I'd be up for that, Saar! Another trilogy removed from the TBR pile!

[Silvana]

Anyone interested to read Embassytown by China Mieville? I am thinking May or June 2018.

I'd be interested. I've owned Perdido Street Station for years. Maybe reading a shorter book by him will help me decide whether starting that series is worth it.

[Hailee]

Would anyone want to read the Pendragon Cycle by Stephen Lawhead starting with Taliesin.

If there is interest I'm open to when we start, whenever people have an opening in there schedules.

Nice! Shall I ask for a thread for May 15th start?

I have read PDS but also want to look for BR for The Scar sometime next year (maybe in the third quarter). Pirates! :D

[Silvana]

I also have some stand alones that might be interesting for BR as you don't have to commit too much.

Hunter's Run by George RR Martin, Gardner Dozois and Daniel Abraham
The Armageddon Rag by George too. Suffice to say I am trying to finish his other fiction aside from ASOIAF and related books. Dude has written some awesome SF and horror too.
Roverandom by Tolkien
The Salt Roads by Nalo Hopkinson
Wylding Hall by Elizabeth Hand
Black Light by Elizabeth Hand


Let me know if anyone of you want to BR those sometime next year - preferably May/June onwards.

Hi I could squeeze it in then if that's the only time you can do but the beginning or the end of May would be better for me. Would either of those work with you schedule?

I'd like to read the Salt Roads with you around July

[Laura]

@Silvana and Hailee - I have Perdido Street Station, Iron Council, King Rat, The Scar and Un Lun Dun. - I would be in for a BR for any of them.

[Delitealex]

I'd like to read Perdido Street Station too preferably after May.

[Silvana]

How about The Scar for June? I can do any dates.

Delitealex wrote: "I'd like to read the Salt Roads with you around July "

Perfect. How about July 15th?

Hailee wrote: "Hi I could squeeze it in then if that's the only time you can do but the beginning or the end of May would be better for me. Would either of those work with you schedule?."

End of May sounds good. I'll ask the mods to make the thread.

[Delitealex]

@Silvana July 15th is good for me

[Laura]

I'm good with both May end for Perdido Street Station and The Scar for June. Any date is fine for me at that time.

noted, thank you!

Great I'll mark it as a definate on my tracker.

[Hailee]

@Laura and @Deitealex I'm not sure if I'll also have time to do Perdido Street Station as well but if I do end up having time I'll try and join in.

[Anni]

I am currently struggling to read Perdido Street Station, it isn't bad just a bit... difficult? If I still haven't read it till your Buddy Read I might also join :)

[Silvana]

Hailee wrote: "@Laura and @Deitealex I'm not sure if I'll also have time to do Perdido Street Station as well but if I do end up having time I'll try and join in."

I asked for a week in between both - it does not matter whether you need another week to finish Embassytown before PDS. We don't have to be too punctual. I know I don't :D

[Seán]

I'm in for Pedido Street Station, with next May sounding good to start.

Yay! When can you start? I can from March and maybe one book per month?

[Beste]

I'm in for China Mievilles books too

[Beste]

Do we have a certain date for Riyria book 2? and Stormlight Archive 2?

[Anni]

I haven't dared to make a suggestion so far, because I have so many buddy reads planned, but as it won't get better in the future I think it's better to plan ahead :D

Does anyone like to join me on
The Dragonbone Chair,
Furies of Calderon
or Just One Damned Thing After Another
sometime next year?

[Olivia]

I’d love to read The Dragonbone Chair and I’ve read the first Codex Alera novels and would like to continue with the series.

[Nyssa]

I’d be interested in Codex Alera. I’ve wanted to read them for a while. It would have to be in the 2nd half of the year for me though - in the fall.

[Delitealex]

I'd like to read Just one Damned thing after another April or August or later

[Laura]

I'd be in for Codex Alera. finished the first book also and would like to continue with the series.

I'd be happy to join the Codex Alera and Just One Damned Thing buddy reads.

I'd be up for Roverandom in June or July.

I would also be up for Codex Alera if done in June or later.
I've read Just One Damned Thing After Another, but would be up for more of the series if there was interest.

[Silvana]

@Sarah: how about end of July? 25th?

[Veronica]

I'd be interested in Codex Alera and Just One Damned Thing After Another.

[Ahdam]

I need to get to the 4th book so if for some reason I don't read it then I'll join you when you get to it codex Alera was one of my first fantasy books along with mistborn and riyria so I really enjoyed reading the series

Also Anni I hope you read the dragonbone chair we had a group read of it early this year and I still need to read the second book and so far it's currently on my favourite book list and I'm enjoying Tad Williams books so far

[Sarah]

Silvana wrote: "@Sarah: how about end of July? 25th?"

Sounds good to me!

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

I'd be up for a read of Dragonbone Chair. Both Chris and Ahdam have convinced me I need to read it sooner than later. :)

Loved codex alera.

Haha yes I saw the schedule after I posted that. I just don't want to give a definate yes and then have to back out last minute. I'm a member of several really active groups so I don't know what might come up later on. Committing to a standalone like Embassytown feels safer than committing to a trilogy that will take place over several months.

I'm due for a re-read. And I need to read the books 2 onwards of One Damned Thing After Another too.

//i may be signing up for too many things...

That's the norm around here, lol.

Story of all of our lives around here!

[Siobhan]

I'm up for The Armageddon Rag and Just One Damned Thing After Another. Bit lost on what's been agreed so will read whenever they're scheduled :)

[Anni]

Hurray! I didn't expected that there would be enough interest for all of them :D
Let's see, where to place them all...
@Delitealex, Shaitarn, Veronica, Siobhan what do you think of the 15. April for One Damn Thing after Another and one book a month onwards? Then we finish the series in December 2018 :D

[Veronica]

That works for me, Anni.

[Anni]

And for Codex Alera maybe late in August? 20.?

When do you like to start the Dragonbone Chair? Also late next year? November would work for me, but I think I could also squeeze it in somewhere if this is to late for you :)

[Sarah]

Late August for Codex Alera would work for me.

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

Surprisingly I don't have much scheduled in April, so I could fit Dragonbone chair in as early as that. July is also a good month.

[Anni]

February and March would work better for me. But if it is April, I could start a bit earlier cause I'm not a fast reader ;)

15 Apr il works for me

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

Between the two, march is the better bet for me. But I can wait until November if it's adding too much. :)

[Anni]

Both will work for me, we could wait for Olivia to decide :)
