Great, Siobhan! Does that time work for you?

[Siobhan]

Should be fine! :)

[C.P.]

Perfect. I'll ask for a thread at some point. :)

[Martin]

I wouldn't mind reading the silmarilion with you guys too. I am a slow reader though currently at 2 mines per page at average and trying to get back into it but I'll give it my best.

[Martin]

I am trying to get back into reading. i haven't read in years and am pretty slow at almost 2 mins per page. so I have started Dune! probably not the best choice to get back into reading but anyone fancy reading it with me and how does this work like how do you guys keep track of each others progress.

[C.P.]

It's great if you want to join us for the Silmarillion in December! And being slow is fine. :)

I love Tolkien but hate that book, too biblical in the descendants, just boring

I'm quite slow too so should keep pace with each other!

sounds good to me!

[Siobhan]

Would anyone be interested in reading Dragonmaster by Chris Bunch in October? Thinking about 8th. Then maybe do the rest of the series Nov/Dec?

[Martin]

if love to Siobhan but at 3.66 ratings dragobmaster seems to have too many bad ratings for me to want to get into it. it may be more for hard-core fans I think rather than me.

A 3.66 rating wouldn't discourage me.

A Shadow in Summer only gets 3.59 and it's book one of one of my favorite series. I'm not saying that's the case here but I usually go more by how friends who have similar tastes rate a book.

[Martin]

Thanks that's good to know. I left lots of of books on the shelf because it had a lower than 4.10 rating. maybe I'll see if it's reasonable on kindle then.

My average rating is 3.60. I give a lot of good books 3*'s because there's no half or quarter stars. If you give anything decent 4*'s or above it dilutes the ratings of the higher books IMO.

[Siobhan]

That's fair enough Martin, only worth reading if you think it sounds good/interesting. :)

[Ahdam]

Good people of Goodreads lend me your ears

(Throws ears at me)

That's disgusting now I wish to read The Lies of Locke Lamora as it has been sitting on my shelf for so long that I almost forgot it if it wasn't for Scott and since a lot of us are doing BR's on some well known fantasy books i.e. Mistborn , Name of the wind and game of thrones so why not add this to the mix.

I wish to read this in mid December preferably the 15th because I definitely don't over do this stuff so who will join me on this epic quest of Ocean 11 and swearathon or so I'm told who will ride with me to the death and leave victorious now WHO IS WITH MEEEEEE

(Input Cricket sounds and I hang my head in shame)

I'm in buddy, and I've got all three books already! Cricket sounds are good, either clunk of the bat or click of the wikets! It's all good!

[Chris]

I was just thinking last night that i need to reread all 3 of those. I'd like to have a release date on #4 before i commit, though.

Brilliant I've got all 3 books as well I'll ask the mods to add it later just so I can see if there are any other takers as well because I wanna do all three books

Haha....I did read a recent interview with him though and it sounds like he's relatively close...

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

I don't believe it... must see link to interview. ;P

[Chris]

I'll see if I can find it again...

[Chris]

Here it is: http://www.helsinkitimes.fi/culture/1...

I was beginning to think I'd dreamed it lol

The answer still sounds wishy-washy.

Thanks Chris!!

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

Omfg. There's supposed to be SEVEN books in the series. I can't. I just can't.

...but you know I will.

I'm in! :)

[C.P.]

I'll probably join for that one as well, Ahdam. I've been meaning to read it for ages. I had it from the library over two years ago and read a couple pages...then stopped, for no reason.

At that pace you can still catch up

[Laura]

I'm in with Siobhan for Dragonmaster :)

[Ahdam]

Brilliant would you guys be up for reading all 3 books with one book for each month

Count me in!

Assuming I like the first, I'm good with reading on that schedule.

I have the books sitting on one of my shelves (I read the first years ago), so I'd be up for doing all three!

Same here

I have started to comment, then deleted it like four or five times now. I have had these books on my shelves for years and really, really want to read them. However, I am realistic about how long it takes me to get through physical books because of the lack of time and the persistent eyestrain injury (about a book a month - yeesh). So now that I've made a sufficient disclaimer about how much I suck at physical book buddy reads, I would love to try to join you and Laura for this one. ;P

October 8th would work great for me. Shall I set it up?

Yes Niki that would be great!
I'm not the fastest reader in the world either. All you can do is go at your pace and we'll discuss bits we've all read. Happy to have you joining us :)

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

Sweet, thanks! :) I'll set it up.

[Maciel]

Hello! I'm new to the group :) I'm going to start the expanse series. Is there anyone up for reading it? xD

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

Hi Maciel! Welcome to the group. :) we actually already have a group starting that series Nov 24th-ish. Here's the link to the folder where the discussions will take place.https://www.goodreads.com/topic/group...
If someone wants to read it with you sooner, we'll set you up. Otherwise, I think the group read is going to be a good one if you can bear waiting. :)

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

Sorry, trying to post the link on my phone and noticed it just hopped back to the homepage. Here's a link to the Leviathan Wakes thread. https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
You can find the rest in the Corey - Expanse folder. :)

Sweet. I'm looking forward to this series.

[Chris]

Me too. I loved the first one...twice. And season 1 was terrific.

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

I've been saving the TV series for a rainy day so I can binge watch it. I did catch the first episode though, and I was delighted to see my favorite character introduced early. You know who I mean hopefully… :-)

[Laura]

There is a tv series for this one? could you guys please tell me the name of it? I honestly didn't know and would like to watch it.
