Hi Niki, how are ya? Holidays all good, I hope + *hugs* and 😘❤️ to "Junior" who must have turned two by now (sorry I only know Colt and Jolene's names) and Happy New Year, "Cappy" tho I'm not a Raider this year...*drumrolls* the original 😂 2018 Inda team reunite!
😂 I think Scott and Mayim were the only ones who finished that round.
No worries, I'm not a very fast reader either, unless its a reread...we'll be around!!

Melissa wrote: "@ Bea, Shaitarn, Zaara
Like Zaara said, I was already planning on reading Inda, so I'm in as well. Glad for the company. My March is still wide open, so the 1st works fine."

@all who are planning for Inda...so...is March, April, May, June 5 ok with everybody?? I'm fine any dates from March onward, so please ask for the threads at a time that suits y'all and I'll arrive....

Yeah...March 1 is great too...I just picked 5 as an arbitrary number since so many BRs begin March 1...

Wooot! I will read Warbreaker with you guys!!


@Elizabeth just looked thru your list,
Hailee and I are definitely readign Priory of the Orange Tree together this year. And I see you have Mistborn 1 on the list too...I think that's one of Hay's top priorities this year and I wouldn't mind a reboot...
Would you mind waiting a couple months tho? I see you already requested a bunch for the first half of the year...lemme ask Hay to come here and we can find a time that suits everyone....

[Elizabeth]

Sure, later works fine for me. I was planning on doing Priory of the orange tree soon since I have it on audio, but can hold off.

https://www.goodreads.com/review/list......"

I’m interested in The Color of Magic and The Queen's Blade. Both would have to be in February or later.

[Jenna, I'd be free if not for Temper & Edgewalker]

Anyone interested in any of these throughout the year?

The Vagrant
The Grace of Kings
Senlin Ascends
Transformation
The Winds of Khalakovo
Fortress in the Eye of Time
Fool's Errand (and possibly the whole Tawny Man trilogy)
Empire in Black and Gold (and possibly Shadows of the Apt series)
The Dragonbone Chair
Magician: Apprentice (Riftwar Saga read)

I'm up for both Priory and Mistborn. I need to leave April and August clear for a readathon I take part in so May onwards would be my preference.

Would either of you object if when we plan Mistborn we just set a date for the first one and then decide on the when we start the others as we go? Sometime a rigid one a month plan can get a bit stressful and we can be a bit more spontaneous with our start dates if we leave it open.

[Frank]

Is anyone interested in buddy reading the War With the Mein series, Davis Anthony Durham?
Acacia: The War with the Mein

Jenna, I'd love to read Fortress in the Eye of Time and possibly The Vagrant with you (I know I have a copy of it somewhere...) if you don't mind waiting for a few months. I'm over-booking myself stupidly this year!

April 12th sounds great.

[Elizabeth]

You want to request it?

[Lily]

Will be unavailable for almost all of the summer. We could do it in August if that’s not way to late.

Okay, I've requested the read for 5th March as Zaara asked pretty please if we could do that. :) Yes, if we like book 1 we can request the others (better than requesting BRs and then abandoning them because the first book was a disappointment...)

Jenna,
Are you planning to read both [book:The Grace of Kings and The Wall of Storms? I've read Grace of Kings, and I have the Wall of Storms ready. So if you're continuing, I'll join for the second book.

[Rob]

Ok, based on the responses -

I'm going to request two buddy reads
The Licanius Trilogy #1
The Shadow of What Was Lost 4/10
An Echo of Things to Come 5/10
The Light of All That Falls 6/10

Going to also request...Draconis Memoria Series
The Waking Fire 5/25
The Legion of Flame 6/25
The Empire of Ashes 7/25

How does that work for everyone interested?

I can probably pick up another buddyread/series in early July. I know I'm going to probably be inserting some other new releases along the way (Hunger Games prequel comes to mind but I suspect that will be a quick read) and am debating rereading at least Oathbringer in November before stormlight 4 drops.

Also doing the "Of Blood and Bone" series starting 2/20,3/20, 4/20 for those that have read the first John Gwynne series.

Iain did you request a thread for Age of Death? It doesn't look like I'm going to have time to read it early, so I'll buddy read that one if you still want to.

[Elizabeth]

sounds good for me. I may also join in for Age if Death. I haven't had time to read early either.
