I'm hoping to make this one.
Saar and I are planning to BR The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy on or around June 1st. Anyone else interested is welcome to join us :D I have already requested a thread.Not planning on the whole series at this time. Just the first book.

I'll join you guys~ I've been meaning to reread the first book before trying to continue on.
Hi! So I've been wanting to read The Fifth Season by N.K Jemisin and I was wandering if anyone wants to BR. If you're interested, feel free to contact me.

I have been wanting to start this series for a long time, I think this is a sign I might just have to pick that first book up ;-) Will definitely be joining!

Dany wrote: "Hi! So I've been wanting to read The Fifth Season by N.K Jemisin and I was wandering if anyone wants to BR. If you're interested, feel free to contact me."Hi Dany, I'm interested. When do you want to schedule it?
Dany wrote: "Hi, Katie and Saar! ✨I was thinking this Monday, would that be to soon?"
That works for me, what about you Saar?
That's to soon for me. I'm wrapping up some other reads. But you can go ahead and I'll join a week later?
Saar The Book owl wrote: "That's to soon for me. I'm wrapping up some other reads. But you can go ahead and I'll join a week later?"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...

Heya, I would like to join in!

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~To Add Buddy Reads
Hello everyone, I am looking to set up a few buddy reads over the summer (June - August), I'm going to be quitting my current job end of May/ beginning of June and will have some downtime this summer.Sequels:
1st in a Series/Standalones
Book Box Books
Whew.. I know that is a lot, and there is no way I can get to them all this summer, but these are all the books at the top of my TBR that I am most eager to get to!

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.

So many good ones! I'll pay attention to any BR you have planned. For now I'm interested in The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes and The City of Brass. :D

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.

Do you have any idea which book you think you'd like to start with first?
@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?

June 18 for Girls Made of Snow and Glass~ And after that, maybe The City of Brass? Katie said she'd be interested in that too.

@Gaea & @ Katie would June 30th be okay for The City of Brass? Also, not sure how to set up a thread here for buddy reads, I've never done it before :)
yeah! the 30th would work for me!! And you can go to this link here and they tell you how to request a thread. It's a google form to fill out :DTo Add Buddy Reads
My local library is open again, so if anyone would like to read The Queens of Innis Lear, Seven Blades in Black or The Priory of the Orange Tree in the near future, probably next week, please let me know.
I'd be up for The Priory of the Orange Tree too! Though if you're starting next week I might join in a week or so later :-)
