I love Greek mythology. Antigoddess (Goddess War, #1) by Kendare Blake looks intriguing. I can pick up it at the library Saturday and start any time after that. Let me know what works for you.

Devann (devannm) | 2778 comments @Deanna Let's do the 15th, that way the mods can get the thread up and people can have some time to find the book if they want to join in. And I just like multiples of 5 lol

Mods, can we get a thread starting on May 15th for Antigoddess?

Christina (chrissy__) | 3007 comments Sorry I haven't checked in about the buddy reads anymore, but I'll definitely try to join you guys with The Power! :)

I was thinking more that it's technically a childrens' book, but I'm pretty sure it qualifies by word count.

They should be. PS. It's not a children book, it's more of YA. + Many Uno teams used it.

Keep me updated. Will you have a chance to find them? :D

Every Heart a Doorway isn't listed as "childrens" so it is fine by page count.

I also have it on my tbr so if I can get it will join in


message 134: by Christina (new)

Christina (chrissy__) | 3007 comments Elen, we can start Wayward Children whenever you'd like ;) is an informal BR okay for you?

Karen should we wait for you?

I can start anytime after 15/16 May and an informal is fine for me.
As it would be my first BR. Would we have the thread for each book or for the whole series one thread?
Christina, are you up to read all 3 of them or only first one? [I will read all] :)

I've reserved the book from the library and will get it next week, so 17th is fine for me.
I guess we could read the first one and then start a new thread if we keep going?

I've been eyeing Grave Mercy (His Fair Assassin, #1) by Robin LaFevers for awhile. I'd be interested in a buddy read for it. Any preferences of when to start?
