H'm ... well, at first glance I think about the only one I'd interested in would be THE SECRET KEEPER.
I know it was a lot, sorry. I am free anytime after Tues, The secret Keeper and The distant hours are the only ones I have not read by her, she is amazing :)
Oh, no, it ain't really that much. Haha--I'm practically reading that many books right now. And you wouldn't believe my TBR. :) I'm just not real big on YA-paranormal-type stuff. But, I keep trying it.
I did not realise how much YA I had on my list until you said lol. I suppose we would not be book lovers if we did not want to read almost every book out there :)
And there's so many new books coming out, lol. It's making me crazy! It hard to just stay up on the latest, much less read 'em. It really is work, haha.
I know, I am not managing to keep up it's very difficult, having fun reading all the books though.
Do you want to read all those Emma? Which do you want to start on, I'm usually happy to read anything, my kids say if it has words on paper I'll read it,lol. So I'll join you:) I own a few of them as well, and one I'd really love to read is the Kate Morton one.
Angie and I will be reading the wood cutter in April if u wanna join?
I got shadow and bone from a charity shop a few weeks ago Joycedale and that's another I haven't read. Do you guys buy bargain books when you go out and then take a while to get round to reading them?
Yep, but now with ebooks being so handy sometimes I wonder if I'll ever get around to them
Angie, I am wanting to read them all sometime, just thought I'd give lots of options so people will choose a few lol. Which ones do you have Angie and we can start with them? I own all of these just now, I think Chuck wanted to read the Kate Morton one too, so it's a good one to start with. @Addy, Ye that's great, let me know when you's are starting it. :)
@Joycedale, Ye I can wait, as you can see I have loads to get through :) I love doing buddy reads, so it's worth the wait :) I am really bad with buying books in charity shops or ebooks and taking months if not years to get around to them. But hopefully I can get through a large chuck this year :)
Daughter of smoke and bone, the woodcutter, frost hollow hall, against the tide, secret keeper, beautiful creatures, and path unchosen. I can get the others as we read them either from the library or from the Amazon lending library. I love looking through charity shops and I have a brilliant book discount shop near me, so it'll be fun hunting for the books as well:)
How about The Secret Keeper? I wouldn't mind doing that one at all, Kate Morton is a really good writer :)
That's cool, when does everyone want to start the secret keeper then?
Any time for me. I have the book ready :)
I'm ready for that one as well, I've had the book for ages and this buddy read means I'll actually read it now:-) this is going to get some books of my tbr pile and that can't be bad,lol
That's fine I am ready any time too, Angie, that's exactly why I made this post lol, need to read some books, have far too many :)
I've set up the link for the Secret Keeper, so ready to start when you are :) https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

@Natasa, your more than welcome to join in with the current one. Or let us know which of these you would like to do. I have far too many books so I am trying to clear them. I just finished The dead girl's detective agency, which is on that list, it was really good :)
I just removed the one I have read, I will try to keep doing that so everyone (including myself) can see at a glance, what has been read.
I can read shadow and bone now. I just need a 1 day heads up so I can go to the library
How about starting a week tomorrow? I need to finish a few first. That okay?
That sounds good:) I bought it but haven't got round to starting it yet. I've seen mixed views on it but I'll make my own mind up. Not everyone likes all the same books do they, it would be pretty boring if we did:-) So starting this in about a week then?
Ye sounds good to me, I will try and get my way through the secrt keeper by then or at least more than I am now, not invested enough yet
I hate it when books are like that for me, I'm having a problem with the general book read on here for this month. For the first time I'm not reading the group read. Do you ever have that problem on your book group Emma?
I often don't read the BOTM which is terrible I know, but I often know I am not going to like it, I do try to, but I am ashamed to say I do not manage to read as often as I would like. Kate Morton is a favourite author of mine too, which is making it worse, I should love this book, but I cannot seem to connect with it. :(
Emma, don't even worry about reading the BOTM. A lot of times I only read one of them myself. Find a book you want to read, set a start date, and then begin a discussion under buddy reads. Someone will most likely join.
A week works for me.I only do the botm's that I'm interested in, I'm actually not doing either one for this group this month. It doesn't matter if you do them or not.
Hence, one of the reasons I named this group "Casual Readers" :D
I have a group too, that Angie is part of, and I don't often read the books for there either, I do try but it is difficult. I do want to read Death of the Mad Hatter (it was my suggestion), so I really should, will try and do it soon, just too many good books :)

Cindy wrote: "Hence, one of the reasons I named this group "Casual Readers" :D"I must be a bit slow at the moment Cindy, I never even thought of that lol!! Thanks for saying all that guys:-) Its made me feel a bit better at not reading that book yet. I'll get round to it soon and there's still some time until the end of the month.
Ah right, I've just found the thread Joycedale:) I've been looking forward to this one;-) Its a good list Emma put together, I had quite a few of them all bought and ready to read. Putting this together has made it ideal!!
I am glad it's helping others get through their TBR pile too. I will be starting touch of frost soon too, in another group, I will put up a link here too. I really should stick to one book at a time, but there's too many ones I want to read lol. I really am looking forward to Shadow and Bone.
I've got it of my book case and picked a bookmark for it:) I love collecting bookmarks, every time I go out I buy or get freebie book marks:D My kids know this as well and over the years they've got me some pretty cool ones.
That's really nice of them, I do like nice bookmarks but just now I am using a train ticket as one lol
I use tickets as well like cinema tickets or train ones if I've been somewhere nice and want to keep the ticket,lol Its a bit crazy, I have a box of them. Places like Waterstones give them away at the counter. They are usually adverts for upcoming books or events that are made into bookmarks and they are free. You don't have to buy a book to get them! And the cinema has a rack of freebie postcards that advertise bands or films and you can get some pretty good looking ones :D They are on a rack before you buy tickets so you can just wander in and get them without having to see a film:o):)Wow I shouldn't start to talk about my crazy habits,lol
Emma, do you want me to start a discussion under "buddy reads" and see if we can find someone to read this with you? I will be happy to if you want.
It's fine I'll do it :) I suppose more people will see it then, Thank you :)
You're welcome. I would but I'm currently finishing off two books and I've got two more to start on the first. Plus, my surgery. Sorry.
It's okay, Hope your surgery goes well and you get better soon. :)

I have a long list of books to read, so I thought I would list them here and hope some people would like to do buddy reads of some of these, it's going to a long post sorry.
Think that's enough to be going on with for a while, Hope people want to read some after all that :) Also this is only a selection of the books I have, hence why I need help and company :)
