Buddy Read Invite (Retired)
Are you still wanting to read Murderbot diaries, Kathrine? I just got them on ebook so I'd be up for arranging buddy reads! :)I could probably start later this month if you wanted. Or May. :)

Yes, absolutely! I think May will probably work better for me, if that's okay with you? :D

Yes of course! :) Even if you'd rather do it later than that I don't mind.
If you're sure May is okay, I can do pretty much any date, so go with what's best for your schedule.
Do you think we should do one book every 2 weeks with them being short? Or we could do one thread for the full series and set our own pace. I'm easy. :)

Maybe we can push to after mid-June? I have a lot of exams from late May to early June, so I'd like to not burden myself too much 😅
I also just checked the price for the novellas and they're a bit pricy – could we maybe say that we BR the first novella and then I'll see if I'm interested in the rest before committing? :D

Of course! Let's just schedule the first one for mid June. :)

Sorry just saw your message! I say one giant thread with them just being short books :D

If you don't mind! :) Let me know what date in June you think is best and I'll add it to my tracker.

Oh right, a date! How would June 21 work for you?
Wanted to draw attention to the comic book club. It's a really nice, friendly place, but most people that are part of it are too busy with their own lives to participate in much. Really hoping that I can steer people towards it. I got a lot of free time, and my main passion right now are comics/trades/graphic novels, and I'd really love to have more people to read with. If this interests you...https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Tammie wrote: "Does anyone want to buddy read Doomsday Book with me some time in April?"I just read it and the sequel in the last week or I would. Both were completely different but each was very good.
Silvana wrote: "Great, do you want to start on the publication date right away? Please say yes 😆"Sure! That's November, right?

I will request the mods to create a thread. :)
@Tammie : I’d like to read Doomsday Book. Are you planning to read the rest of the related books? Though, for the date I prefer to start in mid-May. Or, if you really want to start in April, I’ll try to squeeze it in mid-April maybe like april 16th?

I'm only planning on the one book right now. If I really like it then I would be open to reading more. It's a book club read for me so I have to read it in April. April 16 would be fine.

I'd like to join too. Though I will probably start earlier because I have other buddy read on the 20th.

Hi All,I'm looking to set up a series buddy read for the following books in the June, July, August 2019 timeframe.
Nick Moseley is the best Indie fantasy author I've had the pleasure of reading in my life.
The series is as follows,
and
It's urban fantasy, with heaps of drama, and scathing British wit. It will make you laugh and make you cry. Who wants to join me in a buddy read.
I'll be reading both
Ruin by John Gwynne and
Shadows and Strongholds by Elizabeth Chadwick for the Tome Topple Readathon starting 13th of April in case anyone is interested in buddy reading them.
