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.

After reading Bookburners, we decided to read Super Powereds: Year 1 as a weekly read. Every Friday we'll read a few chapters, like TV episodes ;)Feel free to join us here
Karishma and I started the (unofficial) One Story a Day bookclub. We're reading one short story every weekday; they are all free and links to read 'em online are provided. Come join us :)
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?
Hey everyone! Would anyone like to read The Colour Purple by Alice Walker with me? Maybe in October or sometime in November?
Hello everyone, anyone would like to join me forThe Red Pyramid by Rick Riordan. I would be comfortable in November between 6 to 13
Zaara and me are going to read Frankenstein, over in the Read all the Classics - Thread, come join us!
Also, I'm doing the Kindle Unlimited Trial Month and I would like the listen to some of the free audiobooks :) Is anyone up to binge read/listen one of this series with me?The Queen's Poisoner

I read it a few weeks ago. I'm still going to stalk this buddy read though to see what ye think of the writing! :D

Sir Anni wrote: Just stalking? Nah, that's unacceptable :D You should join us for the discussion! *sigh* Fiiiine! But I don't think I could re-read it. It was an emotionally difficult read for me :/
I'll keep an eye on the thread and join in whenever ye get started :)
Hehe. Excellent! What date works best for you all? I don’t know how many books you’re tackling at the moment 😆

I'd also like to read The Slow Regard of Silent Things
Since we've just read the first book in the Black Magician trilogy, does anyone want to read books 2 and 3 The Novice and The High Lord with me?
@Bill I thought we did but it looks like we didn't agree on dates! I'm really eager to continue. How about December for Novice and January for High Lord?

Would 17th Nov be OK for you? Probably just use the YA Book Club thread. :)
Does anyone fancy reading those books on release (or soon after) with me?- Skyward by B. Sanderson, released Nov. 6th
- Minimum Wage Magic by R. Aaron, released Nov. 9th; this one is taking place 20 years after the events of Last Dragon Standing

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...

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

Okay, how does November 4th sounds for everyone interested in The Slow Regard of Silent Things? We can always move around the date if people are busy :)

Super, how about Dec 10th and Jan 10th?

Good for me :)
Katie wrote: "Okay, how does November 4th sounds for everyone interested in The Slow Regard of Silent Things?

Katie wrote: "Okay, how does November 4th sounds for everyone interested in The Slow Regard of Silent Things? We can always move around the date if people are busy :)"Works for me :)
@Dave I'll also listen to the audiobook!
Charlie wrote: "Does anyone want to read Godsgrave with me?"Yes, me, but I still need to read the first one. When are you planning the second or is it all the same?
@Saar I can read it anytime, just let me know when you've read Nevernight and we can plan book 2 :).

Minimum Wage Magic - yes please!!
I have to wait on Skyward. It will likely be a holiday gift :)

Perfect.
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...

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.
