It's just a Form Response page, that throws the info into a spreadsheet for the mods, who can then just copy & paste and make a thread... and helps them keep track of which threads have been recorded in the monthly and Master Lists... I gave Peggy a tutorial just above these comments :)

- Corpies at some point. Got it given to me and I've been putting it off. Let me know how soon you want to try that one. I'll try to join a few others but I can't read as fast as you...
Not sure how I messed that message up above. But I can be in for the Sarah Maas book at some point and want to read Camp Valor soon. Been putting it off for a bit now. Let me know and I will try and join a few but I can't read as fast as you Soo!!!
We can space them out. I have so many re-reads & want to finish series on my current list that it's pretty easy to put in different books between planned BRs. When do you want to read House of Earth & Blood? I can do that one between 4/17-4/21 or after 4/23.
If you're interested in the others, just let me know. =D
I feel like everyone has probably read it already, but does anyone want to read Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo with me? I'm about 10 pages in and I've never read the Grisha Trilogy.
(Please send me a message if interested)

04/17-4/21 works for me. I prolly join a couple others too.
Thanks for the head's up, Siobhan! I took a look & may jump in to chat. =)Brian, just let me know which ones you are interested in and I can read them when you have time. =D
Hey peeps! I’m wanting to start The Mirror Empire by Kameron Hurley within the next couple of weeks. Would anyone like to join me?
Anyone wanna read The Ocean at the End of the Lane and
The Happy Prince and Other Stories with me? ^_^ my delivery might arrive this week

Hey Maria! Depending on when you start The Ocean at the End of the Lane, I may be a tad late, but I'm down to join! I'm currently reading Stardust and then planning to read The Ocean at the End of the Lane. Should only take me a few days to finish Stardust up and then I'm happy to read that with you. Been on a big Gaiman-kick here recently.

Hey Maria!..."
Great!
It might arrive Friday, I'm down for reading it then! Or the weekend. Whenever you're finished with Stardust. Shall we pick a date for the buddy read thread to be set up?
Maria wrote: "Chris wrote: "Maria wrote: "Anyone wanna read The Ocean at the End of the Lane and

Sounds good to me! I started Stardust yesterday, but knocked out 23%, so if I keep this pace then I just need a few more days. Feel free to pick whenever works best for you or when it arrives, and I'll probably personally start it next Monday or Tuesday. That sound okay?
Regardless though, I won't be far behind you at all in starting the book.
That's cool! Monday works for me, thanks Don't worry about falling behind, I'm a rather slow reader. Even if I do have a headstart, you'll catch up :p
I'll ask for the thread to be set up when the book arrives

Haha awesome then! I'm currently in a "can't get enough" phase of reading Gaiman after picking him up recently, so I'm pretty stoked for this one too. :)

I like to read ocean at the end of the lane, I can start any time from next week :))))

Me too! Recently I've been craving Gaiman's work
@Peggy, awesome! We've decided to start Monday

Interested in Make Me No Grave by Hayley Stone
Also interested in Quill by AC Cobble & 2nd Gen by William & Andrea Vaughan, but I don't want to start too many new series at the moment, so I kinda want to see what you think? (this is why I barely looked at the other series starters)
EDIT/NOTE: This decision TOTALLY has nothing to do with how Make Me No Grave costs KU + $2 whispersync, and the other 2 are KU + $7.49 :D

Saar The Book owl wrote: "Anyone wants to BR Dry?"I'm interested :) Do you have a date in mind? If you want to start immediately I think it would be hard to fit it in, but end of next week or a bit later should work for me

I have the copy already, but no rush. Maybe around 27th April? That's the last week of April.

Mirror Empire: @Iain and Anya sweet! I was thinking either to start as soon as Sunday the 19th or in two weeks on May 3rd. Any preferences?
Niki Hawkes wrote: "Mirror Empire: @Iain and Anya sweet! I was thinking either to start as soon as Sunday the 19th or in two weeks on May 3rd. Any preferences?"Either works for me, but I'd prefer the 19th :)) I'm afraid my scatterbrained self will forget about it the later it is...
I don't remember who else had wanted to read Way of Kings with me starting today, but I just noticed that the thread must not have ever been requested. I just requested it so we should have it soon.
Niki Hawkes wrote: "Mirror Empire: @Iain and Anya sweet! I was thinking either to start as soon as Sunday the 19th or in two weeks on May 3rd. Any preferences?"if u want to start it in may I can join too!!!!!!
Niki Hawkes wrote: "Mirror Empire: @Iain and Anya sweet! I was thinking either to start as soon as Sunday the 19th or in two weeks on May 3rd. Any preferences?"I'm interested too! I'm fine with both dates but if it's the 19th, I'll likely be a little late
Mirror Empire: what if we split the difference and start on the 26th. How would that work with everyone’s schedule? :)
I can make most things work :) Even if I end up showing up late, because I'm not in the mood on the start date :)
Niki Hawkes wrote: "Mirror Empire: what if we split the difference and start on the 26th. How would that work with everyone’s schedule? :)"if its just the first book, that would work for me too :D
Going to read The Secret Commonwealth by Philip Pullman. A continuation of His Dark Materials. Anyone interested?
