@Saar I’ve always wanted to try the Dark Tower series! I might join you both in January. Any day works ^~^

I might join you, if I can find my copy of the first book. I know I have it somewhere!

[Siobhan]

I might be tempted to join Dark Tower too, time allowing :)
I read the Gunslinger and never continued!

[Zack]

Ok first time looking for a reading buddy.

I'm up for reading:
Rhythom of War (Stormlight Archive)
To Sleep in a Sea of Stars
Or something you recommend if you're a fan of Sanderson, Poalini, Sarah J. Maas, etc.

Hoping to make some friends out of it, as well. It turns out that changing jobs, moving halfway across the country, and a pandemic is an awful combo.

[Katie]

Welcome Zack! I’d be interested in reading “Sleep in a Sea of Stars” with you ^~^ I’m reading some books right now, but I’d be okay to start in December. What works for you?

[Saksham]

Saar The Book owl wrote: "No problem, I'm a slow reader too ;) Which date would fit for you in January?"

Can we start in late December? Around 27 Dec maybe. I have my exams from 6 Jan - 13 Jan, so will probably catch a break in that period.

Dear Siobhan, the books after Gunslinger run at the pace of a bullet, should surely at least read the second book. We may get to know when we finish the series, that why did King write a drawn-out first novel.

Hi Zack
There is an ongoing Rhythm of War BR so you are welcome to join

[Saar The Book owl]

If it's okay for everyone, can we start on December 28th for The Gunslinger?

[Narilka]

I'll join for The Gunslinger. That date is good Saar.

[Saar The Book owl]

Super, I'll ask for a thread.

Gunslinger [December 28, 2020]

I guess this is the thread, right?

[Soo]

Ready Player Two comes out on 11/24. =)

Let's do a BR! Narilka said she's getting the audio and I am too.

I'll probably re-read RP1 and dive into RP2.

Anyone else interested?

Ahh, you beat me to it :D Yep, I'm in. Have my book pre-ordered and waiting for Tuesday to download.

[Soo]

I'm good to start on Tuesday too. Anyone else interested?

[Charlie]

The new Alex Verus book comes out on December 3rd if anyone is interested?

[Soo]

Charlie, I'd join you for Alex. =)

Excellent I'll request a thread.

[Esrat]

Charlie, I believe we were supposed to read the rose and the dagger together around this time. Are you still up for it?

[Saar The Book owl]

Someone wants to BR with me?

[Charlie]

I completely forgot! So sorry I've had such a busy week, I'll start tomorrow!

Hello! I'd love to buddy read Among the Beasts & Briars with you~ Did you have a schedule or reading pace in mind?

[Chris]

I need help finishing my Buddy Read goal in this group. I'm working on 2, with 1 lined up. I need 1 more. It'll be audio for me, so I have the following in my Audible library:

Norse Mythology - Neil Gaiman
Age of Myth - Michael J. Sullivan
Watership Down - Richard Adams
Gwendy's Button Box - Stephen King & Richard Chizmar
American Sniper: The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in U.S. Military History - Chris Kyle
* The Dispatcher & Murder by Other Means - John Scalzi
Dead Moon - Peter Clines
A City Dreaming - Daniel Polansky
The Force - Don Winslow
* Ghost Road Blues - Jonathan Maberry
* Firefly: Big Damn Hero - James Lovegrove

* - included in Audible Plus subscription

I'll be looking to start something in the next few days. Might look at other options for last minute buddy reads.

Ooh! Nice books! I'd be interested in reading Watership Down sometime. I'm trying to finish some Robin Hobb books now, but maybe after that?

No, not really, but if you read by schedule or spreaidng chapters, let me know. When can you start?

[Chris]

Sure, that can work. I got it free awhile back and never got to it. So anytime when you're ready.

I'd considered those Hobb books to finish the series, but I need something I can actually finish in December lol

I highly recommend you reading the Dispatcher/Murder By Other Means and Dead Moon.

Hm, Iain may be interested in doing a re-read of Dead Moon with you. We all re-read/read the series earlier this year and it was great. Lots of things to link up and hypothetical what ifs to toss around.

I can do the Force. When do you want to read it? I bought it when it was on sale and haven't read it yet.

[Chris]

Thanks for the recs, Soo...

I've actually listened to The Dispatcher, just needed a reread before reading the second one..Liked it a bunch.

I have high hopes for Dead Moon too. I've read two by Clines that are loosely connected to DM, plus Ray Porter is one of my favorite narrators. He does a lot of Don Winslow..

Though doesn't do The Force, which is probably the only reason I haven't already gotten to it.

I could start The Force tomorrow (11/29). I only listen at 1.0 speed most times, so I don't fly through these. You could probably catch me easily if you weren't ready to start tomorrow..

[Elizabeth]

This is still a ways away, but who wants to read when it comes out January 12th?

[Kal1510]

Guys is there any br for age of myth...That book is on my shelf for atleast 6 months. I'm thinking to pick it up...I would love to join the br for it..

I listed this as one on my shortlist above that I'm interested in starting soon. I'm actually planning to binge all six books in the series. I'll be starting no later than the first of the year..

I want to make another go at the series myself. I was planning on binging it, started, and then... 2020. I'd pick it up again from book 3 - Age of War

[Chris]

Hey Melissa...

I've actually read the 1st three books but it was a long time ago, as they were beta reads. To finish the series I need a reread, and Tim Gerard Reynolds makes that work out nicely with his narration.

Tentatively I think I'll start around December 15 on Age of Myth, giving maybe two weeks for each.

[Mel]

I'd be down to join you in January and February then for 3-6.

[Chris]

Sounds like a plan :)

[Paula]

Elizabeth, I would like to read it

[Soo]

Chris, do you want to request for an official thread or post in one of the Book Clubs for the Force? I hear that one is iconic for the genre. I'm keen to see if it holds up. =)

The Threshold books by Cline are all linked. Figuring out how they are was half the fun. =)

I've read them all by publication order but it's not necessary. A group of us did a re-read of most of the books earlier this year when Terminus #4 came out.

Parker series by Richard Stark is also on Audible Plus. I listened to the first one and it's very gritty. I can see why there are so many movies based off of it. Plan to listen to the rest at some point.

[Chris]

Soo, we can probably do it in the Book Clubs. Is there one for noir/crime?

If so, we could look into adding the Parker stuff too. I'll check those out.

[Soo]

I think we can chat in the Mystery Book Club. We'll need to post that we're reading the Force and use spoiler tags to chat about it.

I'm currently on a Barbara Holloway spree. I should wrap that up in a day or so & join you for the Force. I listen at faster speeds so don't mind me. I'm good to chat as you go. =)

[Chris]

Ok, that sounds good

I don't really go by schedule either, though having a guideline can help sometimes. How about we start on December 1?

[Paula]

yes, Elizabeth, the 12 sounds perfect

Well, you've got a point. I'll check how many chapters and how long they are and maybe we can make a guideline?
December 1st is fine for me. I'll ask the thread :)
