Shaitarn | 2185 comments @ Sara J. and Jess: Believe me, I'm not looking at starting it anytime soon! I was thinking of starting maybe in June or July. Would either of those suit you?

Tammie | 5949 comments Would anyone be interested in buddy reading Brief Cases in June?

Haha - I should mention that I am not based in the US. #koff anything that reaches me in under a month at affordable shipping prices is just nice. 😂

Ah Wheel of Time. Still my biggest book series hangover to date. Can't believe there isn't any more! T_T and one day I will tackle Malazan.

Hailee | 2762 comments I shouldn't really be adding to my tracker but I'm really in the mood for a bit of middle grade fantasy and I've had The Heroes of Olympus on my shelf for over a year now. Does anyone want to/have the time to read this series starting with The Lost Hero.

I never did finish that series....
I only made to through book 3, so I could start over to refresh my memory to finish it.

When were you wanting to start?
I could make it work starting either late this month or early next.
I personally don't think these take all that long to read.

Hi Sarah, to be honest all my months are as busy as the rest so I may as well start asap. Anytime after the 20th of March works for me so I'm happy to go with what works best with your schedule. Did you want to stick to one a month?

I hear you.
I would have to either get started soon, or wouldn't be able to until like September.

Want to say start March 26th?
And yeah one a month would be good.


message 2561: by Hailee (new)

Hailee | 2762 comments Sounds good to me. I'll ask them to set up threads for the series one a month.

Is it ok to have them all start on the 26th of each month?

Yeah, that sounds good!
A lot of the buddy reads I'm already planning are either early or mid month, so late in the month is good!


message 2563: by Hailee (new)

Hailee | 2762 comments Great, well I've asked the mods to set up the threads and updated my tracker. I'm glad to have added some easy going fantasy into the mix!!

Yeah, I loved Percy Jackson, but some of Heroes of Olympus came out while I was in grad school so I just never got around to finishing up the series.
I've been meaning to get back to it, so it will be nice to have someone to buddy read it with!

@ Sara J & Jess: How does 8th July for King's Dragon and the 8th on every month for the rest of the series sound?

I'm very interested in reading that one, but I'm hesitant to commit to anything because I'm going to be reliant on the library for a copy.

Are you free next month? I’m fine if you pick a day, the only commitments I have are audiobooks

Is April 15th good for you? I haven't planned BR's after that.

C.P. Cabaniss (cpcabaniss) | 1578 comments I am thinking of listening to the Inkheart books. Anyone interested?

Sarah | 494 comments C.P. wrote: "I am thinking of listening to the Inkheart books. Anyone interested?"

I read Inkheart years ago. I've been meaning to reread it and finish the series.

When were you wanting to do it?
Mid-April would be the earliest I could start squeezing them in, though June would be better because May is pretty full for me.


message 2576: by C.P. (new)

C.P. Cabaniss (cpcabaniss) | 1578 comments I can do June. Do you have a date that would be best?


message 2577: by C.P. (new)

C.P. Cabaniss (cpcabaniss) | 1578 comments I am also wanting to do a reread of the Artemis Fowl series if anyone is interested in doing those.


message 2578: by Sarah (new)

Sarah | 494 comments C.P. wrote: "I can do June. Do you have a date that would be best?"

Cool.
Would early June work for you? Say sometime the first week of the month? The buddy reads I already have scheduled are all after the 15th.


message 2579: by C.P. (new)

C.P. Cabaniss (cpcabaniss) | 1578 comments Yes, that should work. Can we say the 5th? I have a couple I might do starting the 1st.

Vaelin Hi,

I would eventually like to get to that series. I've had Pawn of Prophecy on my shelf for years, but unfortunately I can't start it right now.

C.P. Cabaniss (cpcabaniss) | 1578 comments Is anyone interested in reading Sins of Empire in the next couple of months?


Melissa ♥ Dog/Wolf Lover ♥ Martin | 1338 comments C.P. wrote: "Is anyone interested in reading Sins of Empire in the next couple of months?"

I want to finish the first trilogy (well, I read the first one so there are only 2 to finish) before starting this one =)


Melissa ♥ Dog/Wolf Lover ♥ Martin | 1338 comments Okay, so I have read the first two books in this series but I wanted to start over and get them finished. Is anyone interested.

Bazil Broketail (Bazil Broketail, #1) by Christopher Rowley Bazil Broketail

and here are a few I would like to start. I got them cheap at the used to store and I'm hoping to get the rest online.

A Turn of Light (Night's Edge, #1) by Julie E. Czerneda Rules of Ascension (Winds of the Forelands, #1) by David B. Coe The Heart of Myrial by Maggie Furey and The Runelords (Runelords #1) by David Farland

I want to finish the first trilogy before I start Sins of Empire too. Like Melissa, I've also read the first book Promise of Blood, but not the other two.

C.P. Cabaniss (cpcabaniss) | 1578 comments Melissa and Tammie: Do either of you have plans to finish that one? I'm not in a hurry to get to this one, so if there isn't anyone wanting to do it sooner I would be happy to wait until you guys have caught up. If you decide to continue into this series

I'm not opposed to finishing it within the next few months. I know a buddy read is starting for Promise of Blood, so if they continue onto the next two books I'll probably try and join those buddy reads.

I just checked the buddy read list and The Crimson Campaign and The Autumn Republic are scheduled to be buddy read in April and May so I went ahead and added those to my reading list. April is really packed for me, but I'll try and make it work. I can read Sins of Empire any time after May. I've got nothing in the middle of June.


message 2590: by C.P. (new)

C.P. Cabaniss (cpcabaniss) | 1578 comments Alright. Do you want to say June 20th for Sins of Empire? That way if you get behind it might still work. And we can always change it later.


Melissa ♥ Dog/Wolf Lover ♥ Martin | 1338 comments Okay, you guys remind me.

I'm going to TRY to get the other two read before the buddy reads in here because April and May are looking booked for me. Everything is booked for me!!!!!

Remind me of the June one though. 😊


Melissa ♥ Dog/Wolf Lover ♥ Martin | 1338 comments Message 2604 if anyone is interested in those too 😊

Sorry I just came over here and saw your message. I'm not getting my notifications 😫

I would love to read it 😊 I have the first one and I'm going to get the rest of them on thrift books. I think there were 7 of them. I can't remember. My brain.

I think it's a trilogy - the other four books (as far as I know) are another series.
