I'll probably read it quite slowly setting myself a schedule to get it done by the end of November.

If anyone..."

I'll join :)

I will be there for the second book of Villains, Ange Jr.

[Zaara]

This is just a heads up. Siobhan and I are going to read the Moontide Quartet by David Hair starting Nov 4. The thread’ll be up soon after she contacts the mods…

[Tammie]

Does anyone want to buddy read The Harp of Kings with me? I've technically already started but it will probably take me about a week to finish.

[Zaara]

Does anyone want to start an impromptu BR of the full Nevernight trilogy with me from day after tomorrow?
I will be on the Mists of Avalon BR concurrently so it will be a steady but not frenetic pace. We can use the already existing threads in the Kristoff folder. I know the timing is a bit off, since most ppl will have finished their recap reads but I was just hoping...

I'm still stuck at a hundred pages into the second book, so I'll be there to discuss for sure. The footnotes are really dampening my enjoyment of the story and I'm considering either switching to audio or skipping the footnotes altogether....

[Zaara]

No problem, we are all staggered across the trilogy. I'm on Book 1, you're on 2, and Andy (idiffer) is reading Godsgrave and has promised to leave us posts and spoilers.

Classical education means I can totally handle footnotes, indexes et al...and if they're anything like the footnotes in Bartimaeus ~ kinda snarky ~ I'll love them. Hope that lifts your mood on them a bit and gets you thru to the end. Or else, like you say there"s always audio. Middle books are always iffy...you gotta keep things moving and yet not let them get to the climax....

Good to know you'll be reading alongside 😊😊
I'll have my package today. And then I'm also reading Vicious 2 with you. Maybe Andy will join that BR as well, lemme ask.

[Angela Jr.]

Great :)

[Siobhan]

When is Vicious 2/Vengeful? I need to read that!

[idiffer]

Z, idiffer is reading Darkdawn, not Godsgrave))

As I'm sort of reinvigorated for BR's as of late, here are a few invites for new releases of september.

The Ten Thousand Doors of January - sep 12

The Water Dancer - sep 24

We haven't set a date yet, book 1 is oct 17th. If i like it, I'd be inclined to binge the second one right after, but idk what the others want to do 🤷

Anyone interested in reading How To: Absurd Scientific Advice for Common Real-World Problems?

It's the "sequel" to What If?: Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions... but you don't need to read that first... they're not really connected... just similar concepts...

They're written by Randall Munroe, writer/illustrator of www.xkcd.com and read by Wil Wheaton...

Me and Anni read the first book in March, and made plans to read the 2nd book when we found out it was coming out... probably request a thread once Anni gets back to me, since I just remembered the book came out last week... the ebook/hardcover are a bit pricey, but audiophiles can just use an audio credit... the ebook/hardcover will have stick figure animations and stuff, tho...

This is more of a heads up / interest-catching post than more BR invites... a more literal invite, I guess :)

You’re more than welcome to join in For Ember in the Ashes. A date hasn’t quite been set yet, when do you wanna start?

[Gaea]

@Tammie - 23rd is great~ How do you want to do this? Read at our own pace or a couple of chapters a day, etc?

@Katie - thanks! I have nothing going on so any date is fine by me. Maybe next week? Are you going to be reading a chapter or two a day?

[Katie]

Okay! I’ll try and request a BR for the Ember in the Ashes for the beginning of next week. All are welcome, and Yupp its gonna be read at your own pace :) Just post in comments when you can with spoiler tags and all ;)

Any one want to read The Magicians' Guild this month?
Come on, it has 65k ratings!

Love that book!! Sadly I do not have time for rereads right now. But I encourage anyone thinking about reading it to join!

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

I also loved that one!

[idiffer]

I initially marked as "not interested" due to a negative review, but now I decided to risk it cuz I have nothing to read + I love magic schools

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

So... are there any Demonica fans around here?... Larissa Ione has a new full length book coming out in a few weeks, which wraps up the storyline of the last 9 novellas, and sets up the sequel series set to start soon, apparently...

The book is Reaper, and it comes out October 15th... Larissa Ione says that the storyline thread starts in Hawkyn and weaves through Her Guardian Angel, Dining with Angels: Bits & Bites from the Demonica Universe, and Cipher, leading into Reaper... all of these titles are available on Audible Escape (renamed romance subscription), if anyone is interested in reading with me (except for Dining with Angels, which is a short story anthology / cookbook)... the PNR books are all on the long side of novellas, at 200 pgs and 6hrs of audio... anyone interested?

Somehow I quit reading the novellas right when they became relevent to the future of the series...

[Elizabeth]

Anyone want to read The Burning White when it comes out next month? I'll be starting within a couple days of release.

[Barry]

Hi guys,

I'm planning to read the following books. So, if any of you guys are interested I'll be happy to have BRs for them:

1. The Machineries of Empire series by Yoon-Ha Lee. 3 books starting in early or mid October, one book per month
Ninefox Gambit - 5/10 Oct
Raven Stratagem - 5/10 Nov
Revenant Gun - 5/10 Dec

2. Semiosis duology by Sue Burke. Binge-read starting on December. The second book is expected to be released this month, but it's still quite expensive on kindle last I checked. So, I'm hoping there will be discounts during the end of year sale period ha.
Semiosis - 15/20 Dec
Interference - sometime during the Christmas break?

3. Manifest Delusions series. Starting either in mid-December or early January 2020. The first book of the series is on sale on kindle right now.
Beyond Redemption - 15/20 Dec/Jan
The Mirror’s Truth - 15/20 Jan/Feb
Swarm and Steel - 15/20 Feb/Mar

I read machineries of empire last year and thought it was pretty great... not up for a re-read, tho...

Semiosis looks interesting, so I'm down for BRing that... hopefully Interference has an audiobook by Christmas, as well...

I don't want to commit to Manifest Delusions, since it still doesn't have audio... I tried to read it once before on my Kindle. Hopefully some others show interest and I can try and tag along on a BR, with my Text-To-Speech experiment... it worked well with a simple mystery, but haven't tried it with much else, yet...

[Barry]

@Iain : let’s set up Semiosis for 15 Dec then we’ll wait for the audio version for you and a cheaper price for me before deciding when to continue?

[Tammie]

Would anyone like to read The Orchid Throne?

[Shaitarn]

Would anyone like to try some older (and possibly grimmer) fantasy by reading the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant? I have both trilogies, so if anyone's game enough to try all six books, we could give it a shot.

(The first book is Lord Foul's Bane if you want to look it up.)

That sounds good. I remember reading Lord Foul's Bane in high school.

Sorry, yeah, I read this when I was running late for work last week and never responded... this is fine with me...

[Anni]

I will start The Way Into Chaos in the next couple of days, would anyone like to join me? :)

[Shaitarn]

Would anyone like to read The Thousand Deaths of Ardor Benn either next month or December?

[Tammie]

Is anyone interested in buddy reading Columbus Day?

[Charlie]

Hey all, the BR for Fallen (Alex Verus book 10) was pushed back until this month since the release date was changed.

The thread is here if anyone wants to join: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

I started it last night and I'm loving it!
