I've read The Invisible Library, but would be up for reading the rest if you guys do the whole series.

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 read that recently, so would happily join in for A Gathering of Shadows. Though I am booked until 2021 ;)


message 2218: by Laura (new)

Laura (lauradragonchild) | 6554 comments @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?

Would sometime around the 10th of Feb or March be OK with you? I was thinking of doing 1 book a month or every 2 months, depending on how packed your schedule is.


message 2221: by Laura (new)

Laura (lauradragonchild) | 6554 comments 10th of Feb is fine for me Virginie. And we can do 1 book a month. :)

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.

message 2230: by Virginie (last edited Jan 21, 2018 11:23AM) (new)

Virginie | 6109 comments 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!


message 2231: by C.P. (new)

C.P. Cabaniss (cpcabaniss) | 1578 comments 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.


message 2232: by Angus (new)

Angus | 152 comments 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

Yanique Gillana | 2864 comments Mod
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?


message 2237: by Delitealex (new)

Delitealex | 403 comments I'll read the broken earth trilogy with you

Yay! When would you like to start? I’m definitely thinking next month, but I’m flexible on dates.


message 2239: by C.P. (new)

C.P. Cabaniss (cpcabaniss) | 1578 comments 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?


message 2245: by Delitealex (new)

Can you do end February, Anni? Maybe 23rd/24th? :)
Or would you rather wait until later? July would be good for me.
