That's fine for me. I'll ask for the thread for the first book. After that, we can look for the other books?
I would like to read A Dark and Hollow Star as soon as I can after it comes out on feb 25 (hopefully my copy will not be taking forever to arrive), are there other people interested ?
I have a few books I'd like to read this year. It would be great if someone wants to join me for a buddy read :)If you're interested in any of the books, let me know what dates would work for you!
Fantasy:
-An Unkindness of Magicians
- The first 5 books in the Fever SeriesDarkfever (reread)
Sci-Fi:
- All Systems Red and if i I like it, the rest of the series as well - as a binge read ;)
- The Host (reread)
- Timeline
Horror:
- Pet Sematary (this will be my first King book)
Literary Fiction:
- The Vanishing Half
YA:
- Letters to the Lost (reread) plus sequel/companion (new read)

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 :)

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?

anytime in February?"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?

Ooh, I could join this BR in March too.😊
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.

Yes, March 1st is great :) I'll request a thread!
Gaea wrote: "Angela Jr. wrote: "Gaea wrote: Also, which would you prefer to start reading first? Darkfever or All Systems Red?"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.
Shaitarn wrote: "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 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?
Siobhan wrote: "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?
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.
Oh I'm reading
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
Hailee wrote: "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 complete..."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.

Thanks!

I found virtually the whole set in a charity shop about two years ago, so it's about time! :D
Shaitarn wrote: "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 😊
Shaitarn wrote: "I found virtually the whole set in a charity shop about two years ago, so it's about time! :D..."Cool.
Anyone wanna read: Maze Runner
Darkest Minds
Harry Potter
Hunger Games
Divergent
Ready Player One
these are the books i can get my hands on. Any date works for me but if anyone wants to we would want to start on a weekend. :)
@Hailee I'm pretty booked up so end of Feb/ start of March would be ideal for These Broken Stars if that's okay?
@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.
Charlie wrote: "@Hailee I'm pretty booked up so end of Feb/ start of March would be ideal for These Broken Stars if that's okay?"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.

Cool! I'd be fine to read them then!
@Gabi is Snippy, @CharlieIf you guys are reading Ready Player One in March/April, I'd love to join you!
Hailee wrote: "Oh I'm reading

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.
@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?
