The Unkindest Tide finally released on audio today... if anyone has been waiting to read it, I'll be starting it sometime in the next few days if you want to Buddy Read it...

I guess we use Charlie's Last Minute Buddy Read thread, if so?

Laura (lauradragonchild) | 6554 comments @Niki and Bill - I'll reread Clean Sweep with you too if that's ok. Are we reading the whole series? Cause I only read book 1 and I'd love to read the others too.


message 4661: by Bill (new)

Bill | 2150 comments I’m up for reading the others

Laura, yes absolutely you’re welcome to join us! I’d be up for the rest of the series as well. I’m not sure about timeline yet but I’m sure we can figure something out.

Beena (beenz) | 2198 comments Anyone fancy reading A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J Maas?

The Whole Trilogy:
A Court of Thorns and Roses
A Court of Mist and Fury
A Court of Wings and Ruin

Plus a Spin-off: A Court of Frost and Starlight

Will be reading the series from around 13th November if anyone's interested. I loved her Throne of Glass Series, so I'm looking forward to this!

I've got the first two books in the series (I think); I'd be up for joining providing I can dig them out in time!

Yay! I don't really have dates mapped out for reading them, is there a way you could have a thread for a whole series? Bit confused by how it all works tbh lol

I'll join. I've read the first one a while ago, but will reread it.

Great! I've requested a thread for it. I'm guessing we can just request threads as we go along for the others since it's last minute.

Yes... we're supposed to be doing it in the timey-wimey book club thread, but I don't think anyone else has been in the mood to follow me into reading Limited Wish, which I read last week... we can always just do a BR thread instead, if nobody else is ready for the release...

Release date is the 14th. I'll likely download it that day. Are you up for that?

Or I can be patient and wait a day to see if anyone else is interested before we decide :)


message 4680: by Narilka (new)

Narilka | 5692 comments Looks like it's just us! Did you want to start on release day or a couple days later?

It should be available for Kindle Unlimited Read & Listen on release day, I think, but I'm not sure if I'll make it to start immediately on release day... maybe a day or 2 of leeway will ensure we start at the same time?

Narilka | 5692 comments How about 11/16?

Robin P | 69 comments Anyone interested in reading Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire? If yes, please PM. I would like to start it in November itself.

PS: I am reading the Harry Potter series for the first time.

I hope you find someone to do this with you! I just finished GOF a few weeks ago as part of my yearly HP re-read, I'm now up to Deathly Hallows.

Daniel | 1534 comments Ugh ditto what Charlie said. Plus I have read it so many times I would be afraid I might inadvertently let something slip!

Great book and series

Btw, was just having a browse through the groups and I've just seen one solely dedicated to Harry Potter, so you're likely to find at least someone on there that wants to read it.

I'd be happy to read [book:The Name of the Wind
and The Wise Man's Fear since they've both been on my TBR for ages! Any time's good for me.
