I think we should do the full series I'll ask for the first book and if everyone likes it we can continue with the others :) :)

I've read it, but would be up for a re-read.
I say schedule it all now... people keep doing it, and it's easier than remembering to add them later once the months fill up... just pick a date and schedule the same date every month for 4 months, please...
On the material... I'm a sucker for time travel and alternate/parallel dimensions..

I'll request it for the 16th!
Does anyone fancy reading The Lightning Thief with me? I'm fully booked for the next few months so I was thinking sometime in or after April?
I'm thinking of rereading those, Charlie. And sometime April or after would work for me. You can pick a date.

I read that recently, so would happily join in for A Gathering of Shadows. Though I am booked until 2021 ;)
@Virginie - I also have the entire series and didn't get to read it yet. So I'm up for the BR. When exactly would you like "soon-ish" to be?
Laura wrote: "@Virginie - I also have the entire series and didn't get to read it yet. So I'm up for the BR.

I was thinking of doing 1 book a month or every 2 months, depending on how packed your schedule is.

I'm in for 'The invisible library', but for the second book, if you're gonna read it. I've read the first one and it' really good. Maybe I re - read along when it's planned.

If it's not in March, I'm in too !
Elinor and I planned a BR for La Horde du Contrevent in May.As the title indicates, it's a French book. It doesn't seem to have been translated in English. If there are others Frenchies around (or people crazy enough to have learnt our ridiculously complicated langage), come join us!
I love French! And I do study it on my own, but I don't know that I'm ready to tackle a full novel yet. I should probably start with children's books or something.
Hey, I'm not french, but I study it at university so I may give it a shot! :) the reviews look very promising, it's just a long one... :o

Sounds great, I'm already jam packed for Feb but I can read a few books at once :)

Ill be ready by the start of next week to begin reading it..........never done a buddy read before so not sure of the protocol or how to officially begin it etc.

How about 29/1/18???
So I’m checking again if anyone wants to read the entire Broken Earth trilogy starting with The Fifth Season. If not I could schedule books 2 and 3 ( Obelisk Gate and The Stone Sky) since there was interest in these two.
Also, I’m planning on reading The Grace of Kings too, any interest?

Yay! When would you like to start? I’m definitely thinking next month, but I’m flexible on dates.
To cut down on my self inflicted stress levels, I decided to rearrange some of my planned reads for next month and push them back. These already have buddy reads next month, but if you can't make that one let me know if you want to buddy read around these dates. A Shadow in Summer March 5th
The Thousand Names April 1st

If you do get a group together, you just need to head over to the thread Mods Please Add This Buddy Read, and ask for a new thread to be set up for the date you decide. :)

Perfect! I have some reads earlier in the month. What do you think about the 24th of each month for the three books?

Anni wrote: "Same Problem with Spellslinger for me... We can start a second round later Siobhan ;)"Can you do end February, Anni? Maybe 23rd/24th? :)
Or would you rather wait until later? July would be good for me.

Hey guys, I know I'm mad trying to squeeze in another BR this month but me and Laura are reading Legend by Marie Lu

I hope you both enjoy Legend! That's one of my favorite YA series. Champion is my favorite of the three.
