Yes, sorry for not being clear. I'm already up to book four in the Expanse series.

Twila | 142 comments I'd be up for To Be Taught, If Fortunate! I've been wanting to read it for a while.

As for Malazan, I agree starting sooner is probably best. It's a looong series...."


Hailee and me will read Gardens of the Moon starting February 1st, we will do a really slow BR tho... One chapter every other day 😂

I might pop in and discuss it with you guys. I need to somehow jog my memory of what happened in book 1! xD

Probably wouldn't hurt to start my/our Malazan BR around the same time as Anni/Hailee, then move on to book 2 with Twila shortly after, then Memories of Ice +++ shortly after that, etc...

Good idea. Anni and I are on the slow train for this buddy read but you can all start the journey with us before you swap to a faster mode of transport 😉

I really like the sound of a slow BR. I have heard so much about Malazan, I think a slow read would really suit me.

"

This tread just signed up its first lurker....😂😂😂

I'll wait a bit and see if I can cope with my other BRs before deciding if I will join the superslow read/group to refresh GoTM but I'm also up for finishing the main series and will join the girls for Book 3 and up.

Sythe (ross_reader) | 6 comments Would anyone be interested in a The Martian BR some time soon?


message 5119: by Timelord Iain, Tech Support (new)

Timelord Iain | 35309 comments Mod
I'm not interested in a re-read, but I read The Martian last year, and it was great... so anyone thinking about it, definitely should...


message 5120: by Soo (new)

Soo (silverlyn) | 6898 comments Martian is good! If you haven't read it, you should. It's a fun, nerdy SF.

I would also be interested in it. It would be a reread for me if that is not a problem

Beena (beenz) | 2198 comments Guys, Navi and Anni were planning on doing a BR for The Way of Kings in July (no date set yet) which I was going to join and we were gonna read the whole Stormlight Archive in preparation for the new release if you wanted to join that instead.

Check Navi's Cosmere Challenge thread in Individual Challenges :)

Hi Loriidae, sorry for the confusion Anni and I were still discussing what we were going to do but we've decided we're going to ask for the date to be updated on the August 2019 buddy read thread and use that. Here's the link:

Would you like to move our Starsight read to March as well, so we can join the group? I'm not in a hurry and both ways would be fine with me!

I don't mind either way! :)

Would you guys be moving on to Starsight straight after, or waiting for the paperback?
