Hi all! Charlie and I are planning to read The Girl of Ink and Stars starting November 20th. Just checking if anyone would like to join?
For those of you who did not read Guns of the Dawn with us you really should put it high on your priority list especially if you're a Danielle Abraham fan. I still have 100 pages left but unless it falls off a cliff it's 5*'s from me and I think everybody else has given it a 5* as well with one 4*.
I will be reading a lot more of Adrian Tchaikovsky in the future.

I have Children of Time sitting on the shelf, but am definitely in more of a flintlock fantasy mood than a sci-fi one. I'll definitely grab Guns if I see it around in the next while.

I'm going to do Children of time soon. This was my first AT book and I'm a big fan now.

Siobhan wrote: "I'd like to read Children of Time sometime soon too!"I want to read it next year. I was not too impressed with Guns of the Dawn but still want to give the guy another chance.

At the rate I'm going I'll probably be looking at next year too.. Should we set up a buddy read?! :)
Silvana wrote: "I don't see why not, Siobhan. How's your schedule February or May?"I'm good for either of them as long as it's a bit later in the month. I seem to have lots of reads starting on the 5th!
Scott, would you like to join or do you think you'll be reading it sooner?
Siobhan wrote: "Scott, would you like to join or do you think you'll be reading it sooner?"
Probably sooner but you never know.

Siobhan wrote: "Do you want to say February then Silvana? :) maybe 16th?"Can we do it a bit later? I have Deadhouse Gates reread at that time....Maybe 23rd?

I'll be good to do it sooner if there's a few looking to do it before the end of the year.

You guys are determined to make me plan, lol!
I'd be in too! Its been on my TBR for awhile and I didn't get to it when one of my groups read it in August.

Awesome, yeah! I'll ask for a thread 20th Nov if that's cool for you.

Dec 1st works for me. Or I'm equally happy to wait for a bigger group if it's just the two of us looking to start early - I've plenty on the shelf to keep me going till next year!
Siobhan wrote: "I can do Feb 23rd! That's totally fine. Sarah, are you this year or next? XD"Next.
Feb 23rd works for me!

I'll let you know if I go early. I was half thinking of doing it in a few days.

Fab! Does anyone fancy requesting the thread? I think our lovely mods will be getting sick of me 😂 😂Please, stop me planning anymore reads! Haha.
Greetings fellow bookies !I will be reading The Tea Rose starting on Nov. 1st if anyone is interested
Siobhan wrote: "Fab! Does anyone fancy requesting the thread? I think our lovely mods will be getting sick of me 😂 😂Please, stop me planning anymore reads! Haha."
I'll do it, lol.
Don't want them getting sick of you 😂
We have what, three or four people for this?
Scott wrote: "I'll let you know if I go early. I was half thinking of doing it in a few days."No worries if you do - I've got The Blade Itself starting later this week, so I'll be jumping into that next.

Yep 3 of us so far I think. But you never know, others may join us.
Ohhh I also want to request a thread to our beloved mods for our buddy read of The Wars of Light and Shadow series :D we are only three so far but I hope others join us later. We plan to begin the buddy read around March or April so there is still time for people to join \(*0*)/
I think we could set it for March 15 as an approximate date Maciel, then change it later if needed. If the thread is there maybe more people will join. Would that be ok?

I'm a bit cooked on JA at the moment so that's far too soon for me. I might attempt it next summer. Hopefully you'll find some takers.

I'm starting The Blade Itself tomorrow but I'll try and fit it in! I may have to read both books at once.

I've just realised this is book 2 in the series, I thought it was book 1! Unfortunately I haven't read book 1 yet.

I can squeeze sth in between if you are reading it this month. Then we can read together
@Charlie/Betse: There's actually a Buddy Read of The Lies of Locke Lamora set up for mid-December... they haven't set up the follow-up BRs yet for Red Seas Under Red Skies or The Republic of Thieves, but I assume they will be around the same time in January & February... I'm planning to follow the discussion of the first book then in December and join in on the later books in January/Feb... I read The Lies of Locke Lamora myself this past April...

I've got a lot planned before Christmas so reading the others in the new year is a good idea.
