Yes, that's what we were planning.
So is everyone ok with:
5th August for Fellowship of the Ring
5th September for The Two Towers
5th October for The Return of the King?

Yes I'm okay with the dates!

Anyone else?



I have my exams from the 1st to the 16th and i will need time to prepare.
If not possible no worries.

Start date doesn't matter for me - I have the first book sitting on my table waiting to read!

I'd be good with 20th November as well. What about you, Zaara?
(Sorry it's taking so long to fix the dates, I just want to find dates that suit everybody)

I'd love to join you guys for Silmarillion! I'm good with any date

If you guys get to the fourth, and last, book I'll read that one with you. That's the only book I haven't read yet.

Fine with Nov 20, Bea. Apos for the late reply...too many threads...

Great, now we have all the dates, threads for the Lord of the Rings are already there :)


I'm a maybe for this. I have BRs on the 3rd and 15th of July and again on August 1st....when were you thinking?

I read the first Outlander 15yrs ago... before I really got into romance... because Time Travel... I might join a series read now...
Nyxia which Niki recommended to me a while ago is on sale for Kindle today for $1.99 reduced from $9.99, the second book in the trilogy comes out July 17th. Anybody up for a read of book 1 in the first half of August?

It might be. I'm just finishing up a book now and have a BR starting on Tuesday. I can try to read it a bit but it will depend how long it takes me to finish the July 3rd read. :/

@Yani <3 <3 <3
This book was standing in my shelf for more than a year now. I'm in. August is fine for me too.

@Beste and @Emily I'm planning on starting this book in the next couple of days because I'm really in the mood for it now (When I say soon, I mean it). I'm a mood reader, it's hard for me to plan so far ahead for books, and I try to avoid it. that's why I try to schedule only a few days in advance.

No worries Yanique, I totally get it. I often have trouble as well planning so far ahead. As I said I have a buddy read starting tomorrow so it will depend how quickly i finish that (sorry I can't be more specific). It's one I've been anxiously waiting for so hopefully it's a fast read. See what Beste says and maybe something will work out.

I would be, but not the first week please. I have a BR planned already as well as a conference that first weekend.

How's August 10th?
How's August 10th?


How's August 10th?"
August 10th is perfect! :)

I'm good with that date. :)



I am in for these 2 books...

@Charlie - I could reread Amber in the Ashes with you. I've read the first 2 books and 3rd one is left.

I would be totally up for the Newford read (I love Charles de Lint - the guy is awesome!); which books are you planning to read? (I have about six of them, I think.)

@Beste and @Emily we can do August then, I just realized that August is next month (I know, I'm so out of it when it comes to the date). What dates work for you? early August for The Grace of Kings?
The Ember Blade
Any Jetty Kay fans up for reading the new Chris Wooding book on September 20th? First book in a new series.

Best time for me in August would be the 17th or later. Hopefully that's not too late, I already have two BRs early August, sorry. Otherwise you can start earlier and I'll join in when I can. :)

Cool with 5 October for Silmarillion, Bea..."
The 5th October was meant for Return of the King. Could we do the Silmarillion on 15th October? Because reading two Tolkien books at once is a bit much...
