I would love to join you! I would read the spanish version, though

[Courtney]

I'm open for any time. I was hoping for a sooner rather than later date. But I can manage 😀

[Anastasia]

Courtney-
Were you still looking for a reading buddy for Throne of glass?

[Eirelyn]

Courtney wrote: "I'm open for any time. I was hoping for a sooner rather than later date. But I can manage 😀"

Courtney, actually the holds on A Court of Thorns and Roses went really fast and I can get it asap! We can shoot for January, or even read it this month if you'd prefer. :D

As for Jackaby, is January good? :)

[Scott]

Book thief in June
American gods in October

These would work well for me

Six of Crows is on my list and I've been wanting to read the girl with all the gifts.

This is the buddy reads I want to do or joined up on already:
January - Caraval
February - Mansfield Park
March - Golden Compass
April - The Subtle Knife
May - The Amber Spyglass
JUly - The Couple Next Door
August - The Night Circus
December - Turtles all the Way Down

Did anyone decide about the Throne of Glass series? I want to read that one before Court of Thorns & Roses.

Also I am probably going to read Ready Player One in January if anyone is interested and I want to slip in The Red Rising series this year.

~[book:The Couple Next Do..."

I’m doing Lyra’s Oxford, Once Upon a Time in the North and The collectors (The Dark Materials’ novellas) in June, July and August if you would like to join me for those as well.

I would love to buddy read the other series you have mentioned as well, but I think I already have too many reads going on so I probably won’t be able to make it....

I might join in on the novellas. We'll see how much I like the series.

[Eirelyn]

Joan, do you have any particular months in mind for Six of Crows or Girl With All The Gifts? I'm open to any month but January now. :D

Also, I'd like to read Ready Player One with you.

[Joan]

Any month for Six of Crows and The Girl With All the Gifts.

And you're good with January for Ready Player One? I'm all excited for that one!!

ill be doing caraval in January, and i think ill start the throne of glass series then too if you want to join.

[Eirelyn]

Mani & Joan, reading The Girl With All The Gifts in February works for me too. :D

And Joan, yes I'm good with January for Ready Player One. :D I think that's the last one I can squeeze in for that month, lol.

As for Six of Crows, how about March?

[Joan]

Yes for Throne of Glass for January. So for Mary Pat I was going to summarize for her the buddy reads that I'm in.

January - [book:Caraval, Ready Player One, Throne of Glass
February - Mansfield Park, The Girl with All the Gifts
March - The Golden Compass, Six of Crows
April - The Subtle Knife
May - The Amber Spyglass
July - The Couple Next Door
August - The Night Circus
December - Turtles All the Way Down

And then I'm guessing we'll do the rest of the Throne of Glass series - February through June - Looks like the 7th book is supposed to come out sometime in 2018.

Eirelyn so that is a yes for Six of Crows for March!!

This month would be great. I was kind of hoping for ASAP dates for all of the books, but I can try and manage my holds and everything.

[Eirelyn]

Okay great. I'll get to reading A Court of Thorns and Roses then! :D

I'm not sure I can get Jackaby this month though.

Same for me

[Hannah]

I would like to start my Stephen King education next year so I would love to join the Salem's Lot group in January.

[Susy]

Hannah wrote: "I would like to start my Stephen King education next year so I would love to join the Salem's Lot group in January."

Cool! Salem's lot I already read, but there are a few others I still have to read. Unfortunately it seems I have all of 2018 planned with other books....

[Catherine]

Hannah, that is great that you want to join us for Salem's Lot!! Welcome!

I would love to start the Stormlight Archives with you in March!!!

[Scott]

If murder at the styles is set for February I’ll do throne of glass in January

Can't remember if I answered this question, but I have already way too many books planned for 2018 I'm afraid.....

[Susy]

Joan wrote: "Maybe we should put Throne of Glass on for June and going forward. I want to read that series as well. "

Ships....forgot to put this one on my list....fully booked for june and july. Would a start in august be ok?

[Ilona]

I have been looking through the thread, and I think most people are for starting Throne of Glass in January

[Susy]

January is no good for me, so if Joan is willing to start in august, we'll read it together. Otherwise I'll just read it some other time, no problem.

[Eunice]

I'm looking to join in with Caraval, Night Circus, American Gods, and His Dark Materials series. The Throne of Glass too, but January is also no good for me. If Joan and Susy are going to read them at the second half of the year, I'll read with them too.

[Susy]

Cool Eunice! Glad you are joining us!

[Ashley]

I am interested in reading:
The Night Circus
The Girl with All the Gifts
Turtles All the Way Down
The Book Thief

[Joan]

Susy wrote: "January is no good for me, so if Joan is willing to start in august, we'll read it together. Otherwise I'll just read it some other time, no problem."

Suzy - just because I already have this book I'm going to start the buddy read in January.

I have received "The Girl with All the Gifts" from my Secret Santa so I'll definitely be reading it this year too! =) I'll be joining you in February (or later in the year)

Greetings All!

I want to thank each and every one of you for your continued buddy read exuberance and your patience with me! It has been a very challenging year and I have to admit, I will be glad to see the end of it and to start a new one! I am in the process of updating my lists and will get January reads up in a day or two! Looking forward to a wonderful year!
