I bought Vita Nostra yesterday! I'd love to buddy read it with you but I don't think I'll be able to until February. Is that okay?
@NaviMy February is booked. Can you do end of March? Week of March 23 or later?

March 23 is perfect!
Vita Nostra thread has been requested.
Narilka wrote: "Vita Nostra thread has been requested."Yay!
Narilka wrote: "Vita Nostra thread has been requested."This looks rather interesting and tempting.
See, new year, new temptations.

Yes it's tempting! If I find it, I'll join you in March.

Just bought it. Its $1.99 on Kindle USA.
Chris wrote: "Just bought it. Its $1.99 on Kindle USA."It's the same price Kobo Canada.
I’ve heard nothing but good things about Vita Nostra!

The growing interest in this thread piques my interest, too...
Anyone want to start The Amber Wizard or The Emperor's Edge within the next couple days? I'll likely be starting one or the other tomorrow.

Never done a buddy read but I think I'd like to join in on The Sword of Kaigen as well. Looks interesting and it sounds fun to read something with others for once. :)

The Goblin Emperor I need to read this one in January.
The Eye of Night
The Icarus Hunt
[book..."
The books (with audio) I'm interested in, are Seven Blades in Black, Onyx & Ivory, and Sisters of the Winter Wood...
I can do them whenever, but I probably want to wait awhile on the last one... I'm going to be continuing/finishing the Winternight Trilogy soon, I think, and it sounds similar...
The Cursebreaker series sounds interesting, too, but I don't think I can catch up, right now...
I hope Sword of Kaigen gets audio treatment, as much as people love it... Scott even recommended it to me...

Ok, happy to have you!

Ok, I'll look at my schedule and see when I want to add them. I don't mind waiting on the last one. It does sound a lot like the Winternight trilogy. I really enjoyed the first book in the Cursebreaker series.
@Tammie, have you read the rest of the Theonite series?
Lily wrote: "@Tammie, have you read the rest of the Theonite series?"Hmm, no I have not. I didn't even realize there was a series written before this one.
Timelord Iain wrote: "The books (with audio) I'm interested in, are Seven Blades in Black, Onyx & Ivory, and Sisters of the Winter Wood......"I'm going to set up Onyx and Ivory for the March 25, Seven Blades in Black for April 15, and Sisters of the Winter Wood for July 28 (unless you need more time on this one).

I invited people to BR it a few days ago in my megapost...

oh sweet :) I must have accidentally missed it. We've had a lot of posts the last couple days :D
Mod

I posted BR invites for every 2020 release I know of that I'm caught up on, and a few audio-delayed releases... I still have about a dozen murky release dates I'm waiting for news on before inviting...
@Iain i'd be up for emerald blaze too. I hadn't realised that was the new IA book.
I'm planning ahead, thinking of my next audio read, to start in the next week or two. I'm thinking of either Honor Among Thieves, Empress of a Thousand Skies or Every Heart a Doorway if anyone fancies any of those.
I have Honor Among Thieves so I would buddy read that one with you. I'm not sure if I can fit it in but I'll try. I'm also interested in Empress of a Thousand Skies.
Mod
Wayward Children is a great series... and the books are short... I think you can read the books after the first book in any order... Book 5 comes out next week, and is a story sequel to book 2... too bad I'll probably get to it before you can join...
@Tammie I could start Honour Among Thieves on the 7th Jan if that's any good?@Iain I've read some great reviews for this series so I definitely want to get to them at some point.

I'll probably join the Honors BR... why not?... bonus point! :D
I've requested a thread for Honour Among Thieves on the 7th Jan

Anyone interested in reading The Tattooist of Auschwitz
in January?

I realize this is a long list to look through, but these are the books I own and haven't read yet. Anyone want to buddy read any of these?https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...

We have a BR here for Spinning Silver on February 15 so you should join that one.
And I wish you'll find a buddy to read The Mirror Empire since I just did a reread on it and it sequel, and they were still very good. Plus, the third and final book is coming out in two weeks.

Warbreaker! I can do that. What dates did you have in mind? I could do after Jan...
