Would the 20th work for you?

[Jammin Jenny]

Yep!

[Lexi]

Mods, can you add June 20th for White Rabbit? Thank you

[Leah]

Would anyone be interested in doing a buddy read of any of these?:

The Library at Mount Char by Scott Hawkins
His Majesty's Dragon by Naomi Novik (first in a series)
A Game of Thrones (believe me I know I'm late to the party on this one)
Dragon Teeth by Michael Crichton

These are kind of just a handful of books I have to read, but if anyone's interested, I have a pretty free summer!!

[Jammin Jenny]

I think there's already a thread for Game of Thrones. I just read Dragon Teeth or I'd join you.

[Leah]

I'll see if I can find it! Thanks a ton.

A list of all the buddy reads below. Easier sometimes than scrolling through to find the buddy read.

Hi Leah
I would like to read A Game of Thrones. I could start mid-June

[Tina ❣]

Thank you!

That would be awesome. Would they create a new thread, or would we go through the old one? I'm not familiar yet with everything.

[Jammin Jenny]

I'll do and am happy to start June 9th, but it's a LONG book so I probably won't finish until early July. I'm from Team Draco - not sure if you are are doing Tower Teams or not.

It's fine with me if you want to read it as a BR I'm up for it. We could read ~50 pages per day and be done in about 20 days. Not so bad.

[Erika]

Oh! I’d love to join in on Gone with the Wind! I’ve been wanting to read it for sooooo long!

[Alanna]

Anyone up for ?

Or some non-main-series Tolkien? I have Book of Lost Tales 1 and 2, Children of Hurin, and The Shaping of Middle-Earth.

(Team Luna, if anyone wants it for Tower Teams.)

[Jammin Jenny]

How does Gone with the Wind starting 19 June through 31 July sound to everyone?

[Erika]

Sounds good to me!

Great! When would suit you best? Somewhere around the 15th maybe?
Nevermind, thread's set up already :-)

[Tina ❣]

If Gone with the Wind is extended through to July- I’m in!

[Jammin Jenny]

Dear Mods,

Can we please have an informal buddy read for starting 19 Jun through 31 Jul?

Hi, I just joined this group but are you still wanting to buddy read a classic?

[Krystyna]

I have been wanting to do a buddy read for a while. Is anyone else wanting to participate?

I've really want to do Arabians nights. Can you do it in the middle of june or beginning of july?

Sorry, but I read it on my own a few months ago. Recommendation: find a different translation from the Burton.

[Alanna]

Krystyna wrote: "Alanna wrote: "Anybody up for a big classic chunkster?"

Master and Margarita and Genji are the only two left on my TBR. They're really time-intensive (Genji is 1000 pages), and since I'm doing Tower Teams now may not be the best time. Are you interested in one of those two?

[Annalisa]

Dear Mods,
Could we get a thread for starting on June 29th.
Thank you.

Hello Suzanne, I would love to do a buddy read of Barefoot Season

Hi Drew, I got a copy of Barefoot Season and would like to join you when you read this. Would June 22nd or later work for you? I have about 6 buddy reads before then and think I would be pretty slow if it was anytime before the 22nd. I'm also not sure if Suzanne still wants to join.

I'm ok with June 22nd or later.

Hello Suzanne and Annalisa~
June 22 would be terrific for me. Yea!!! I got something to look forward to.

[Suzanne]

Great! Mods, would it work to put up a buddy read of for June 22?

(I'm sure you saw the above, but just in case :)

I love Susan Mallery! I will try to join in too, if that's ok.

[Suzanne]

Awesome Sharon! I've never read Susan Mallery - but now I will =)

[Andrew]

Hello Suzanne and others~

The more people we have, the more opinions we have, the better the Buddy Read will be!!!!! The only bad thing is that we have to wait until June 22nd.
Before it comes time to read this hopefully wonderful novel, how about we discuss how this buddy read will work. I have seen this type of challenge in other groups and they all were slightly different than the others. Some questions that I have are:

1) Do we want to discuss this novel by a thread here on GR or through Private Message here on GR?
2) What kinds of questions or discussions would you like to be included (or excluded)?
3) Spoilers or non-spoilers?
4) What do we want to do if 1 or more people finish before other people?

Please let me know before June 22nd so that we can start on time.

--Drew

[Suzanne]

1. Probably for me it'd be nice to do through a thread on GR - plus for anyone doing the Tower Teams, it is good to have the buddy read thread to refer to - I'm pretty sure the Mods will set one up soon.

2) Up to you - I don't mind whatever kind of questions!

3) Since people read at different speeds, maybe mark spoilers with spoiler tags and before the tag, refer to what part they refer to - does that sound ok to you Drew?

4) If I finish early, I never mind discussing with people that finish slower - and vice versa.

Anyway, that is my 2 cents :)

[Andrew]

Okay. Thank you, Suzanne. Now let's see if Sharon agrees with us.

--Drew

[Annalisa]

Hi Drew,

I am part of tower teams and also find it helpful to have the thread set up here.

I like the spoiler tags because it does help when people read a different speeds.

Once the tread is set up I think we can discuss this more.

[Sharon]

I agree!

1) A GR thread works better for me.

2) If there are sample discussion questions for the book, we can start with those. I'm sure other topics or questions will also come up as we read the book. I'm open to going wherever the conversations take us.

3) We should probably use spoiler tags until we've all finished. Or, at the start of your post, indicate how far you are so we know if we should continue reading the post or not.

4) I'm also fine with discussing, regardless of where I or others are in the book.

Thanks!

[Cathy M.]

Dear Mods,

We would like to continue with the series and do an informal BR of starting 6/10. Noticed there was already a thread opened under the March's Urban Fantasy Event. Can you please move the thread to the Buddy Reads folder? Not sure if it also needs to be opened?

Thank you!!
