That would be great! How does starting November 1st sound? :)

[Margret, Caladan Brood Face]

.....and doorstoppers are kind of my *jam*

Oh that pun felt so good

[Laura]

hey Daph! nice to see you here! I've been wanting to read Sevenwaters for a long time also and this would be the perfect excuse. I'd like to join you too in November.

Great! Can't wait.

Did someone mention there will be a buddy read of the Percy Jackson series? I would so like to join in that whenever/if it happens!

Nour wants to read it but I don't think there is a buddy read set up for it yet.

Loved it. :)

I might be interested by the time you get to the Void trilogy.

Hello Daph! I'm interested in reading the series but there isn't any buddy read for it yet :) Can you tell me when/if you are planning to start the series? I would be happy to join you!

[Margret, Caladan Brood Face]

Ok! I'll just wait to hear from Sean and Nikki. As you know I'm fine doing the lone wolf thing, just trying to be a Scott level Mod

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

Pandora's on my radar, but not for a while. I just have too many going on at once haha. I think I'm more interested in starting Scalzi's Old man's war or Viehl's Stardoc series before that one.

Too many books.

I was thinking maybe August or September of this year but can read whenever you're ready. :)

My college starts again in July so I was hoping to read it before August but I understand if you're busy or it's too early for you, even if you read it after me I would definitely join the discussion :)

What if we read the first 2 books this month (so starting ASAP) and the final 3 in July? Would that work?

[Seán]

I'd be cool to start Pandora's Star anytime after July, the only sci-fi series I have on the go now is the Expanse and I'm nearly up to date on that.

[Margret, Caladan Brood Face]

I'll set a tentative date for Aug 1st for Pandora's Star, subject to library holds etc. we can always change it if needed

Sounds good - I have the book on my shelf so am happy to work around when others have access to it.

Awesome. Let's start Monday; that will give me some time to read the first book at least. How do we get a thread made or do we make it ourselves? I am still figuring things out lol

Sadly, I'm new to this too. This is my first buddy read xD I think we ask a mod to make a thread? Wait I'll ask and get back to you.

Here's the thread

[M.E.]

I'm going to start Aideil: The Shattered World pretty soon (a YA Fantasy Epic that was just published today) if anyone wants to Buddy Read with me :)

I'm also picking my way through A Clash of Kings and would love some company on that end as well!

[Margret, Caladan Brood Face]

Hello M.E.!

Congratulations on the publication of your book, and I hope you find great success as an author.

If you would like to promote it or host a read-along, please instead start a thread in the self promotion folder :)

Do you have a date on the kindle release?

Clash of kings is excellent.

[Frank]

Have read Pandora' Star and Judas Unchained, but never got to the Void Trilogy. if they are done I am in. Unless you are referring to The Abyss Beyond Dreams, and A Night Without Stars (Chronicle of the Fallers), then I believe you have to read the Void Trilogy first.

By the way would the group consider a reading of the Night's Dawn Trilogy? Always wanted to read them.

[Ahdam]

I saw the reality dysfunction in the bookstore and I was thinking "Jesus that is a big book" but I do want to read Hamiltons work eventually so I may join in on one of the reads hopefully

[Frank]

That's only book one, the other two are doorstoppers as well.

[Ahdam]

Hmm to be honest I don't know which series to read but I'm really drawn to night dawn because of big book= big things but are the 2 series related or can I read them separately

[Margret, Caladan Brood Face]

We are starting with Pandora's Star Aug 1st, then moving through the author's major works chronologically (well, I will be)

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

... maybe.

[Frank]

Night's Dawn was the first major space opera series written by Hamilton, which followed his Greg Mandel trilogy. .
The Commonwealth books came after.

[Frank]

Margret wrote: "We are starting with Pandora's Star Aug 1st, then moving through the author's major works chronologically (well, I will be)"
Is there a schedule?

[Margret, Caladan Brood Face]

I'm not great with scheduling, and only one person so far has committed to read Commonwealth with me so I suppose I'll just see how things go. I guess I'll have to read the other books before we start in Aug!

[Frank]

Well I read the first two Commonwealth books, but would join after that.
Night's Dawn, I have never read them either, and would love to do a buddy read of those.

[Margret, Caladan Brood Face]

I'm going to start Nights Dawn tonight

Hi, I was wondering if anyone would be interested in Buddy reading The Books of Pellinor by Alisson Croggon. I've already read books 2-4 a few years ago, but since I've finally acquired the first book The Naming I plan on rereading the series. I don't have the new prequel The Bone Queen but I might be getting it soon.

[Laura]

I would be interested in the Books of Pellinor. But I don't have the prequel either.

That's my favorite YA fantasy series ever. I've read all of them except the prequel. I would be interested in buddy reading the prequel if and when you get to that one. And for people who tend to not like YA, I feel like this series is far above most YA. I wish I had time to re read the whole series.

I was looking through my collection of novels on my bookshelf for something to read before we start The Wheel of Time group reading and I've settled on Peter Brett's "The Warded Man". I've just flown through the first sixty pages being highly entertained along the way. If anyone cares to join me, let me know!

There's a thread for it already and I'm sure many who have read it will reply if you post there.

Oops, sorry! I didn't realize that Scott, my bad.

[Scott , Karsa Orlong]

No worries at all. With how many folders we have I doubt the mods can name them all. For future reference go the the bookshelf and search and then click on view activity. It will show you all the folder where this book, or any, are being discussed.

[Chris]

Thanks for the tip! I actually found it by using the microscopic search bar on the top right of this page by typing The Warded Man. Then just clicked on the proper link and posted there 😊

[Scott , Karsa Orlong]

Sweet, another great way to do it.

[Solseit]

I remember we have a buddy read in December 2016 of The Waking Fire by Anthony Ryan but I cannot find the thread any longer - I might be blind too.

Since The Legion of Flame is about to hit the stores, should we continue reading it? I remember I was completely blown away by the first one!
