Yes I'm okay with the dates!
So we've got Bea, Jenna, Mayim and Laura for The Curse of the Mistwraith and so far no one seems to mind when the start date is...Anyone else?
@C.P. and Karishma: Great! I'm still waiting for the ok from Gargee and Zaara and then I'd ask for some threads :)
@Bea I'm fine with amy date you choose for the Silamrillion as long as its after September. October 20 sounds great, like you say. Ask for the threads. :)
Could we wait till November 20th for silmarillion?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!

Mayim and I are going to be reading Saint's Blood the third book in the Greatcoats series on July 1st if anyone else is interested in continuing the series.

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

I definitely plan on continuing with the fourth. Will let you know when we are planning a date for it.

Fine with Nov 20, Bea. Apos for the late reply...too many threads...
No problem :)Great, now we have all the dates, threads for the Lord of the Rings are already there :)
Having trouble reading lately would anyone like to read lady midnight by Cassandra Clare or outlander.
Yanique wrote: "I'm about to read The Grace of Kings by Ken Liu soon. Anyone interested in a BR?"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?
@Lillia - If you want to read the whole Outlander series I'll read it with you. I already read book 1 but am willing to do a reread if we go on with the series. :)
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?
Yanique wrote: "@Emily I’m planning on starting on the next few days. Is that too soon for you?"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. :/
Yanique wrote: "I'm about to read The Grace of Kings by Ken Liu soon. Anyone interested in a BR?"@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.
@Lillia - I have no problem with any date as long as it's not this week. I'm travelling right now and don't have the book with me. So starting with next Monday - any day. :)
@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.

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.

How's August 10th?
How's August 10th?
@laura I think Tuesday would he okay cause my work schedule next week is crazy. So July the 10th. Once I get confirmation from you then I'll ask for a thread.

August 10th is perfect! :)

anyone up for reading Warlord Chronicles by Bernard Cornwell and Newford by Charles DeLint with me after September?
I fancy re-reading An Ember in the Ashes in the next few weeks if anyone's up for it. I read it when it first came out and i'd like to give it another go before I read the sequel since I can barely remember anything about it other than I enjoyed it.
Manju wrote: "anyone up for reading Warlord Chronicles by Bernard Cornwell and Newford by Charles DeLint with me after September?"I am in for these 2 books...
I'm in for Newford Manju.@Charlie - I could reread Amber in the Ashes with you. I've read the first 2 books and 3rd one is left.
Manju wrote: "anyone up for reading Warlord Chronicles by Bernard Cornwell and Newford by Charles DeLint with me after September?"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.)
@Laura Yay! How about next Wednesday 11th July? I was thinking I'll probably read it quite slowly (which is a theme for me at the moment) so maybe about 30 - 40 pages a day and read it over a week or two.
@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.

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...
