I'm not sure either, I'm super new at this. But there is a discussion topic in the general group info how to go about it. I guess we gotta fill in a google doc file.

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...



message 5360: by Brian (new)

Brian | 1681 comments 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!!!


message 5361: by Soo (new)

Soo (silverlyn) | 6898 comments 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

Catelynne | 9 comments 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.

Six of Crows (Six of Crows, #1) by Leigh Bardugo

(Please send me a message if interested)

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.

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?

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.


message 5373: by Maria (new)

Maria (mariasaleem) | 684 comments 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. :)

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

Either works for me, but I'd prefer the 19th :)) I'm afraid my scatterbrained self will forget about it the later it is...

Elizabeth (fantasynerd365) | 1229 comments 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.

I'm interested too! I'm fine with both dates but if it's the 19th, I'll likely be a little late
