Mentioned this in the buddy read's thread here. But basically I am open to any time after the first week of the challenge. Will see if I can then commit to Daughter of Smoke and Bone as well or not.

Thank you!
ok i did my tbr for june and july so here's some books i am reading that might be good for buddy reads:JUNE
Ink and Bone - someone said up above they were gonna start this in May and I said I could do it in June but they never got back to me, but if anyone is still interested
Howl's Moving Castle
The Republic of Thieves - I know this is the 3rd in a series but if anyone else is at the same point
JULY
The Diviners
This Is Our Story
Dark Places
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter
One of Us Is Lying
and also I might reread Darkly Dreaming Dexter if I have time but there's a lot going on lol
ANYTIME
Undead Girl Gang
Again, I'd like to start any of them [except Undead Girl Gang] by the 24th of the month because I need to finish them before the end. Although if we're doing Republic of Thieves probably better give ourselves some more time because those books are loooong and I struggle lol
@Karen I really wanted to read it in June because it fits in with my personal June challenge ...although I guess as long as we STARTED it in June I could technically allow myself to count it lol What would work best for you?@Elen okay cool, do you have any preference on dates? I guess we should do one towards the beginning and one towards the middle / end
Devann wrote: "okay cool, do you have any preference on dates? I guess we should do one towards the beginning and one towards the middle/end"I am fine with any date. So you can choose, how it's more convenient for your monthly challenge :D
PS. I have one BR starting on 15.07.2018, but I can read a couple of book at the same time if needed.
@Elen i felt like i had one for around that time too but now i'm not sure what it was lol. anyway i'm always reading like 6 books at once so i guess it doesn't really matter. but let's do dark places on july 8th and one of us is lying on july 22nd just to try to space things out a bit. and a week and a half should be enough time to finish one of us is lying before the end of the challenge i think
mods, can we get two threads going for those?
I've read One of Us is Lying for the uno challenge, but I'll definitely stop by the thread when you guys are reading it to see what you think :)

Sure, though it sure does make our job easier if you link the books you want a thread for so we don't have to go searching.
is a revisit; so we are rebooting the thread HERE

Vicki and I will be participating in this together! :)
Do we need to specify if our buddy read is for the Team Towers Challenge? Post 175 is for that challenge.
Vicki wrote: "Do we need to specify if our buddy read is for the Team Towers Challenge? Post 175 is for that challenge."
Only if you want too. The book with a link and the date or TBD is all very helpful!

I don't care if it says it's for the team challenge; I just want to make sure Morgan and I get points for our teams. :)

I'm up for Howl's Moving Castle and Ink and Bone for June. I'm flexible on start dates for both.
Devann wrote: "@Jenny - do you have any preference on start date?"Not really. The second week in June?
@Deanna and Jennyok let's do June 3 for Ink and Bone and June 10 for Howl's Moving Castle then. Deanna, I think we are reading quite a few things together lol
Mods, can we get threads for these two?

I could probably read Jonathan Strange. I started it last year, loved it, but didn't get a chance to read more than a couple hundred pages (which is still sounds like a lot!) before getting caught up in challenges and having to drop it to focus on other tasks.
I've been meaning to get back to it and wouldn't mind starting from the beginning. Could read it late June/July

How does June 19 sound? Or June 22?
just wanted to say that we've got a buddy read going for the 3rd gentlemen bastards book on june 8th so idk if you would want to start your read of the 2nd book before that or if you guys just want to come over when you're done but just thought i'd point it out
Devann wrote: "just wanted to say that we've got a buddy read going for the 3rd gentlemen bastards book on june 8th so idk if you would want to start your read of the 2nd book before that or if you guys just want..."If no one pops up for a BR of the 2nd book, I'll try to start and finish before June 8th.
ok cool, and even if you finish after june 8th i think it took me almost an entire month each to read the first two so i'm sure we'll still be chugging along lol
Anybody up for reading
Midnight Crossroad by Charlaine Harris? I haven't started this series yet or seen the adaptation on TV but I like all the books I've read by her so far.
Anyone looking to do informal buddy reads of these two books:
Tentative start date for both of 5/18. I'm on Team Lupin for Tower Teams and some other Lupin teammates will join, but we are looking for at least one other person who is on another team or not part of tower teams.
I can lead for both. :)

I would join either in late June.

I'm interested in
but there aren't any copies available at my library. I put one on hold, so I'm not sure I can start 5/18. If we can start later in May or early June I should have a copy by then (I hope). Team Draco Malfoy here...
Jammin Jenny, later in May would be fine! I have an IRL book club discussing it the first week of June. What about a 5/25 start date?
