The hardcover came out way before the kindle and audible editions so it never happened. I'm in if you're up for it now that those editions have been released.

Yes I'm in. I noticed it was finally available. It seemed to take forever! I can start it anytime after Oct. 15th, so you can set it up for when it's convenient for you.

Ahdam (snowlocke) | 2429 comments Alright everyone, I was wondering if anyone wanted to read the sorcerers ring series by Morgan Rice, either in November or January starting with A Quest of heroes.

I read the first 5 or 6 books and I thought they were decent.....that was before I read any other book and looking back it’s pretty questionable.

I’m hoping to read it with a few people and see if I’m the only one who didn’t like it since I want to do something different and do a BR instead of talking about what I thought or liked about the book just talk about how bad it is...kind of like when watching a film that’s so bad it’s good plus I want to know how this series end ALL.....17.......BOOKS

Any takers?

Would 17th Nov be OK for you? Probably just use the YA Book Club thread. :)

message 3475: by Virginie (new)

Virginie | 6109 comments Does anyone fancy reading those books on release (or soon after) with me?

Yes and Yes... I keep forgetting about these and not adding them to my TBR... does the DFZ series have anything to do with the character in the epilogue to Last Dragon Standing?... it doesn't really sound like it does...


message 3478: by Soo (new)

Soo (silverlyn) | 6898 comments It doesn't look like it. Author's note says you can read DFZ without having read Heartstrikers. I'm sure there will be a little crossover. Added that to my list. =D

Whatever works best for your schedule. I own the books so can do them anytime.


message 3484: by Katie (new)

I think I'll re-read it after all, even when I said I wouldn't lol Highly recommend the Audibook for this one btw. Easier to follow :)

Silvana (silvaubrey) | 1970 comments Anybody interested in reading Jade City sometime in January?


message 3496: by Soo (new)

Soo (silverlyn) | 6898 comments Is there a thread for Skyward? I didn't see it posted for November.


message 3497: by Timelord Iain, Tech Support (new)

Timelord Iain | 35317 comments Mod
Not sure the mods have made the thread yet... this thread looks for interest in a Buddy Read, then it's funneled to the mods in the Please Make thread, then mods make the threads, so they can keep everything orderly...

The challenge threads and the Unofficial Book Clubs are the exceptions to this rule...


message 3498: by Soo (new)

Soo (silverlyn) | 6898 comments Will wait for Virginie to ask for the thread. =) I plan to read it regardless. lol
