That's great, Laura :) Is there a date that works best for you?

I read this because I loved the movie... so disappointed.

Aw. That isn't very encouraging. :(
At least I didn't see the movie so I won't be comparing.


message 3205: by Siobhan (new)

Siobhan (poi5ongirl) | 8702 comments Yeah, thanks for the positivity, Yanique... 😂

I haven't seen the movie either, Laura. So we'll be open minded!

How about 5th Oct?

Laura (lauradragonchild) | 6554 comments Ha! Open minded it is and 5th is a deal. :D

message 3209: by Angela Jr. (new)

Angela Jr. | 1126 comments Yes! I was supposed to already have read this, but i had to put the series down for a while. I'd be excited to finally get to it :)

Yay! When is good for you?


message 3211: by Angela Jr. (new)

Angela Jr. | 1126 comments I always read multiple books at once, so I don't really mind. When is best for you?


message 3212: by Maria (new)

Maria (mariasaleem) | 684 comments Ok. How does the 26th sound?

message 3218: by Silvana (new)

Silvana (silvaubrey) | 1970 comments Hi Idiffer, I think that's the Gray House? Sure, but I could only start in early November.


message 3219: by Silvana (new)

Silvana (silvaubrey) | 1970 comments @Beste: I have The Ruins of Gorlan (Rangers Apprentice #1) by John Flanagan. Wanna BR that one in November?


message 3220: by Siobhan (new)

Siobhan (poi5ongirl) | 8702 comments I would like to read the Gray House, I don't have a copy yet but could hopefully grab one by November. :)

I read Sabriel this year and recommend it, but if you decide to continue on with the series I would be interested in joining you.

Hey there and yes! :)"


I would join for Malloreon too. Read and enjoyed Belgariad a few years back.

@Siobhan
Yes, it's gay gray house.
November is fine with me (though if you can fit it in earlier that would be mega awesome).


message 3225: by idiffer (last edited Aug 18, 2018 05:02AM) (new)

idiffer | 765 comments Oh, and since Karishma brought up Sabriel, I dropped it after several chapters. It's... very depressing.

How about November 5th? Will you ask for a thread?

I'll try, but... Siobhan, you wanna ask for a thread? lol, I'm so lazy.


message 3228: by Angela Jr. (new)

Angela Jr. | 1126 comments Anyone up for reading the day of the triffids or 1984 in october?

I'd also like to read scythe by neal shusterman, if anyone's interested! I read the intro chapter earlier and i am dying to pick it up, so I'd rather start this one within a week :)


message 3229: by Charlie (new)

Charlie (charlieridley) | 5750 comments I'm up for 1984 and Scythe!


message 3230: by Angela Jr. (new)

Angela Jr. | 1126 comments Yay :) how about oct 22nd for 1984 and today or tomorrow for scythe?


message 3231: by Barry (new)

Barry (boprawira) | 1212 comments @ Angela, Jr. : I might join 1984 in October too. Depends on my schedule, but I'll try to fit it in. More classic SF books, yay!

Speaking of classic SFF books, I've been meaning to read Watership Down, sometime in early November? Anybody interested in joining?


message 3232: by Charlie (new)

Charlie (charlieridley) | 5750 comments Oct 22nd is great for me for 1984 and I can start Scythe tomorrow since I'm going out straight after work tonight so probably won't get any reading done.


message 3233: by Charlie (new)

Charlie (charlieridley) | 5750 comments 22nd Oct is fine and I can start Scythe tomorrow :)


message 3234: by Angela Jr. (new)

Watership Down is one of my all time favorites. Hope you like it. 😊

Charlie (charlieridley) | 5750 comments Does anyone fancy the 2nd era Mistborn trilogy next year? I was thinking The Alloy of Law in Jan, Shadows of Self in Feb and The Bands of Mourning in March? I was thinking we could start around the 10th of each month.

I'm still reading Alloy of Law from June (... --"), I might join you for Shadows of Self, not sure about Bands of Mourning though since I'm quite slow with Brandon Sanderson...


message 3238: by Charlie (new)

Charlie (charlieridley) | 5750 comments @Elinor I hope to see you for Shadows! I've realised I'm a much slower reading than I used to be recently too. There's nothing wrong with taking your time and enjoying the story :)

Chris  Haught (haughtc) | 2348 comments Charlie wrote: "Does anyone fancy the 2nd era Mistborn trilogy next year? I was thinking The Alloy of Law in Jan, Shadows of Self in Feb and The Bands of Mourning in..."

I'm down. I've read the first one, but could use a reread.


message 3240: by Elinor (new)

Elinor | 1548 comments @Charlie : now the only thing (well except for having finished Alloy but that shouldn't be a problem) is to remember it when the time comes ^^
I'm slower than I used to thanks to a very long reading slump plus now I read a lot of books at the same time, wich wasn't the case before, so it's taking me longer to finish every book.

I'm the same, I read 3-4 books at a time now so it takes me ages to finish them. I quite like reading different stories though, I can then pick up what Im in the mood for.

Awesome!!


message 3242: by Colleen Marie (new)

Colleen Marie Zukowski (clevergirlfromgallifrey) Hey everyone! I was looking to start with the Powder Mage Series in September (the trilogy, not the novellas). It has been on my TBR for a while and I have been slacking with my fantasy reading so I figured I would start up again with that series. Anyone interested in a buddy read of the series with me?


message 3243: by John (new)

John Compton | 163 comments Does anyone have anything good (or bad) to say about Otherland? I have only read one from Tad Williams (The Dragonbone Chair) and loved it. Just got the first Otherland book at a used book store, and the premise seems neat. Maybe I am just looking for something different from Wheel of Time (I am on a BR spread over almost 3 years for that - started book 7 today). Anyone interested in a BR for Otherland?

I might need a reread by then. :)

I've heard good things about this series ! I'm interested in it but won't be able to read it before 2019, and I already know I will be veryyyyy slow reading it since it's, you know, huge. so I don't think I'm the right buddy to read with ^^
