jamie Ekens (thebookkisser) | 500 comments Here are the threads for the two books:
The Subtle Knife (His Dark Materials, #2) by Philip Pullman - https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
The Amber Spyglass (His Dark Materials, #3) by Philip Pullman - https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Maddison, I dunno what topic should I put Second Glance. :3

And wow that's a lot of buddy reads!


message 437: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53684 comments Mod
Christina, I would BR Beautiful Creatures but I'm on page 274 already and it won't count for this challenge. I'll check out your shelf.

I'd put Second Glance as a Realistic fiction like all of her books.
Yeah I know it is. I know I'll probably get behind because I'm going to go methodically through the books but I hope to read fast. I'm going to finish Revived (my current book) then get to The Selection tomorrow.


message 438: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53684 comments Mod
Christina, I'll do The Eternity Cure with you and Leviathan and All Our Yesterdays and Shadow Kiss (which I'm already BRing on the 20th March).

The Legend series is absolutely amazing and so it Unravelling and its sequal Unbreakable.


message 439: by Jamie (new)

Jamie Ekens (thebookkisser) | 500 comments Okay thanks! I'll post the link here in a while. I wanna join The Maze Runner with you but I'm afraid I'll get behind. Maybe next time.

Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90931 comments Mod
Jamie - I'll add you ☺


message 441: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53684 comments Mod
Alright next time. :) And which link sorry? The Second Glance one?


message 442: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53684 comments Mod
I'm going to go to sleep soon. Just want to get this Second Glance thread so I'm up to date with what I'm reading and when, and then I'll go to bed.


message 443: by Jamie (new)

Jamie Ekens (thebookkisser) | 500 comments The second glance yes. Here it is! https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Thanks Sarah!


message 444: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53684 comments Mod
Thank you. :) Are we reading anything else together?


message 445: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53684 comments Mod
I think I'm gonna hop off now. It's 11pm where I am and I know it's Saturday but I want to get some more of Revived done. I think I'll have to finish it tomorrow.


message 446: by Maddie (new)

Maddie (maddisonbruce) | 53684 comments Mod
I'll definitely be back tomorrow though to see if there's been any updates haha.


message 447: by Jamie (new)

Jamie Ekens (thebookkisser) | 500 comments Good night Maddison! :) See you tomorrow. :)

Looking for buddies for the thumbnails :)

When can you do Leviathan (if theres space in your busy schedule hehe) :D


message 449: by Sarah Elizabeth (new)

Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90931 comments Mod
whoever was reading the elite, here is the thread, just leave a comment when you need me to change the date - https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...


message 450: by Jamie (new)

Jamie Ekens (thebookkisser) | 500 comments Thanks Sarah but I'll have to wait for Maddison until she could get a copy. We'll notify you when we've settled for a date. :)
