So, is it confirmed for April we are starting The Blade Itself? Can we do it on the 5th? Tiamat's Wrath is out late March so I need time to focus on that. Then we can have Before they are hanged in May 5th and so on.

Is this for all the standalones and duologies you listed?
Sorry, missed your comment iain!
Charlie wanted to only do 4 of them, but we could do all of them on the 8th of each month, if you'd like!

Sounds good to me. I'll request it :)

That's fine with me... I don't care what order you pick to do them :)

Calling all Christopher Paolini/Inheritance Cycle fans - I assume I'm not the only one - new book is finally coming out!

Oh I didn't know there's a sequel planned, I'm interested, but I guess I should reread the other books first, as I read them a long time ago 😅

I'd be interested in buddy reading the last one, if you really decide to do a reread 😋. I've only read the first 3 so far.

Great :) Gentleman's guide is already set up for march 15th, but I'll ask for the other threads then

You didn't reply about which order you'd like to do them in, so i just set them up randomly. Hope that's ok for you ;)

I'm not going to reread the other ones, i still remember most of what happened.

Bardugo, both suggested reads
Shusterman, both suggested reads
A Little Hatred
Tiguana
And maybe more! :)

Yeah? XD is that because of my bear picture? Or something I inadvertently said? Haha.
Loving your new pic by the way!!

Tigana, not Tiguana... I did checkout your new bear pic a few days ago tho, :)
And thanks... I prepped this image when I made the Santa one, and decided to switch early (and append my name so people wouldn't need to go to profile to see that it's Eeyawn/Eeyore :)

I read the first one last summer, and there never seemed to be any BRs for the 2nd thru 5th books, and I forgot, so I still need to read those, but I'm pretty full until at least April/May, at this point...

I don't mind waiting until later in the year :) I think they'd make a great summer holiday read, so if you're free around July/August, we could maybe do the series then?

Sounds good... whatever day of the month works for you is fine... the back half of my year is relatively open right now, except for the 8th to the 20th

Which month is that? xD
We could start around the beginning of July (the 1st?) and then try to have the series done by end September, that gives around two weeks per book – but I'm also fine with less time per book if that works better

I depends on when, because I stil need to buy them.

Tentatively set for July/August next year, but nothing's decided yet

I will be all over that as soon as it comes out!

You guys didn't know it was coming?... I found out about it, and shared the news, as soon as we finished out Buddy Read back in February...
I can understand the sentiment, tho...

Children of Time really left the option open for a sequel, given the epilogue... it sounds like it will be a very different book...

Sorry, did not mean to derail the thread with my sequel hate haha
Carry on, s'il vous plait...

Would July 1st work for you for the first Lady Trent-book?"
No problem for me :)

I'd be interested in reading at least the first couple, but I'm already booked till at least April... I hear the quality drops over time, so I don't want to commit to the whole thing...

Like Iain, it'd fit me better later in the year – April's fine with me

Are you referring to me for Veronica Speedwell #4? I'd have to read #2 and #3 prior to that but I'd be game.
