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 😂

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...

You're more than welcome :)

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 already have it as well, but I can't until the 2nd of Feb. How's that?

"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.
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...
Is anyone interested in reading
Aristotle and Dante discover the secrets of the universe If yes, please dm.

Elizabeth wrote: "Also, does anyone want to BR The Way of Kings?"I am interested but I can't read it before mid April.
Elizabeth wrote: "Also, does anyone want to BR The Way of Kings?"I would also be interested in it. It would be a reread for me if that is not a problem

No problem at all!
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 Maria would you like to do BR of Warbreaker? Starting about the end of January?

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!

We will also read Warbreaker together, so you're all welcome to join that ine as well.

I don't mind either way! :)
Would you guys be moving on to Starsight straight after, or waiting for the paperback?
