Choko, I am starting to believe you never sleep! ;-)

[Virginie]

Laura, Choko and Shaitarn, how about March 5th for Shaman's Crossing, April 5th and May 5th for the next 2?
I can wait a bit if that's not OK though, I have plenty of side reads.

Iain is right - we are good whenever is good for you:) Just not Nov-Dec, since I try to keep those pretty open for life...:)

Good with me!!! I am in:)

Miche wrote: "Choko, I am starting to believe you never sleep! ;-)"

You are actually right... I have horrible insomnia and reading makes me at least feel like I am not wasting my time... But I might need an intervention too:):):):)

[Laura]

Why would I mind Shaitarn? It's always a pleasure reading with you. 😘

@Choko and Iain - Do you 2 never sleep?!

The date is fine with me Virginie.😊

I have insomnia once in a while and it sucks! At least you found a way to distract yourself. :)

Blink twice for intervention! 😉😉

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

I just show up for Buddy Reads unannounced now... have you seen me lately?...

I can sleep with ease... life just gets in the way... my struggle is avoiding OVERSLEEPING... lay down, box fan on lowest setting, and I'm asleep in minutes... relatively easy when I only leave myself 6hrs or so to sleep on work days... it's when I try to go to sleep super early on purpose that I struggle... usually every couple weeks I just come home from work one day and sleep until my next work shift...

Another easy way to fall asleep is lay down in bed and start reading with Kindle backlight... in short order the light makes my eyes tired and I fall asleep...

I swear I'm not trying to rub this in your face, Choko... just saying sleep gets in the way of my reading, and not the other way around :)

I know, you are so sweet! I love you guys and I really like chatting about books, but I am scared to comment on any Malazan, since it is close to impossible not to say yes or no to some of the guesses, and I am not going to spoil anything for them... SO, I decided I will just re-read and comment when appropriate and not spoilery:):):)

[Elizabeth]

Does anyone want to read Steelheart with me? Probably starting in the next week or so?

That's fine with me!

[Virginie]

Great! I'll ask for the threads to be set up.

[Anni]

@Elizabeth I already read Steelheart but I'm up for the sequels :)

Choko wrote: "Shaitarn wrote: "Choko wrote: "Shaitarn wrote: "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 ..."

Would you and Iain be okay with starting on 6th June and reading the other two on 6th July & August?

[C.P.]

I am hoping to start Ready Player One around the 19th or 20th. Anyone want to read with me?

[Hacen]

There's a buddy read planned for this on March 1st if you wanted to wait to have someone to read it with.

[C.P.]

Ah, must have missed that. Thanks! I'll probably wait for that one. :)

[Hacen]

It supposed to be Hailee, Anni and I. Just realized we never had a thread set up lol

[Hailee]

Lol yes that occurred to me a couple of days ago. But haven't followed it up and asked for one to be set up. My bad. But I saw that you've now requested this. Thanks. Looking forward to getting to this one

C.P. - We planned this buddy read to get it read just before the film came out at the end of March. Hope you can join us 😊

I am OK with this idea:):):)

[C.P.]

Yes, I will plan to join you guys in March for Ready Player One.

[Tammie]

Elizabeth wrote: "Does anyone want to read Steelheart with me? Probably starting in the next week or so?"

I've read the first two, but when you get to book three I'll read it with you.

[Sarah]

I am seriously beginning to think they are people in this group who never sleep!

Ready Player One was great, hopefully you guys enjoy it!

Elizabeth wrote: "Does anyone want to read Steelheart with me? Probably starting in the next week or so?"

That's on my TBR, but I'm so behind right now :(

[Silvana]

I am also very suspicious we have lots of vampires here. Let's hope they are not the sparkly types.

Hahaha! I wish!!! That would be perfect for my health:):):)

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

Not a vampire... I just work 9pm to 6am... I swear...

Charlie wrote: "Does anyone fancy Wizard's First Rule?"

Charlie and Laura, did we agree on reading this and when? I am very interested in reading this series... If you still are, of course:)

[Sha]

I'd like to read Deerskin sometime this year, and since Daughter of the Forest was my favourite buddy read to date I was wondering if anyone would be interested in another dark Fairytale retelling?

[Shaitarn]

Sha wrote: "I'd like to read Deerskin sometime this year, and since Daughter of the Forest was my favourite buddy read to date I was wondering if anyone would be interested in another dark Fairytal..."

I'd like to Sha (I do like Robin McKinley!), but would you mind waiting until a bit later in the year? I've seriously over-booked (no pun intended!) the first few months of this one!

[Sha]

I would be happy to postpone it. :D I'm not exactly under booked either.

[Sha]

When do you think you'll be able to fit it in?

[Shaitarn]

Sha wrote: "When do you think you'll be able to fit it in?"

I really looking at the end of May/beginning of June. Would you mind waiting that long?

Oh I must have missed Charlie asking about this. I asked about this a few months ago as I am reading this series with another group starting in May. Sounds like you'll be finished before I start but I'll be interested to read your thread when I get there.

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

I need to stay off this thread. I've signed up for too many (ones I genuinely want to read) and they keep coming. We're only 2 weeks in, lol. Pretty soon, Ima be like: so, I can fit that in April of 2019, how's that sound?

Tell me about it. I can't resist looking though. The problem is I own at least book one for so many series that it is hard to say no even when I know I can't fit it in. I had to resist joining in the read for The Clan of the Cave Bear. I own the first 5 books in that series but just don't have the time for it tjus year. In fact I don't really have time for anything else this year, if I'm being sensible.

[Laura]

@Choko - Charlie still didn't reply so I'm not sure. I'm going to read it this month but now I'm thinking to start next Monday so I can read Outlander first. Would next week be ok for you? Or do you want to start it sooner?

[jess]

Hey guys, anyone want to do Red Sister in February or March?

[Sha]

Sha wrote: "When do you think you'll be able to fit it in?"

Sure. I'm not in a hurry I have plenty of other books to read till then.

[Zaara]

@Jess...would you be willing to wait till April/May? In that case, I'll be very happy to read Red Sister with you :-)

[Zaara]

@Sha/Shaitarn...Deerskin sounds good for end of May/start of June...tou guys decide the precise date...i'm all wooop for another dark fairytale....

[Pat the Book Goblin]

Would anyone be interested in reading:
The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch or
Red Rising by Pierce Brown or
Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke?

[Zaara]

Hi Patrick, I'll read LoLL with you. Would starting on the 25th be ok for you?
Strange and Norrell is also on my TBR but I can only get to it in July. Hopefully you'll find someone else to read with, if you wanna go earlier. Unless you have other things and that one can wait a few months?
Lemme know abt the 25th of Jan and welcome to the group.

Red Rising trilogy is great. I hope you like it. Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell is good too.
