Laura (lauradragonchild) | 6554 comments @Bea, Siobhan and Rob - should we fix Sword of Kaigen for August then? When would it be ok for you?

August for me too, please. Anytime to start in that month works.

Somewhere in the middle of August would fit best for me, but can do anytime really. :)


message 4354: by Laura (new)

Laura (lauradragonchild) | 6554 comments @Chris - how about 15th of August?

@Siobhan - would that be ok with you too?


message 4355: by Siobhan (new)

Siobhan (poi5ongirl) | 8702 comments Totally fine, if Bea needs a bit later though that's cool too.

20th would be perfect for me. We can do the 15th, though, if that's better for everybody else.

Siobhan (poi5ongirl) | 8702 comments 20th is fine by me! :)

I might be able to do this one too. August is fine with me.

#Sarah #Patrick

Did I miss a start date for this one? I'm taking part in another buddy read in the first week of July, I could start from the second week though... or anytime after that.

Hey, Annerlee!
My question never got a response so you didn't miss anything.

Second week of July would work for me as well!


message 4371: by Charlie (new)

Charlie (charlieridley) | 5750 comments Since I'm currently reading the Throne of Glass series and book 4 starts next month, I want to read the Novellas before hand since they're important to the plot of books 4+. Does anyone fancy reading The Assassin's Blade with me starting at some point in the next few days? My friend currently has my copy but I can get it back soon.

Tammie | 5949 comments Would anyone like to read We Are Legion in August?

Is at the end of next week okay for you? I think I could have a copy by then.

Charlie (charlieridley) | 5750 comments @Saar yeah that's great. Shall we say Friday 5th?

I've asked a copy today. Normally I'll have it on Friday :)


message 4376: by Narilka (new)

Narilka | 5692 comments It looks like the fully edited version of Sweep of the Blade is expected to release on the 16th. Would anyone be up for a buddy read towards the end of the month? Assuming it releases as expected.

How do you feel about starting on 7/23 if it releases as planned on 7/16? That will give people a week to obtain a copy.

Yes!! 1000% yes!

I listened to this trilogy on audio a couple of years back. Great stuff! Narrator is one of my favorites, btw.

Graeme Rodaughan Hi All,

Anyone up for a buddy read for the following two books in August, starting from August the 1st.

In order, Deceased Estate (The Brackenford Cycle #1.5) by Nick Moseley Hangman's Pond (The Brackenford Cycle #2) by Nick Moseley

The first is a shortish novella, and provides handy backstory to the series. The 2nd is a full sized novel, and is a rip-snorting addition to the series filled with both laughs and tears.

If I'm done in time (should be the case) and if I feel like it (not impossible), I will join you :)

Those look like something I might like. I'll have to read the first book, and if I like it I'll join you for these.

Graeme Rodaughan Hi Elinor, cool.

Hi Tammie, there is an active BR for the first book this month at https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... if you'd like to join in.

Ok thanks! I've got a couple of others to read and review, but I'll try to get to it soon.

Graeme Rodaughan All good, Tammie.


message 4391: by Emma (new)

Emma (lupinevendetta) | 42 comments Graeme, I'm about to start "Location, Location, Damnation" and after that I will absolutely join you for the next in the series!


message 4392: by Graeme (new)

Graeme Rodaughan Cool Emma, I'll see you on the current thread.


message 4393: by Barry (last edited Jul 08, 2019 09:15PM) (new)

Barry (boprawira) | 1212 comments Hi guys,

Melissa, Yanique and I are planning to start the Expanse series, starting with Leviathan Wakes somewhere around Aug 10. Yanique will also be joining us starting for the second book, though, because she's just read the first book.

The plan for now is to set up the first two books every 10th of each month. Then, we'll see if people want to read the rest of the series and at what pace.

If you guys are interested, please join us.

Schedule so far:
Leviathan Wakes - Aug 10
Caliban's War - Sep 10

Thanks lovely. You got a preference for when we start? I know you're probably busy Aug and Sept.


message 4397: by Charlie (new)

Charlie (charlieridley) | 5750 comments How about August 5th?

Siobhan (poi5ongirl) | 8702 comments Charlie wrote: "How about August 5th?"

That works for me! :) I'll request it when I get a minute.

1 a month? Or just book 1 for now?


message 4399: by Charlie (new)

Charlie (charlieridley) | 5750 comments 1 a month is great :) though I'll be in Cuba on 5th October so I'll be starting that one a few days late.
