I doubt I will find time to reread Cast in Shadow but love that series.
However I'm interested in His Majesty's Dragon, anytime other than January. Also if you get to book 3 of Night Huntress let me know I need to finish that series.
Will do! Any month works for me too for His Majesty's Dragon. Glad to hear good things about Cast in Shadow. Book 1 has been sitting on my kindle for a long time.

January is starting to look a little busy but any other time is good!
Well hey, 3 in now for His Majesty's Dragon. Only BR I have at the moment is Gardens of the Moon, so I'm good for whenever on these.
I am also interested in Seraphina, Cast in Shadow and The Last StormlordTemeraire - any date is good for me.
I'm interested in Temeraire as well :) I wanted to join the last BR for the series but was too overbooked already... If you don't mind, I would like to start a little later, maybe March/ April?

@Tammie I’m interested in:Raven’s Shadow
Etched in Bone
Lake Silence
edit: I've just realised @Tammie I'd agreed to read Wild Country in March so maybe we can read Etched in Bone in Jan and Lake Silence in Feb? Maybe around 15th of each month?
@Elizabeth I’d like to read:
Geist
The Last Stormlord
I’m pretty fully booked until the end of March but from there I can fit these in 😊

Waw, I didn't know there was a new one coming out! But I think it's a stand - alone?
@Karishma - I checked it out already and of course I'm in!! We're talking Eragon and Safira here! I love them both!

It's an Inheritance Cycle spinoff so I think that's required reading. This is the start to a new series!

Laura wrote: "@Karishma - I checked it out already and of course I'm in!! We're talking Eragon and Safira here! I love them both!"Laura if you haven't read Beauty yet,(remember we were discussing it) would March 8thish work for you?
I'd like to join in on the first Dark Tower book, but I'm not sure I want to commit to the entire series before I know if it's something for me :)
Saar The Book owl wrote: "Anyone who wants to read the Dark Tower - series and the Shannara trilogy next year?"i'd be in for at least book 1 of each series too. Ideally April or later if possible.
Karishma wrote: "Laura wrote: "@Karishma - I checked it out already and of course I'm in!! We're talking Eragon and Safira here! I love them both!"Release day?"
A few days after release date please. I'm opting for a hardcover (it's only 50rs more than the kindle book so totally worth it) and it will take a few days to reach me.
And the date is fine for Beauty. Didn't get to read it still.
Saar The Book owl wrote: "Anyone who wants to read the Dark Tower - series and the Shannara trilogy next year?"I'd like to sign up for Shannara.
Dark Tower is more fantasy and less horror. Long series though. I have thoughts about the series. One day I may re-read it and not feel the angst of the first time. Heh
How does mid March sound for His Majesty's Dragon?Anyone who requested another book of mine have preferred dates?
Rest of my books1. The Martian - Andy Weir
2. The Husband's Secret - Liane Moriarty
3. Behind the Scenes at the Museum - Kate Atkinson
4. Chocolat - Joanne Harris
5. The Five People You Meet in Heaven - Mitch Albom.
6. Mortal Engines - Philip Reeve
7. The Scarpetta Factor - Patricia Cornwell
8. The Girl on the Train - Paula Hawkins
9. Marley and Me: Life and Love With the World's Worst Dog - John Grogan
10. The Cuckoo's Calling - Robert Galbraith
11. Wolf Hall - Hilary Mantel
Saar The Book owl wrote: "@Katherine: That's fine. If we have more people, that's good. What date do you prefer?"After April, like Charlie wrote, would suit me fine :)

I'm up for a martian reread and for the cuckoo's calling - that one has been on my shelf for forever...
15th-20th feb, april, may or june would be great for me

I'm interested as well, got some really old copies of the books from my dad years ago and haven't read them yet. First I need to figure out where to start, because all the books are splitted into 3 books each in my edition...

Ok Charlie January 15 for Etched in Bone and February 15 for Lake Silence works for me. I'll get those scheduled. Can we read Raven's Shadow towards the end of February? Maybe start on the 25th?
EDIT: Scratch that I had to put a different buddy read on Feb. 25. How about March 1?

I thought another Veronica had joined at some point and I just wasn't sure if maybe you meant her. Plus, I so rarely check this thread. But I'll join #4 with you. I can knock out 2 and 3 before then.
