October would be fine; like everyone else, I have plenty of other books to read until then!

I'm already down from 27 to 19 on this so I may actually make the June 19th date. I'll setup a folder for the series. The second book is already out and third due in December.

When doing a series we schedule a book a month most of the time. You can read it as fast or slow as you like. Just put comments in spoilers for the people keeping a slower pace.

Oh, ok. I was just checking to know. Given the size it'll take me about a week, I think. It would be my first Buddy Read too!

♥♡¢σσкιє♥♡ (Krystle)  (kookiekrysp88) | 14 comments Hi! I'm Krystle and I just joined.

Anyone want to read The Lives of Tao with me?
I have the whole trilogy so I would be open to reading all three of them if someone wants to.

I'm available anytime this month or next month so I can work around someone's schedule and I'm in no rush.

I've already started the first book, but I'm only a few chapters in and I will wait for any potential buddy readers. :)

Don't forget to ask Mary Sarah, she's been waiting for you to start that one, that said KotW is amazing, you and whoever you're BRing will most likely enjoy it!
