Sorry, I feel too booked up for these but you have some great reads ahead of you with All Systems Red, Pet Cemetary and The Vanishing Half!

Hi~ I'm up for trying Darkfever with you. Also, I just finished book 3 of the Murderbot Diaries but I'm toying with the idea of rereading the books before I try book 4, so I'd be happy to do that one too.

Great! What dates work for you? I'd be happy to start right away too, if you want :)

Soon-ish. I don't have any buddy reads planned for this year yet!

Unkindness of Magicians is on my TBR, wouldn't mind trying Pet Sematary (heard good things)... same with Timeline, wouldn't mind trying it...

Schedule is pretty wide open...

As much as I'd love to start right away, I've got three books I need to finish/start this week (one of them a really chunky book) so that might be a bit ambitious haha. Are you alright with starting February 8? Unless you want to start before then, which is perfectly fine! I'll just have to play a bit of catch up~

Also, which would you prefer to start reading first? Darkfever or All Systems Red?

I've got a few BR's planned this month. Is March the 1st okay?

I've read this twice already but I love it so much I'd definitely be up for a third attempt!

Yay! And that's a good sign that it inspires such love. I hope I enjoy it as much! Any preference on a start date?

message 6317: by Shaitarn (new)

Shaitarn | 2185 comments Would anyone be interested in reading His Majesty's Dragon/Temeraire? I have the first four books in the series waiting on my shelves.

I'd also be up for Dragonflight as I have most of the Perm books requiring my attention at some point.

February 8th is fine :) I'd suggest starting with Darkfever! I've been wanting to reread the series for a while. Is that ok for you?

Dragonflight is a beautiful book. I've read it multiple times. + sequels... You can't go wrong there, Shaitarn.

I shouldn't be rereading the Temeraire series right now but I love it so much, so I'm going to anyway 🙈. Can you wait until March to start it?


message 6325: by Siobhan (new)

Siobhan (poi5ongirl) | 8702 comments If it's March or later I might hop onto a Temeraire read as well! I love it so much!

Yay! I think we read it together the first time I read it, didn't we, in May 2016? (Can't believe its been that long since I read it)

And yeah fyi Shaitarn I'm okay with starting it after March as well, March is just the earliest I can start.

March or later is fine; let me know when wold really be best - maybe late March or early April?


message 6328: by Hailee (new)

Hailee | 2762 comments To be honest any time works fine for me. We could just say a start date of 22nd March? (Which is the last full week of March) But if either of you have a preference for something later I'm completely open.


message 6329: by Hailee (new)

Hailee | 2762 comments Oh I'm reading Dragon Mage (Rivenworld, #1) by M.L. Spencer over the months of February and March if any wants/has time to join me. Don't know when I'm starting it yet but it'll be within the next two weeks

Totally fine by me! No date preference :) Just hoping I'll have time to read.

Yes for the Temeraire - series! I've read it a couple of times as a BR here in the group, but never seem to finish the series. I think I've read the first 4.

22nd March works for me. Are you down for doing the whole series (9 books, I think)?

I am. Since I'm rereading Temeraire, I definitely want to reread the whole series 😊

message 6338: by Charlie (new)

Charlie (charlieridley) | 5750 comments @Hailee I'm pretty booked up so end of Feb/ start of March would be ideal for These Broken Stars if that's okay?


message 6339: by Charlie (new)

Charlie (charlieridley) | 5750 comments @Gabi I'm always up for a Harry Potter reread, just let me know when!

I'd also like to read The Darkest Minds and Ready Player One, ideally sometime in March or April.

That's fine with me. Shall I request a thread for the 1st of March? And we have a window of a week or so either side if we need a bit of flexibility.

I'll join you. I've actually started, but haven't gotten that far. Other review deadlines and life stuff had me set it aside. I'm looking to get back to it soon.

@Hailee and Chris - I'm also interested in Dragon Mage whenever you want to do it.


message 6348: by Hailee (last edited Feb 03, 2021 01:08AM) (new)

Hailee | 2762 comments @Chris and Jenna. That's great. Shall we set a start date of the 8th or the 15th? Which one works best for both of you?

Once we've decided I'll request a thread, unless you want to just set it up Jenna?
