I'd be interested in the Stormlight Archive for July 1st and maybe the Stone Sky in August. I haven't done a buddy read here before but I'd love to give it a go. Maybe I should have started on the introductions thread ... haha I figured I'd just jump right in I guess :)

I'll setup a folder for it. I think starting in August might work better for me as well. I'd love to read book 3 when it comes out but I'm overbooked too.

I would LOVE to read the Stone Sky with y'all! I have another couple of buddy reads scheduled so I may or may not be able to join - but I'll keep an eye on the thread and crash the party if I'm able to read it when you guys start.
Shelly - awesome if you join us for one, maybe both. :) it looks like the Stormlight one is going to be a nice big group. Welcome to your fist BR signup!
Angela and I were thinking about doing a buddy read of Behind the Throne in July or August. Is anyone interested in joining us?
Ooh, that actually sounds really interesting! Not sure if I'll be able to fit it into July/August since I've already jumped on a pair of buddy reads but def adding it to my queue
Hmm the premise sounds interesting I wouldn't mind joining been wanting to read more science fiction. I think august will be good for me Hacen

Angela wrote: "Hacen shall I put Behind the Throne down for August?"Yea that's good with me. I don't have anything planned for august yet 😊
C.P. wrote: "Does anyone want to read Theft of Swords or Storm Front in June or July?"I can read Storm Front in July
I've had storm front on my shelf for over a year I would love to join and while I have read theft of swords I wouldn't mind discussing the book with you while your reading it if you want
I'll take part in any discussion for Storm Front. I won't buddy read it at this stage as I'm up to book 10 in the series. Slowly making my way through the series.
Hacen, Ahdam, and Twila: So let's say July for Storm Front. Any day that works best for you guys to start? Any date is fine with me.
C.P. wrote: "Hacen, Ahdam, and Twila: So let's say July for Storm Front. Any day that works best for you guys to start? Any date is fine with me."Early July or late July would be best for me. I've already got a buddy read planned for July 16th.
I think somewhere around the 10th would be best for me since I've got buddy reads on the 1st of July which are big books and another on 18th if that's okay
Hey y'all Ahdam and I were thinking about reading Steelheart in August or September depending on who all is interested and their schedule.
Perfect, I'll ask for Storm Front to be added for July 10th. I will join discussion for Steelheart. Not sure I will have time to reread (though I would like to), but I'm always up for talking about it. :)
I plan to read The Silmarillion at some point. I'm thinking August or September. Does anyone want to buddy read it?

I've read it several times. A darker perspective than LOTR but very good at building the history.

Not at this time. There's a Six of Crows thread. Worst case if there's no takers you can read the spoilers and make comments and people who have read it will follow up.

Thank you!
Nour wrote: "Anybody interested in reading Percy Jackson & the Olympians, TMI, TID or Six of Crows series?"I would if I hadn't already read them.

Which series do you prefer? Which one do you recommend me to read first?

Thanks for the info! I'm looking forward to reading it. It's been a while since I've read any Tolkien. Glad to hear you enjoyed it though.

I liked Six of Crows the best, so I would recommend reading that one first. TID would be second. I liked TMI but got tired of the books after book 4. It was originally a trilogy and I thought it should have stayed one. I have not read Percy Jackson, I'm just not interested in reading that one.
Six of Crows and Percy Jackson are both great. I was never able to get into TMI or TID. If I had time for a reread right now I would read Percy Jackson with you, Nour. I just don't think I can fit them in.

I've read all except six of crows, and each one was a fun series. My fav of them is probably Percy Jackson. :) good luck when you get around to them - you'll have to let us know what you think! :)
