Yes certainly - they're there for your enjoyment. A perk of a new thread is that it gets a fresh spot on the schedule and can generate interest for a bigger reading group, but seeing as you're starting today the old thread is just fine. :)
I'll certainly be interested in your comments/conversation as I just read it last month. Continuing with book 2 soon :)
Would anybody want to read The Last Unicorn!?I was thinking later February or March because of everything else I wanna read first.

I'm in! Feb or March would work for me. See if anyone else wants to join and has a preference?

That's two!
Anyone else?

Date set this month, off the top of my head I think it's the 24th? Not too long for you to catch up, but obviously it will take us some time to get through Well of Ascension so you can just jump on as soon as you can :)
Hey guys so after finishing my 1st Potter book I can dive into Mistborn
properly now starting today. I know one more person would like to read it with me and ive said i may be very slow as i dont want to rush it but to enjoy the world. If anyone else likes to join let us know we will be using the old thread for this read.Just a question is there a quick way for me to pull up that thread and post in there without having to search for it through all the threads when i want to post something?

I'm in!
I hoped you girls would join! Can we say 17th Feb? If that doesn't work feel free to suggest a better date :)
Would anyone be interested in reading the Forgotten Realms Harpers series, starting with The Parched Sea? They're all single, stand-alone novels by different authors (of different levels of writing skill, it must be said) and fairly light reads.

I'm in ! I need to read it for a challenge next year, so that's super.
Looks like we've got a team together then, hooray!I'll request it added for the 17th of February if that's cool with everyone?

Maybe just save it in your favourites? :) I just keep tabs open on my phone for ones I'm checking regularly xD
Haha, yes! But to be honest I wouldn't have joined if this was a longer book or a series. I plan to (fingers crossed) only join Buddy Reads for Series I already own, at least until I get my pile of unfinished series down... ;) And as the Standalones are rare here I hope my Tracker will be fine.

Honestly that is what I do! These buddy reads are such a great motivator for me to get through my owned books. Something might sit on my shelf years before I get to it, but if you suggested it tomorrow I'd be like, I own that! Great opportunity to read it! :D I love it.

Figured I'd ask this again.Anyone interested in a buddy read in
It comes out this month, and I'd really love to read it with someone else who's into the series and has been looking forward to it.

Would anyone be interested in reading the three Master Li and Number Ten Ox books, starting with Bridge of Birds? I have read these before, but when I thought about it I was shocked by how long ago it was and I'd like to read them again.
Morte- if you decide to not read it immediately after release day I may be able to catch up and BR with you.

:D can we be Tempests and Slaughter buddies? Do we need to recruit more people first? Is there a form I need to fill out? (I have no idea how his works)
Margret wrote: "Morte- if you decide to not read it immediately after release day I may be able to catch up and BR with you."Sure. When would be a good month for you?
Sha, as long as there are two people wanting to do a buddy read, then you are all set to have a buddy read thread for the book created :-). Usually you'll find some more people do join once a thread is created.

If you're cool to wait for a little bit so I can grab a copy, I'm definitely in for that, and indeed any FR series :)
I would also be very tempted to re-read Anathem - it's one of my top-ten books ever, I want to see if that still holds true after the few years since I've read it!

Edit: I like how they're all stand alone. I don't like one, I can just bow out and come back next month.
Would love to do this with a TON of forgotten realms books :D
