No worries Saar. I hear yah. That might give the mods time to make a thread for us too. Do you know how to make a request Dany?

Fifth Season... another great book/trilogy... some people are turned off by second person narrators... I don't think that becomes a big deal until book 2, after some plot developments, tho?.. don't remember if it's a thing in book 1... if it isn't, I've just pre-warned you what to expect later on :D...

No, sorry, I don't know how to make one. I'm pretty new to this group hehe.

Katie K | 2600 comments No worries Dany! Here's the link to the discussion post describing how to do so. On this forum there is a link (connected to a google form) where you plug in all the info to add the read. Then the mods will get to it as soon as they can :D It's easier if you give them a few days in advance to add~

Hi~ I'd love to plan a buddy read (or several) with you. And oh wow, you have sooo many good choices! At the moment I'm most interested in:

- Flame in the Mist
- Girl of Snow and Glass
- Honor Among Thieves
- The City of Brass
- Truthwitch
- Spindle Fire
- The Hazel Wood
- Forest of Souls
- Incendiary
- Heart of Iron
- The Space Between Worlds

...I feel like I might have listed too much XD Also, I must confess that I would have added Aurora Burning too, but it's been a long time since I read the first book so I plan to reread that before picking up the sequel.

That's great Saar; does any time in June work for you? I was leaning towards the beginning of the month, but am happy to go with whatever works for you.

As of the moment, I'm pretty much open to any date from mid-June onwards. Do you have any idea which book you think you'd like to start with first?


These Violent Delights (Robin) | 14 comments @Gaea honestly I'm excited for them all lol... But probably Girls Made of Snow and Glass for starters if only cause I have had this book on my TBR for the longest :) Maybe June 18th would be good for that one?
