message 3052: by Laura (new)

Laura (lauradragonchild) | 6554 comments @Manju - Could you set on the 12th or 13th please? I have the Wars of Light and Shadow on the 15th of each month.

@Emily and @Beste I will go ahead and request it for the 10th of August (because I'll have to start a little earlier), and you ladies can jump in when you're ready and then we can chat.

I have buddy reads on 8th and 15th, so either 12th or 13th would work well for me as well.

Anni | 5066 comments I know there's a Buddy Read for Golden Fool right now, but I don't want to wait, does anyone fancy reading The Dragon Keeper this month?

I would love to read this one but I need to read all the other trilogies first! 😫


message 3060: by Charlie (new)

Charlie (charlieridley) | 5750 comments I must be going mad. I had in my BR tracker that I was due to start reading Renegades by Marissa Meyer today. I can't find a thread or even a request for one. Does anyone remember anything about this? I don't even remember if I suggested it or if I saw it suggested my someone else and decided to do it but somehow it's on my list.

Even if no-one remembers it does anyone fancy reading it with me. I'm just going to read it slowly alongside my other books this week since I've got 3 on the go.

Any time.

Bill | 2150 comments Anyone interested in starting any of these series in October or later.

Black Magician by Trudi Canavan
Lays of Anuskaya by Bradley Beaulieu
Echoes of Empire by Mark T. Barnes (I know I just missed this read)
Symphony of Ages by Elizabeth Haydon


message 3066: by Narilka (last edited Jul 07, 2018 05:18PM) (new)

Narilka | 5692 comments I'd do a Rhapsody trilogy reread (first three of Symphony of Ages) if you can wait until September to start. I love those books.

Edit: I take that back! I can start in August :)


message 3067: by Bill (new)

Bill | 2150 comments Hey Narilka. I would really like to start in October or later if that would work for you. Have a bunch of series and challenges I’m trying to wrap up before that.


message 3068: by Charlie (new)

Charlie (charlieridley) | 5750 comments Hey Bill I'll do Black Magician! I freaking loved that series when I read it years ago, it's definitely time for a reread.

Give rhapsody a good 100 pages before you make any rash decisions. :)

I think we were only 15 or 16 when we read these Siobhan. They were my first Trudi books!


message 3073: by Siobhan (new)

Siobhan (poi5ongirl) | 8702 comments Yep you're right! I hope they're as good as I remember.

October or later is fine for me. Later the better! XD

Same. I'll join too:)


message 3078: by Charlie (new)

Charlie (charlieridley) | 5750 comments @Beste I'm only about 15% into Renegades, just reading it slowly but it's very fun so far.

RE Black Magician, I'm happy to do any day, I'll fit it in :)


message 3079: by Charlie (new)

Charlie (charlieridley) | 5750 comments In the next few weeks does anyone fancy reading
Marked in Flesh, it's the fourth book in the Others series by Anne Bishop.

Can we do it in August or September?


message 3081: by Siobhan (new)

Siobhan (poi5ongirl) | 8702 comments I think Bill wanted October or later for Black Magician.


message 3082: by Charlie (new)

Charlie (charlieridley) | 5750 comments We could do one a month for Black Magician so people aren't rushing, maybe Oct, Nov and Dec?


message 3083: by Charlie (last edited Jul 11, 2018 01:00PM) (new)

Charlie (charlieridley) | 5750 comments Does anyone fancy reading Circe by Madeline MIller? I've heard some really great things about it.

I'm currently 18th on a wait list with 2 copies at the library. Best guess that puts me two months out. Can you be flexible?

Yes, but also on a wait list. #23 on 3 copies.


message 3086: by Lena (new)

Lena I have a copy. Maybe late September? Perhaps more people will have it then.


message 3087: by Siobhan (new)

Siobhan (poi5ongirl) | 8702 comments I could potentially join Circe late September. :)


message 3088: by Charlie (new)

Charlie (charlieridley) | 5750 comments I'm happy to do any time, no rush, how about Sep 24th?


message 3089: by Lena (new)

Lena Cool.

Emily | 306 comments Charlie wrote: "I'm happy to do any time, no rush, how about Sep 24th?"

If I've got the book by then I'll try to join. :)

OK, I'll set it up for the 24th of September when I get a chance tomorrow. We can adjust a little if the different loans come in early or late.

I have reads I’m planning to join on the 1st and 24th of those months so any other day works for me. Does anyone have a preference for the date?
