If you don't find people for a new BR, you could just join the existing one. I've been pretty busy these days and am a mere 5 chapters in :)

Thanks Virginie,

I didn't realize it was still going... sounds like an excellent idea. I'll double check with Laura as I've already suggested a new thread (not yet officially requested). The trick will be avoiding earlier discussion to avoid spoilers.


message 5204: by Graeme (new)

Graeme Rodaughan Thanks Tammie.


message 5205: by Soo (new)

Soo (silverlyn) | 6898 comments Graeme, people put everything in spoilers so you shouldn't have a problem. I think I'm on Ch7 of that book. Haha


message 5206: by Graeme (new)

Graeme Rodaughan All good, Soo. Thanks Cheers Graeme .


message 5207: by Laura (new)

Laura (lauradragonchild) | 6554 comments I'll join you on the thread Virginie and Soo. But in a few days time. Meet you there Graeme?

Done. I'll start in 1 or 2 days.


message 5209: by Twila (new)

Twila | 142 comments I think I might join in with you guys for Kaigen. As soon as I'm finished with my current read, might take 2 more days :)


message 5210: by Graeme (new)

Graeme Rodaughan Hi Twila, welcome aboard.


message 5211: by Chris (new)

Chris | 75 comments I'll echo Tammie's praise for The Sword of Kaigen. It was fantastic. Enjoy it!


message 5212: by Charlie (new)

Charlie (charlieridley) | 5750 comments Hi, is anyone interested in reading the Dark Elf trilogy Homeland Exile and Sojourn? The first book will be a re-read for me but the other two are new.

I was thinking a timeline like:

24th Feb Homeland
24th March Exile
24th April Sojourn

I might read more Drizzt, if you make it past the first 2 trilogies... I did those last year... doesn’t help you right now tho...


message 5214: by Sterling (new)

Sterling (sterling1989) | 272 comments I also started a Drizzt re-read last year (Homeland - The Crystal Shard). I could join you at Streams of Silver if you make it that far.


message 5215: by Bill (new)

Bill | 2150 comments I only read the original trilogy last year so would join at The Crystal Shard if you got that far and wanted to continue. Like Iain said though this doesn't help you right now.


message 5216: by Twila (new)

Twila | 142 comments I love the Legend of Drizzt saga so much. To add to the unhelpfulness, I'm up to book 31 (Timeless), I'll join you guys there if you make it that far 😅


message 5217: by Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely (new)

Niki Hawkes - The Obsessive Bookseller | 7639 comments Mod

Charlie if you request a thread I am sure others will join. I am intrigued and would like to read with you, but I do have the Unhewn Throne starting feb 26 so might be rather intermittent.

That's fine fine, I'm happy to read it slowly while I read other things. I'll request a thread :)

There never is a timelimit to schedule a buddy read, you can always request another one for March...

The easiest way to see what buddy reads are planned for each month is to check out this thread:

I love the Invisible Library series... I'm almost tempted to do a re-read, just to get you caught up for future releases...

I'm interested in The Six... all 3 books are available on Hoopla apparently...

Also willing to try Sorcerer to the Crown...

Loneliest Girl in the Universe and Blunt Force Magic sound interesting, but aren't available on audio, so I'm going to have to hold off and hope they see audio someday, or maybe try them in TTS down the line...

Iain, does this work for you?
March 7 The Six
March 20 Aurora Rising
April 1 Empress of a Thousand Skies
May 1 Sorcerer to the Crown

I'm still waiting to hear back from Charlie on the middle two.

Those dates work for me, for the ones I was interested in... don't think I'm going to read the middle two


message 5233: by Tammie (new)

Tammie | 5949 comments Ok, I have no idea why I thought you were wanting to read those, haha.


message 5234: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth (fantasynerd365) | 1229 comments Hey guys, I don't remember who else was wanting to read this but I don't think a thread ever got made for Skyward by Brandon Sanderson. We were planning sometime in March I think but don't remember when. I'm on app so can't really look. Or is there a thread and I just missed it? Anyway if not when in March were you guys wanting to read it?

I was going to ask the same thing. I guess we could use the old 2019 thread. I can start on early March.


message 5238: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth (fantasynerd365) | 1229 comments Mid March would work better for me.


message 5239: by Silvana (new)

Silvana (silvaubrey) | 1970 comments Elizabeth wrote: "Mid March would work better for me."

No problem, I will start earlier and since I will use the audio version I will be slower than usual.


message 5240: by Tammie (new)

Tammie | 5949 comments I requested threads for:

March 7 The Six
March 20 Aurora Rising
April 1 Empress of a Thousand Skies
May 1 Sorcerer to the Crown


message 5241: by Charlie (new)

Charlie (charlieridley) | 5750 comments Shall we say about March 20th for Skyward? Shall I request a thread?


message 5242: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth (fantasynerd365) | 1229 comments yes please!

Frank | 827 comments The Magisterium series, Clare and Black.

Can a moderator put the remainder of the books into BR's. Several of us have started the second volume on 3/1/20, and will do one a month froward.

Thank you.
