[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

lol I'll be here all week. Everybody keeps messing up my reading plans so I thought I'd pay it forward.

Jealous of your new hardcover.

[C.P.]

Wish I had time for a Steelheart reread. Can't fit it right now, unfortunately.

Hey i don't mind. At least you're picking good books for me. If you'd just help me read these other ones...

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

:)

At least I'm pushing books you're already interested in. I need help also reading my laundry list of backlog titles.

[Chris]

We need to hire people to finish books we've grown bored with..

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

I'll do it for a small fee...

You'd just use it to buy more books ;)

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

Hahaha guilty.

[Andrew]

I plan on starting the most recent book in Bernard Cornwell's Saxon Tales, The Flame Bearer, in the next few days. Word on the street is that an eleventh book in the series will be dropping in October. Anyone else in this group nearly caught up on the series, and want to read Flame Bearer?

I've already read this but I'm up for book 11 when the time comes. He really should have ended the series after this one.

[Charlie]

Does anyone want to read the new Alex Verus book Marked?

[Saar The Book owl]

Anyone wanna join The Death House? I would start tomorrow.

[♥♡¢σσкιє♥♡ (Krystle)]

Anybody want to read the first Mistborn book in either August or September? I'm probably the only person in this group who has never read it, but I'd love to discuss it.

I might be interested; I'd have to do some juggling of reads to fit it in, but I think I really should read these books since they've been sitting on my shelves for years!

[Shaitarn]

I've now got a copy of The Grey Bastards, so would anyone be up for a buddy read?

Cool, there is no rush for me. But I've have the books for years too and they seem perfect for a buddy read.

If you do find time, we could do it as early as next month or as late as October whatever works for you.

[Katie]

I was actually just looking into reading the Mistborn series as well! So I’d join your group :) August works better for me

Katie wrote: "I was actually just looking into reading the Mistborn series as well! So I’d join your group :) August works better for me"

Oh, Cool! Early, mid, or late August?

[Katie]

I just can’t do that first week in August for the Mistborn series. So maybe sometime after that? Or mid August? What works for you? 🙂

Mid August is perfect for me. How about the 15th?

[Katie]

That works for me Krystle 😁

[Bill]

Charlie wrote: "Does anyone want to read the new Alex Verus book Marked? "

Absolutely. It’s one of the few series I’m keeping up to date with. When were you thinking of reading it? I just started a buddy read tonight but the rest of my month is open.

[♥♡¢σσкιє♥♡ (Krystle)]

Katie wrote: "That works for me Krystle 😁"

Okay, I'll ask for the thread. Thanks!!

20th is great.

Super, cant wait!

Thank you! Looking forward to the read! 😁

[Charlie]

Does anyone fancy Heartland by Lucy Hounsom? I was thinking at the end of the month, maybe Monday 30th July?

[Dave]

Hey!

I'm going to be reading The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie if anyone is interested in a Buddy read? No particular date set yet as I'm waiting on it's delivery from Book Depository.

If there's any interest hit me up!

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

Dave that one has jumped up my priority list quite a bit. I'd love to BR it. If I put a hold on it today, I'll be 5th in line on 3 copies, so I'll likely get it mid-end of August sometime. Would that work or did you want to dive in sooner? :)

I'd be interested too but August is already pretty filled with BRs for me, so the beginning of September would be better (only if you'd be willing to wait so long, of course :) )

I might join you if you don't mind; it'd be a re-read for me, but I have a load of Joe Abercrombie books to get through so I might as well start again and tear straight through!

[Bill]

Veronica and Mayim, would Wednesday July 25th work for reading Tyrant's Throne book 4 of the Greatcoats series? Anyone else interested?

[[deleted user]]

Does anyone want to read Gray Mountain by
John Grisham? Starting today

[Dave]

Bea wrote: "Dave wrote: "Hey!

Yeah that sounds fair enough! I think it will be end of August anyway before a few of us have a copy of the book. I opted for Hardcover so the cost of that is an extra 2 weeks of a wait haha Anyway let's get back in touch closer to the time?

[Dave]

A re-read is always a good sign! I've heard a lot of hype about this book so it's been bumped up on my list. It looks like it will be the end of August before we start, if you're willing to wait then you're more than welcome!

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

What if we sent a tentative date of sept 5th and we can adjust it if need be? :)

[Dave]

Niki Hawkes wrote: "What if we sent a tentative date of sept 5th and we can adjust it if need be? :)"

Sept 5th works for me

[Em Lost In Books]

anyone interested in reading Peter Grant by Ben Aaronovitch with me starting from Whispers Under Ground (I have read first two books)? and remaining books of the series from August to December?

[Bea]

Dave wrote: "Niki Hawkes wrote: "What if we sent a tentative date of sept 5th and we can adjust it if need be? :)"

Sept 5th works for me"

Would you guys be ok with 10th September? I already have a BR starting on 5th.

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

I think my library hold might expire by then. Could I counter with the first? :)

[Dave]

Niki Hawkes wrote: "I think my library hold might expire by then. Could I counter with the first? :)"

Not every date is going to suit all it seems. I think we should set a date of the 1st and we can adjust the reading speed based on where people are in the book. That way, we should all be able to catch up to the same point if people start late.

What does everyone think of that?

Yes, we can start earlier of course if you can't borrow the book that long. I'd be fine with both 1st and 5th then, so set the date how it works best for you. I'll manage somehow :)

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

Okay, thanks Bea for accommodating. :) Like Dave said, we can figure out a way to pace the reading as we go.

I'll get a thread ready.
