Would Senlin Ascends in October work for you? And if we like it the sequel and City of Brass in November?
Sir Anni wrote: "Would Senlin Ascends in October work for you? And if we like it the sequel and City of Brass in November?"Yes sure. :) towards the end of October would be best if that's OK.
Any time in November for City of Brass.
I have City of Brass waiting on my shelves, so I'll join you as well. Senlin Ascends is on my to-read list as well, so if there is a BR I'll go ahead and get it. It's only 2.99 on US Amazon.
Great to have you Narilka and Melissa :)How about:
20th Oct Senlin Ascends
1st Nov The City of Brass
And should I request those as well?
20th Nov Arm of the Sphinx
20th December The Hod King
With all the reviews and the overall ratings, I'm quite positive that I'll like them and would like to continue ☺️

I also have Hope and Red on my TBR but I won't be able to get to it before September.

That's great, do you plan to read all 4 of them then?
We could reuse this old thread:
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
or I can create a new one at the Unofficial Buddy Read Club Folder Thingy.
September is great for Hope and Red, do you have a certain start date in mind?
I only own the first one so I was only planning for book 1 next week... but if I'm really into it I could read more sooner :)Hum I would like to finish The Sword of Kaigen before getting to Hope and Red, so perhaps around the 15th ?

Yes that sounds good to request.
I don't own the rest of the series yet so I'll only buy them/continue if I like Senlin Ascends.

I just realized I have almost no buddy reads in October, so does anyone maybe wanna buddy read some of these?Frankenstein, Dracula or The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (it is spooky month after all)
Or maybe The Forgotten Beasts of Eld?

I’ll read Frankenstein with you! Have been meaning to for the longest time!
Navi wrote: "I’ll read Frankenstein with you! Have been meaning to for the longest time!"Yay, great to hear and also me too! Do you have any preferences for a starting date? I'd perhaps like it if we could read it around the middle of the month due to some real-life plans, but I can probably work it in whenever :D
I’ll have to see where I’m at in October but put me down as maybeI’ve been wanting to read those classics for awhile
Kathrine wrote: "Let’s say Oct 15 then, we can always move it a bit if we need it :D shall I request the thread?"That’s perfect - yes please!

Done :D

Sounds great, Ahdam, just send me a message if you find you have the time! :D
The Traitor Baru CormorantThe Bear and the Nightingale
Anno Dracula
Anyone interested in reading one of these with me? :) The earliest that works for me is late September to mid October.

Shaitarn wrote: "Navi wrote: "
I'd be up for Anno Dracula! Any time is good for me."
I would also be in for Anno Dracula if in early October was good for you guys.
I'd like to do The Bear and the Nightingale but it would have to be mid October for me I'm afraid since I'm going to be in Cuba for two weeks at the start of October with very little/ if any internet access.
If I could intrude, but I was wondering if anyone would be interested in reading An Ember in the Ashes series starting with book one mid-September I had read halfway through the book a few years ago, and it was a blast. But halfway through, I stopped due to a reason that sounds petty now. However, I've gotten over it and with some books under my belt, I want to continue with this series because it's pretty damn good from what I read.
Also, not to say this was a huge reason, but I recently found out that the author is South Asian, and I do want to support these writers, especially in the fantasy genre.
So you can be sure that my review will be unbias.
:) :) :) :)
Yay! I'll request buddy read threads to be put up for the following:Anno Dracula - October 10 (Navi, Shaitarn, Sarah)
The Bear and the Nightingale - October 21 (Navi, Charlie) *so jealous about your upcoming Cuba trip, Charlie!! :D

Oh! Count me in for this one Ahdam. I've heard nothing but good things for this one so I would love to join you in on this one. Sounds like you really enjoyed what you have read so far too ^~^

Sweet, I'll give it some time before I ask for the thread but I have to say, this book is surprisingly dark for a YA novel and I guarantee you will hate a specific character
Ahdam wrote: "Sweet, I'll give it some time before I ask for the thread but I have to say, this book is surprisingly dark for a YA novel and I guarantee you will hate a specific character"Oh goodness...I can't wait XD
Katie wrote: "Ahdam wrote: "If I could intrude, but I was wondering if anyone would be interested in reading An Ember in the Ashes series starting with book one mid-September ..."I'll join for book 3, that's where I got up to when me, Charlie and Laura did a buddy read last year. :)
I am reading the following books for October just in case anyone want to BR:Early October:
Un Lun Dun
Dune
Mid October:
A Taste of Honey
The Mirror Empire

I'm up for Un Lun Dun :)
Hi all!So, I've recently requested a BR for Gardens of the Moon, by Steven Erikson. I've already found someone to read it (if you're reading this, Vernon, hi :D), but if someone else wants to join, please do! I'd love to hear fro anyone who's interested.
In the near future, I'd love to request a BR for Eye of the World, by Robert Jordan, but one at a time, for now.
Hope to read you soon!
P.S.: due to my studies, my reading pace is kind of slow, but I do my best, haha.

I was part of the January BR but really lost track midway so I might join you to finally finish it !

Same 😂 But as for finish I guess I mean re-start it...

I don't have the faith and the strenght to re-start it to be honest xD (and it's not very nice of me but I'm glad I'm not the only one to not get to the end and also that you will be here with me on the same boat xD)

Yeah I've been thinking if restarting the Malazan BR might not be a good idea? It seems I'm the only person still reading the series and I'm feeling lonely ;-(
Also, I believe there's been some talk among the 2018 BR-group to start a reread in 2020?

Haha, Team Always Behind strikes again ❤️
Should there be a 2020 BR, I'm sure they will meet Elinor and me sometime on their way
If you are wanting to jumpstart the series again I’d be happy to join, for me it just wasn’t the right time to do it Maybe I’ll get lucky this time

I'm the same with audio, but these are ebooks for me unfortunately. I'm reallllly booked up for August and September, but should be able to fit them in October if that's OK. November would be even better.
