I'm reading some of those but the only one I'm currently caught up on is Alpha and Omega. I'll join in on that one and if I catch up on any of these:
Kate Daniels
The Others
Witchlands
I will buddy read those with you too.

I'm reading Malice at the moment (about 40% in) and it is so good. Well worth reading!

When do you want to schedule a Burn Bright read?

I'll just make a note of the other series and check back, unless somebody else responds... I assume you only need to read Windwitch to catch up with Witchlands?... since there are only 2 books so far...

I'm good for starting it in March after it's released, or if not March then my buddy read list is clear right now from June until the rest of the year.

Yes, I only have to read the one book for Witchlands, and only one for Kate Daniels. I'll try and get them caught up in the next couple of months.

I'm interested. May would be best for me.

Id like to read this too what date were you planning Feb or later is good for me

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

Another question for Malice: do we want to set up the whole series or just the first book? I think I'd be up for all of them.

[Miche]

For Malice

Yay! I am very happy there are still people interested.

I am good with a start date in April/May/June for Malice. So I will let the majority decide it. :)

@Niki, we can set up the whole series. One every month/45 days or even two months would be good for me. I know people are committed to a lot of buddy reads already, so it is ok if we dont do them back to back. :)

I'll set up a "proposed schedule" thread. 1 every 2 months or so is music to my ears because they're a bit long and not available in audio (aside from the first one). Great pick for a read, Miche! :)

Thank you, Niki!

[Silvana]

I predict most members' BR schedules for this year will be already full by the end this month :D

[C.P.]

I have to slow down on planning buddy reads. I really overestimate how quickly I can read.

[Angela, I'm Silverfox lost]

I do that all the time as well C.P. I've taken a much more relaxed approach this year. At least trying to.

[C.P.]

Hopefully we can both do better!

[Sarah]

I have the same problem. I just made myself seriously reassess a couple days ago.

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

I don't know what you guys are talking about... I'M FINE... I've only got 16 Buddy Reads for January now... more more more

[Silvana]

You are our beacon of hope, Iain!

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

Why do I feel like you guys are about to stage an intervention...

[Miche]

I can't manage too many buddy reads at once. I try to confirm two per month and attempt the rest.

[Sarah]

Iain wrote: "Why do I feel like you guys are about to stage an intervention..."

It does sound like you might need one...

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

@Miche: I only read one book at a time, but I read it fast... 24-48hrs max usually... 200-400 pages/day...

Only exception has been the 2-3 days I spent on Gardens of the Moon...

It helps that most Buddy Reads have been short-ish this month...

@Sarah: I've mostly just replaced my free reading time with more Buddy Reads... only off-plan books I've been reading this month are Nightside and Vorkosigan Saga...

[Miche]

Cool, Iain. :)

I normally enjoy buddy reads for longer books and mostly grimdark and epic series. Other styles I prefer to read alone at my own pace without making notes.

Malazan books takes me at least twice longer than any other book of the same size.

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

Yea... as fast as I read, I don't stop and comment much... mostly on breaks at work and when something big happens... so I'll be like 33-40% done: some thoughts in spoiler... 66-80% done: more thoughts... done... and sometimes those 3 comments will happen before anyone could comment on the first one...

@Tammie: I scheduled Burn Bright for March 13th... gives us a week after release to get it... but release day will still count for the competition, barely, if you can't wait...

How about sometime in March? I was thinking the 15th?

I'd love to join for alpha and omega and Kate Daniels.

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

Burn Bright has been scheduled for March 13th already... I'll request Magic Triumphs for May 15th... same general idea... give a week to get a hold of the book, but starting early on release day will still earn bonus points if you want... I'll try and wait for the 15th (this one will be harder to wait on than Burn Bright... being the finale and all)

[Delitealex]

@Charlie March 15 works for me

Fab, I'm super excited for Magic Triumphs!

[Charlie]

Delitealex wrote: "@Charlie March 15 works for me"
Excellent, I'll request a thread!

[Hacen]

I'll join for Magic Triumphs if I'm caught up by then.

[Tammie]

That sounds good to me for Magic Triumphs. I'll should be caught up by then.

[Charlie]

Does anyone fancy Wizard's First Rule?

[Laura]

I do Charlie. This month. So I can finish with the series this year.

[Shaitarn]

Would anyone like to read the Milkweed Triptych starting with Bitter Seeds? I've read the first one but want to finish all three this year. I'm not looking at reading them until June (the first half of the year is already getting pretty full!)

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

Jeffrey, it looks like your profile is set to private, so I can't see what's on your shelves. Do you have a few books you're more eager to get to than others? :)

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

Cool :) I can certainly understand the perks of keeping a profile private haha.

I don't see anything on my immediate radar. How are you liking the Miss Peregrine books? I've been eyeballing those for a while now.

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

Sweet, thanks! I mostly read fantasy, but I love it when books I infuse other genres like you mentioned.

[Charlie]

Laura wrote: "I do Charlie. This month. So I can finish with the series this year."

Fab, how about we start on Monday?

[Virginie]

Is anyone interested in reading the Soldier Son trilogy by Robin Hobb, starting with Shaman's Crossing?

[Laura]

Monday is great Charlie. Will you ask the mods for a thread or should I? And should we fix the rest of the books also one a month? Or do you want to wait for the rest till after we finish book 1?

[Laura]

I already read Shaman's Crossing Virginie but I can join you for the remaining 2 if you wish.

[Choko]

I am very much willing:)

Me, me, me!!! I have had the series and had no one to read them with:):):)

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

I thought about reading Milkweed a year or 2 ago... I'd be interested...

Great, when would you like to start? I was looking at the end of May at the earliest, would you be okay with waiting that long?

[Shaitarn]

Virginie wrote: "Is anyone interested in reading the Soldier Son trilogy by Robin Hobb, starting with Shaman's Crossing?"

Hi Virginie, I'd like to finish the Soldier Son trilogy so would love to join you and Laura (if she doesn't mind, of course!). I've got plenty of reads already lined up for the next couple of months, but I'll always make an effort to squeeze in Robin Hobb!

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

I'm pretty sure me and Choko can keep ourselves occupied nearly indefinitely, waiting for when is most convenient for you guys... we just join everything...

[Miche]

Iain, we might need to stage an intervention. ;-)

I thought you were done committing to new buddy reads, lol. :)
