is there a link for this month's buddy reads?


message 6364: by Charlie (new)

Charlie (charlieridley) | 5750 comments @Gabi did you request threads for March for HP, Ready Player One and The Darkest Minds?


message 6365: by Beena (new)

Beena (beenz) | 2196 comments Hey Charlie or anyone else for that matter, I'm starting Harry Potter today if you want in, probably gonna binge them. -Might not be able to do all 7 in 2 weeks before my next BR, so I'll see how it goes...

I'm in desperate need of a good comfort read right now, just lockdown and the weather and life being just work and home.... ughhh, I've had enough! I need to escape into a good book and Malice wasn't doing it for me unfortunately...

There's not a post with a list but you can click on the bookshelf here and sort by start date to see what's happening this month :) https://www.goodreads.com/group/books...

@Beena I'm reading a few different things at the moment so I wouldn't be able to start today I'm afraid but I hope you love your re-read :D


message 6367: by Beena (new)

Beena (beenz) | 2196 comments Cool JJ! I've made a Book Club thread for it; seemed to make the most sense, people are always re-reading HP

Yeah, no worries Charlie! Thanks! :)


message 6368: by slagathor (new)

slagathor | 40 comments Hi, I'm planning on reading The Broken Empire trilogy by Mark Lawrence, starting with book 1 in about a week or so (latest on March 8th) since a friend of mine keeps bugging me about it. :) Would anyone be interested in joining me?

Katie K | 2600 comments Hey! Just checking back in if you guys were ready for the Watership Down BR. Or are your book piles still pretty stacked XD

My book pile is pretty intense right this second but depending on when you wanted to do a Watership Down BR I'd be down to join. It's been a few years since I've read it and would love to do a re-read.


message 6373: by Katie (new)

Katie K | 2600 comments @Jessica ~ Sounds good Jessica! I know Chris and Barry were interested a month or so back. And seeing as I have the library book now...just re-checking to see if we have any time. Otherwise we can schedule for later in the year too :D


message 6374: by Saar The Book owl (new)

Saar The Book owl | 3095 comments Wasn't there a BR planned for Harry Potter? I can't find it :(

Its in the book club folder. Here's the thread: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...


message 6376: by Saar The Book owl (new)

Saar The Book owl | 3095 comments Ah, I'm used to look at the BR of the Month - folder. Thanks!

Gaea | 275 comments Hey~ did the starting date for Ready Player One get decided on?

Hey Katie.

The pile has gotten worse, but I could use a standalone break from it all. I fell so short on early year goals that there isn't a lot of rush on any of them anymore lol...

I have this on audio and it could be a good change of pace for me. So I'll be ready soon. Maybe a week from now? 3/15

Oh gosh. Well best of luck with your pile!!

Yeah, let's schedule Watership Down for 3/15. Hopefully that will help you with your lengthy reads. :D I'll make a request~


message 6380: by Chris (new)

Chris  Haught (haughtc) | 2348 comments Sounds good, Katie


message 6381: by Beena (new)

Beena (beenz) | 2196 comments Anyone interested in reading any of these, probably not in March but somewhere between April and July, they've caught my mood.

The Rage of Dragons by Evan Winter

The Gilded Ones by Namina Forna

Son of the Storm by Suyi Davies Okungbowa -this will be a new release on the 11th May 2021


message 6382: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth (fantasynerd365) | 1229 comments I know I talked to Mayim a little while ago about reading The Witness for the Dead when it comes out in June. Anyone else want to join in, maybe set the start date a few days after release? I also want to reread book one before reading book 2. The Goblin Emperor

Charlie (charlieridley) | 5750 comments @Beena I'm down for The Guilded Ones!

message 6385: by Beena (new)

Beena (beenz) | 2196 comments Cool guys :)

Charlie, is April good for you? Maybe somewhere near the beginning?

Jason, does sometime in May work for you?


message 6386: by Jason (new)

Jason | 168 comments @Beena I've got the 3rd poopy war scheduled for 25th April, so Mid May would be good for Rage od Dragons maybe start 10th May.

Katie K | 2600 comments Hey all! I'm back again after some reading to get things planned out for Kings of the Wyld. Would anyone be interested in reading this in April? Gaea and Meera I know you were interested a while back~


message 6392: by Marit (new)

Marit (marit-) | 124 comments Would anyone be interested in reading The Slow Regard of Silent Things? I don't really have a starting date/month in mind, so I'm open to suggestions if people have a preference :)

I've read it, but would be up for the second one if you continue


message 6394: by Katie (new)

Katie K | 2600 comments @Marit ~ That is such a good book! I've re-read it a bit recently, so I'm not looking to read it again anytime soon. But I hope you find someone~

@Chris ~ Oh! Thanks Chris! I'll keep you posted for the second~


message 6395: by Marit (new)

Marit (marit-) | 124 comments @Katie - Thanks! Hope I can enjoy it just as much

@Katie, I'm still interested!


message 6398: by Katie (new)

Katie K | 2600 comments Yay!! I’m glad you saw the message Meera. What date works for you in April? So far I have Skyward planned for the 27th. So would it be okay to start earlier in the month for our book?


message 6399: by Meera (new)

Meera | 30 comments Sorry I didn’t see it sooner Katie. Anytime in April is fine with me.
