Thanks for the interest in the books you guys! I’m gonna throw out some February dates. Let me know if they work for you and I can submit a request ^~^Children of Virtue and Vengeance - February 1st
Circe - February 15th
Does anyone want to buddy read The Black Coast near the release date which is 18th Feb?Also I'm planning on reading Pandora's Star in April if anyone wants to join me?

February 1st is a little close to another buddy read I signed up for starting on February 2nd, if we could start either a few days earlier or about 1/2-2 week(s) later, that would be better for me - if Siobhan and you don't mind. :)
Otherwise, I'll just try doing them both somehow ;)

I'm fine with later or earlier, I'll read it alongside my other commitments!
Have either of you read Children of Blood and Bone recently enough to give me a recap? 😅
Any interest in either of these new releases coming out this year? (Proposed dates 1 week post-release.)The Unbroken (March 30)
She Who Became the Sun (July 27)

I finished it December 28th :) I'm interested as well, but I'm not sure I'll be able to get the book on time to join you (I'll borrow it), I'll keep it in mind tho, for sure!
I'm reading Lair of Dreams (Diviners, #2) if anyone wants to join 😊 I'm less than a quarter of the way though (but you'll catch up, I have exams coming up so I'll be putting it on hold for the week
Would February 8th work better for you for Children of Blood and Vengeance?? Let me know!!And no Siobhan, I haven’t read it recently so my memory is fuzzy too. I was gonna look on google / YouTube for a quick recap. If I find a good one I’ll share ^~^

That'd be great!! :)
I might join for The Unbroken, She who became the Sun and/or The Black Coast, depending on whether I can find copies and also of my reading mood. Don't count on me but if BR are set up I will try to join one or more of them.
Great !! Yes! We will need help on that end for sure. LolI’ll request those dates then for the books ^~^

Silvana and Elinor, I'll put in a request for The Unbroken then.Soo, I can't promise I'll stick exactly to schedule, but I think the monthly timeline will accommodate more people. Sounds good!

thanks, Melissa! I am also interested with She Who Became the Sun but has no copy yet while the PO is still too expensive.
@Soo: Same with Melissa, can't commit I will read on the exact period - my possible earliest start would be April, but we'll see!

Missed your post Harsi. Also saw Alan was interested. Do you all want me to request a buddy read for the entire series or just start with the first and go from there?
I could see setting it up this week or next or later Februrary. I already have one buddyread planned starting the 10th of Feb.

Well, I'm planning on reading the whole series this year. If you are too, we can request a BR for the entire series.
I've got a bunch of reads already planned for this month so anytime in February would work better for me:-)

Cool! Maybe a late Feb/March/April schedule would work?
Would. Love to get in on The Poppy War series I've heard some good stuff about it, more brutal than abercrombie and Lawrence.
But I'm co. Nutted to at least 4 Buddy reads in Feb, would go for late Feb early March start on book 1

Would the last week of February work? Otherwise we can schedule it for the 1st of March
The February group book for a reading challenge I'm doing is
anyone want to buddy read it?I'm also rereading
around about the middle of February if anyone is interested?
I bought Red, white and royal blue recently so I'm in ! (reading mood shouldn't be a problem since I'm always in a mood for gay books) (hopefully)
Elinor Master of Gifs wrote: "I bought Red, white and royal blue recently so I'm in ! (reading mood shouldn't be a problem since I'm always in a mood for gay books) (hopefully)"Yay. Yeah I'm the same with Pride and Prejudice variations and sequels. Even in my worst slump I can enjoy those. Either that or I'll reread the Straight Guys series (soooo gay and SOOOO good) I read all 8 books (all that was out at the time) in about 3 days. I binged so hard lol.
Shall we set a start date of the 15th Feb? That way we could start on or just before valentines day if we are is the mood for romance or start on the 15th if we want to boycott it 😅 and still be well within the time limit for it to count for the competition.

Hi! I'm new to this group so I'm not entirely sure how the system works but it seems like everybody's asking for buddies in this thread and then requesting another thread to be made for the buddy read?With that being said, is anybody interested in reading Lore within the next two weeks?
Also Kingdom of the Wicked? I placed a hold at my library and it says it'll be available in around 12 weeks.

I just checked my hold and it actually got moved up a lot, so I'd be able to do it like next month ish, too. Was there any specific date that you had in mind?
Also nice to meet you!
That's exactly how it works Anna! Once you have a buddy go here to fill out a Google form to request your thread:https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
Also feel free to join in any existing buddy reads!

I'll be starting Kings of Paradise within the next few days, if anyone's interested in a grimdark read :)
Starting tomorrow, 01/23/21, a few of us are going to start reading The Last Hunter: Collected Edition series by Jeremy Robinson.We got the bundled audiobook from Audible for one credit. 5 books at around 33+ hours. You can opt to read the ebook on Kindle Unlimited.
We will start with the first book and go from there. Reading at your own pace, etc.
Looks to be a fun, adventure story. Should be good!
