Elinor | 1548 comments I'm easily sold on anything (except if there are zombies, then you would really have to try hard to convince me)


message 3352: by Hailee (new)

Hailee | 2762 comments I decided last night that I really want to read Stalking Jack the Ripper (Stalking Jack the Ripper #1) by Kerri Maniscalco Stalking Jack the Ripper. It will be arriving in the post tomorrow, is anyone available/interested in a buddy read?

I just read it a couple months ago. It was interesting. If you go on to read the second one let me know!

Will do. If I like it I'll definitely be carrying on with the series as book three which is due to come out in a couple of weeks has really peaked my interest.

I would like to read it, but I don't think I can squeeze it in right now.

No problem Tammie. To be honest I haven't got the time myself but I have the urge at the moment and I just can't resist so I'm delaying a couple of things to make it work ;-)

Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card
Dune by Frank Herbert
Hyperion by Dan Simmons
2001 A Space Odyssey by Arthur C Clarke


message 3358: by Elinor (new)

Elinor | 1548 comments Depending on the date for Dune, I'm interested, it's been a while since I've been meaning to get to it. But I'm already quite overbooked for the rest of 2018...


Pat the Book Goblin  | 0 comments I would like to read at least one of those series soon. Thank you for replying though! :D


message 3360: by Seán (new)

Seán | 602 comments I'd be up for Hyperion maybe in the next month or two? I'm reading pretty slowly lately though, so don't worry if you get a better option!


Pat the Book Goblin  | 0 comments Sounds good! Just message me when you're up for it!

Awesome! Are you interested in reading the whole series? I'd like to finish most of them before January. Does that sound good?

I've been interested in ender's game for a while. Would you be willing to wait until next year?

Maria (mariasaleem) | 684 comments Anyone wanna read/re-read The Chronicles of Narnia series? :)


message 3366: by C.P. (new)

C.P. Cabaniss (cpcabaniss) | 1578 comments I just did Chronicles of Narnia last year (for the first time) or I would say I was up for it. Really liked the series.


message 3367: by Charlie (new)

Charlie (charlieridley) | 5750 comments @Maria I'm up for chronicles of Narnia!

@Lillia I'd love to do The Diabolic. I've read Incarnate but I'll happily read book 2 with you when you get to it.

I'm almost done reading Dune, but I would love to join in on the discussion of it if you do a buddy read! It's a book that has a LOT of layers and details and mythology, and I feel like discussing this with others will enhance the experience

That's where I stopped on BDB too so depending on when if I can fit it in I would join.

I could do it sometime in November? I read book 5 back in 2002, so I may need some refreshers from you!

Also, I love psychangeling! Enjoy it.

message 3384: by Brittany (last edited Sep 19, 2018 06:30PM) (new)

Brittany | 155 comments I'm new at this too! But yes I can ask. Lets say Nov 12? If that works for you?

October is great for me! I'm pretty fully booked all the way until Christmas, constantly reading 3-5 books at any one time so at this point adding another to the list isn't going to make much difference!


message 3389: by Maria (new)

Maria (mariasaleem) | 684 comments Ok. How about the 5th?

Right now I'm just interested in Dune. I'll have to wait to see how I like that before deciding about the rest of the series. Though I probably can't commit to Dune until early 2019. But if you find others that can read it before then, don't feel like you have to wait for me. Books always come back around for new BRs around here. :-)


message 3391: by Soo (new)

Soo (silverlyn) | 6898 comments Dune is great. I could never get into the next book and felt like I wasn't missing anything after talking to friends about it. Dune is definitely worth reading.

Oct 5th it is :)


message 3393: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer Hickok | 15 comments I'm new, so I don't know if this is the right way to do this, but I'd like to try a Buddy Read for All the Birds in the Sky (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...). I just downloaded it from the Tor website as part of the ebook of the month series.


message 3394: by Angela Jr. (new)

Angela Jr. | 1126 comments Hey guys, i want to challenge myself to read all the books i purchased in 2018 before the end of the year and scheduling buddy reads will make it A TON easier for me to achieve this!
Here are the ones i haven't yet scheduled a buddy read for:

Everything is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer
The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue by Mackenzie Lee
Afterworlds by Scott Westerfeld
Animal Farm by George Orwell
The Day of the Triffids by John Wyndham
Second Chance Summer by Morgan Matson
and The Unexpected Everything by Morgan Matson

I hope some of you are interested in "forcing" me to achieve my goal :P

I'll read Triffids. When you thinking? My November is looking OK.


message 3397: by Ahdam (new)

Ahdam (snowlocke) | 2429 comments I'll also read triffids as well with you

Also I don't mind read Animal Farm maybe this book will finally turn me into a devout socialist who is against this cancerous system known as capitalism run by fat cats

I joke but yeah I'll join you for both Triffids and Animal Farm


message 3398: by Siobhan (new)

Siobhan (poi5ongirl) | 8702 comments I'll probs join Animal Farm too. Can't hurt to reread XD
