Go ahead and set up the thread for your buddy read. If you prefer, you could do a new thread for each book, like we are doing for the Daevabad Trilogy. I would just do each book as it's ready rather than setting up a bunch of threads.

You can also do one thread for the entire series if you prefer. We did The Dark Tower series that way. It's your preference.

I would be interested in Harry Potter and Percy Jackson. I read the first book of both series recently so I would start with book 2 :)

Christina ❤️M❤️ (christir1159) | 1 comments Janice, I made a thread for Marked in Flesh the 4th book for The Others series on April 25th.


message 457: by Janice, Moderator (new)

Janice (jamasc) | 59884 comments Thanks Christina. I'll add it to the calendar.


Christina ❤️M❤️ (christir1159) | 1 comments Janice will you be setting up a buddy read for The Witch's Heart?


message 459: by Janice, Moderator (new)

Janice (jamasc) | 59884 comments I can, if people are interested in reading it.

I've decided that I'm going to participate in the discussion on The Mercies. I've already read it and I think I remember enough about it to discuss it. I'm also going to read The Witch's Heart for the themed read.

Janice (jamasc) | 59884 comments I've set up the buddy read for The Witch's Heart.

I can get a copy of The Girl Who Was Supposed to Die from the library in about 4 weeks. If that isn't to long to wait.

I was it in 2017 and loved it.

We are going to start Lake Silence, the 1st of the World of Other series, on August 1st.

Ritika Gupta (ritikareads) | 3 comments Hey!

I am planning to read ‘A Place For Us’ and would love to have a buddy for it! Do reach out if you’re interested


message 470: by Saar The Book owl (new)

Saar The Book owl | 2648 comments Who is the author, Ritika, as there are books with the same title, but different authors?


message 471: by Saar The Book owl (new)

Saar The Book owl | 2648 comments There's a series in my bookcase that keeps staring at me: 'Earth's children' by J.M. Auel. Years ago I've read The Clan of the Cave Bear and The Valley of Horses, but I want to read them again and maybe finish the series.

I don't know if there's any interest?

I am interested in this. I read clan of the cave bear recently-ish and wanted to continue the series. I'll join you for Valley of the Horses on


message 473: by Saar The Book owl (new)

Saar The Book owl | 2648 comments I think on planning it at the beginning of the next year. I've read the first 3 books years ago, but want to start all over again and finish the series. We can read it together, and with others who are interested, after I've finished the first book again?


message 474: by Katrisa (new)

Katrisa | 4460 comments sounds good!

Saar, I might join you. I have all the books and maybe it's time for a reread. I might skip The Valley of Horses as I reread that one for bookclub a couple of years back.


message 476: by Saar The Book owl (new)

Saar The Book owl | 2648 comments Super, Margo! The more, the merrier. I still need to buy the last book of the series. I'll start the first book somewhere this month and then continue and let you know when I've finished the second if you're going to skip it.


message 477: by Peggy (new)

Peggy (pebbles84) | 15868 comments I watched the first episode of The Wheel of Time yesterday and that got me thinking that I really should get to those books. So now I'm considering (not a definite plan yet) starting them in the forseeable future. Anyone interested in joining me (for the next couple of years ;-))?

A few of us read The Eye of the World last year (or maybe 2019) so I'm not on for repeating that one but definitely interested in book 2.


message 479: by Peggy (new)

Peggy (pebbles84) | 15868 comments Lol, I had no idea it was done so recently!

If anyone's interested in picking it up from book 2 that's fine too, I'll just need some time to catch up.


message 480: by Janice, Moderator (new)

Janice (jamasc) | 59884 comments It's been on my wishlist for years, and I've been looking for a new series to grab me the way The Realm of the Elderlings. I'd be interested in doing the first book with you, and then the others can pick up with book 2. January could be a write off since I have more medical intervention, and I already have a chunkster buddy read. I would be willing to start it in February, if that works for you.


message 481: by Peggy (new)

Peggy (pebbles84) | 15868 comments I'm also looking forward to immersing myself in a whole new world again, and not just for 3 short books. Wheel of Time seems perfect.

I'm flexible, February works for me.


message 482: by Janice, Moderator (new)

Janice (jamasc) | 59884 comments Super!


message 483: by Peggy (new)

Peggy (pebbles84) | 15868 comments I set up a thread, https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

We can discuss details there and it might me more visible for other to join.


Christina ❤️M❤️ (christir1159) | 1 comments I am wanting to read Wuthering Heights right after the toppler so the 12-15th start and want to see if anyone wants to join me?


message 485: by Cherie (new)

Cherie (crobins0) | 21536 comments You may want to rethink reading Wuthering Heights yet. You could use it for the books mentioned in another book. I don’t remember the site, but it is in a list that I posted.

I have read it several times.


message 486: by Kristie, Moderator (new)

Kristie | 19137 comments If anyone would like to join us, we are planning a buddy read of Thunderhead by Douglas Preston beginning around March 10th. This is the first book in the Nora Kelly series.

Link to discussion is here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...


message 487: by Saar The Book owl (new)

Saar The Book owl | 2648 comments Hm, tempting to read, but I heard it's better to read the Preston and Child series first, because there are references of Nora Kelly in the books. Not sure if it's necessary...

Yes, I looked at the timeline. This one comes before those. Then, she is in a few of his books (# 3, 6, 7, and 9). Then, her own spinoff series begins with Old Bones after that.


message 489: by Saar The Book owl (new)

Saar The Book owl | 2648 comments Ah, I didn't know in which order it was.


Christina ❤️M❤️ (christir1159) | 1 comments @Saar- Definitely not necessary


message 491: by Janice, Moderator (new)

Janice (jamasc) | 59884 comments There was some interest in reading book 2 of Wexfort & Stone, Murder at Half Moon Gate as a buddy read. I'm planning it for one of my September reads, if anyone is interested in joining me for a buddy read.
