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.

Devann (devannm) | 2778 comments 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

I’m up to republic of thieves too
Maybe at the later end of TT?


message 162: by Elen (new)

Elen | 1273 comments Devann, I am up to read in July Dark Places and One of Us Is Lying


message 163: by Devann (new)

Devann (devannm) | 2778 comments @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


message 164: by Elen (new)

Elen | 1273 comments 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.


kat (wanderfulbooks) (wanderfulbooks) | 2329 comments Can we have the Court of Mist and Fury BR set to May 22 as start date please? Thank you.


message 166: by Devann (new)

Devann (devannm) | 2778 comments @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?


message 167: by Christina (new)

Christina (chrissy__) | 3007 comments 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 :)


message 168: by Anja (new)

Anja | 106 comments Is anyone interested in any of these books for buddy read?

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.

Dark Places by Gillian Flynn is a revisit; so we are rebooting the thread HERE

Not really. The second week in June?

Mods, can we get threads for these two?

Red Seas Under Red Skies (Gentleman Bastard, #2) by Scott Lynch Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke June or July

The Astonishing Color of After by Emily X.R. Pan June 10?

On the Jellicoe Road by Melina Marchetta June 6?

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

Devann (devannm) | 2778 comments 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

If no one pops up for a BR of the 2nd book, I'll try to start and finish before June 8th.


message 191: by Devann (new)

Devann (devannm) | 2778 comments 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

Jammin Jenny (jamminjenny) | 4185 comments Anybody up for reading Midnight Crossroad (Midnight, Texas, #1) by Charlaine Harris 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.


message 193: by Joy (new)

Joy | 281 comments Anyone looking to do informal buddy reads of these two books:
Circe by Madeline Miller A Court of Frost and Starlight (A Court of Thorns and Roses, #3.1) by Sarah J. Maas

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'm interested in Circe by Madeline Miller 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...
