Whoops, my mistake - Kings of the Wyld is in August, not September! *faceplam* Sorry.

Let's set it for 8th September then, as that works for all of us.

Niki, could you or one of the other lovely mods please set up Sword-Dancer as a buddy read for 8th September please?

[Margret, Caladan Brood Face]

Scott- that's number one move in the Dad book, saying/doing things just to get your girls to gang up on you lol.
My Dad used to wear nude colored shorts while mowing the lawn when my friends were coming over.

So, November 1st is good? Yes?

[Scott , Karsa Orlong]

Yes.

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

Yes, I'll set up sword dancer. :) I hope you all like it enough to make it to book 7 so I can join up haha.

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

Sword-dancer is up! :)

Thanks Niki!

[Emily]

Woohoo Thanks Nikki. This is a re read for me so I should make it to book 7 ☺

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

Yw! And sweet - I'm looking forward to it. :)

Oh cool, I'm doing Sailing to Sarantium as well. I always have trouble with this book, I've never finished it. I'm hoping a buddy read will get me into it.

Pardon my ignorance, but to my understanding the Buddy Read for the Game of Thrones is to start in December.

I bought A Song of Ice and Fire and A Clash of Kings (audiobooks) a while back and I have not listen to them. I would love to join the BD.

They were $2.00 a pop at The Half-Price Book store annual clearance. Humble brag.

[Angela, I'm Silverfox lost]

Cliffton, yes it starts in December. At this stage the group is looking to do one book from the series every two months. Thread below for the schedule.

It's my favourite series of all time, so hope you enjoy when you read it!

Hi Dawnette, welcome to the group. :) Are you planning to do a reread of the Oomerbhoy books? If so, this Buddy Read Invite is a great place to find someone to read them with. You need at least one other person to hop on board before a Buddy Read Folder is created, so let me know if an interest is generated and what your start date for the read will be. Thanks :)

[Liam]

Hey Adam, there is actually a buddy reading for Way of Kings still in progress! I'm still reading, and several other people are still reading as well. Let me get you a link.

Way of Kings BR Discussion

A bunch of us are still in the middle of it, so if you want to start it and start sharing your thoughts, go right ahead!

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

I'm certainly going to be reading it well into August, so great timing. :)

[Liam]

Would anybody be interested in doing a BR for the Illuminae Files? More in the Sci-fi realm, I think, but they are incredibly well reviewed books. I was thinking about giving them a shot in like two months or so, just because I have one or two (or ten) series I still need to wrap up. Everybody I know who read them loved it.

A little far off, I know, but I figured I'd put it out there just in case =].

[Ahdam]

I've read a sample of the "book" and while it does border on the YA (my worst enemy) I wouldn't mind joining it plus the format of the story really interests me

[Sara]

I've got Red Sister by Mark Lawrence if anyone is interested. I've never done a buddy read and would like some help walking through it! Anyone want to take on a newbie?
Red Sister

[Chris]

Sara, I really want to join you on that. I was planning to read it in August. Right before I came here to answer you, I got emails for 2 Beta reads I've been selected for (view spoiler)[ Age of War & The Disappearance of Winter's Daughter (hide spoiler)]. And they start Aug 1 & 8 respectively.

How soon could you start? If I jump on it tonight I might have time to get through most before I start the first beta on Tuesday. I've actually been on a pretty good reading pace of late.

Doesn't that make 5 straight books you've been selected to beta for Sullivan? What's your secret sauce, dirty pun not....well ok kind of intended. :)

[Chris]

Haha, indeed...

Yes, that's 5 straight. I do put a lot of thought into chapter by chapter critique. I guess it's working because they keep bringing me back :)

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

Congrats, Chris! That is so cool. :)

[Margret, Caladan Brood Face]

You rock Chris :)

[Sara]

Chris I'd love too! You're going to have to walk me though how to buddy read!

[Scott , Karsa Orlong]

At this point he'll be writing a character about you. Keep up the good work.

Those are so good. I would re read them if I had time.

Congrats Chris, that's really cool!

[Chris]

Thanks, ladies :)

That would be too cool, Scott.

Sara, it's pretty easy. We start reading together and make comments about how we're doing in a thread for it. Which is now here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

[Angel]

Does anyone want to buddy read Nevernight by Jay Kristoff with me?

[Emily]

Anyone interested in Halls of Law by V.M. Escalada?

Comes out on Tuesday.

[Angela, I'm Silverfox lost]

When were you thinking Liam? I've been wanting to read this for a while, but I'm pretty booked up with buddy reads for the next few months.

[Margret, Caladan Brood Face]

I would be interested in Nevernight, Angel

[Laura]

Even I would like to read Nevernight Angel.

[Angel]

Oh! Great! I've only just started it but do you guys want to read it maybe in August? Maybe in the beginning of it somewhere?

[Laura]

Margret and I have Tigana now, Angel and that will take a few days time since it is 800 pages long. I would like to go for Nevernight on around 5th or 6th of August but not sooner than that.

[Angel]

Alright! That will be perfect since I'm trying to finish Outlander myself

[Laura]

The Outlander series is on my TBR for this year. If you haven't read too much of it do you want to buddy read it with me? If you are reading it slower I could also do it in parallel with Tigana.

[Margret, Caladan Brood Face]

August might be a tad soon for me unless it's towards the end of the month

[Seán]

Margret wrote: "August might be a tad soon for me unless it's towards the end of the month"

I'm cool if you want to defer Pandora's Star for a while to free up some time, just to see if anyone else wants to start? I'm still cool to start it, but also have a ton of options that I'm in the mood for so don't mind at all :)

[Margret, Caladan Brood Face]

I'm already triple booked lol Sean so that would be great, but I still would need to do nevernight later as we seem to like doorstoppers!

[Seán]

Haha that's no problem - we can book it in for a quieter month and let you work through your list!

I now have the freedom to pick a random book off the shelf so who knows what I'm gonna end up with!

[Margret, Caladan Brood Face]

If it's ok let's just postpone Pandora's Star by 3 weeks?

[Ahdam]

If you guys are thinking about postponing pandoras star then I think I might join since I couldn't join due to overlaps and since I want to get into sci fi and this guys books got my attention then I think I'll join you guys for the read

[Margret, Caladan Brood Face]

Start in a couple weeks then fellas? That cool?

[Seán]

Sounds good to me!

Well I'm almost at the end of it so I don't know if I'll do any good, but it's really good, I do recommend you to read it one of these days

[Angel]

Margret wrote: "August might be a tad soon for me unless it's towards the end of the month"

Alright, what date do you want to set for it then? I'm free to do it on any day

Angela, I actually wasn't planning on reading them until near the end of September. I figured I'd bring it up now just in case I could spark some interest haha =].

[Margret, Caladan Brood Face]

Sept. 14th?
